Good morning. It's Wednesday, March 16. Yesterday's Florida's presidential primary shook up the race for the Republicans with Marco Rubio suspending his campaign for president as Donald Trump won easily in Florida, as well as three other states. Hillary Clinton won Florida on the Democratic side and also the four other state primaries. 

Winter Park voters narrowly approved a ballot question that would pave the way for a new $30 million library, events center and parking garage. And see photos from Central Florida primary elections. Here's what else is happening in Central Florida. Have a great day.
