Description

This week on The Florida Roundup, we spoke with Gainesville Mayor Harvey Ward about the state’s plans to audit the city in addition to other local municipalities as part of its effort to reduce unnecessary government spending (00:00 ). We also spoke about those efforts with the Miami Herald’s Alexandra Glorioso (09:22 ), who stuck around for our conversation about how Florida is once again at the center of the Epstein case (14:02 ). Then, we looked at how federal and state cuts to public broadcasting will impact public media in Florida with Paul Grove, president and CEO of WEDU — West Central Florida’s PBS station — and Judith Smelser, president and general manager of Central Florida Public Media, based in Orlando (19:32 ). Plus, a roundup of immigration news from across the state (37:24 ).
