Good morning. It's Wednesday, Feb. 17. Within the past two decades, the Sanford airport has grown from a tiny aviation field into Central Florida's second-largest airport - and it is expected to keep growing. Yesterday was the last day to register to vote in the March presidential primary, and two names came up from newly partisan voters: Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.
