A 14-day sales tax tax “holiday” on school supplies, clothes and personal computers kicked off Monday, aimed at helping families save money in preparation for the 2024-25 school year.
A tropical wave brewing on Florida’s doorstep prompted Gov. Ron DeSantis to issue a state of emergency on Thursday for 54 counties, most along the Gulf Coast and in northern Florida.
And the week closed out as the fight over an effort to legalize recreational marijuana continued to heat up, with billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin dropping millions of dollars to help DeSantis defeat the plan.

By the time you read this, we will have finished up our three candidate forums for this election season.

A tree has fallen on 319 and knocked out power at the library – it’s not clear how long it will take to restore service. We are moving tonight’s candidate forum to the Wakulla County Community Center, (318 Shadeville Rd, Crawfordville, FL 32327) still starting at 6 p.m., to hear from county commission candidates, incumbent Mike Kemp and challenger Valerie Russell.
