I'm Stephen Ruiz, online content editor for OrlandoSentinel.com. Welcome to February, and what do you know? We begin the month with some of our top stories. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

Good morning. It's Thursday, Feb. 1. We begin with Scott Maxwell's column commenting on several topics, including the hypocrisy of a proposal for a "healthy marriage'' guide in the state legislature.

Meanwhile, the pool of candidates to be Orange County's next mayor thinned out by one when school-board chief Bill Sublette pulled out of the race.

And finally, we invite you to listen to our next podcast on the 2017 Central Floridian of the Year here.
