A. Ignore samstaff. The last thing Illinois needs is exotic reptiles being introduced. Contact the Chicago Herpetological Society. One of its members would probably love to take your turtle and give it a good home. You might even like to join the group or at least attend a meeting or two.

What is the law in Florida for hiring and criminal records?
Q. I want to know how far back the state of Florida can go to trace a criminal background. Is there a limit? My friend is moving here because she is struggling in Connecticut to find a job because her felony is following her. This was in 1989. She has no record since then. She is coming to Florida to try to start a new life. And I was curious to find out if anyone knew how far back they look when applying for a job. Thanks for anyone's help! Really appreciate it!

A. Criminal records do not fall off, ever. If she only committed one crime, and has been clean since, she should go and talk to a lawyer in CT to see if she can get her record expunged as it is hampering her ability to stay a productive citizen. Tell her to quit looking for work in large companies and quit telling her future bosses about her felony, Especially if it is a small business and a low paying job, small companies just do not bother to pay to check employees backgrounds like that. The only problem she would have would be if she gets in the company and then does a lousy job. I have been known to pull credit checks and criminal background checks after the employee is working because we want to fire them and don't want to worry… [cont.]

Q. My family is coming to town and they want to go to busch gardens and sea world. There is a florida resident discount for both parks. Whats the story? Am I better off just paying the full amount or can I take advantage? People who don't know what they are talking about need not reply.
