Episode 265: WSLR News Fri., June 28, 2024: Vacation rental bill; tree memorial; green incubator; Democratic convention

After letting pass more than 80 bills that pre-empt local decision-making, Gov. Ron DeSantis - to the surprise of many - just vetoed one bill that troubled local communities. We have the details. Then: A month ago, New College cut some 40 trees - including historic slash pines - in a preserve. Now neighbors are hosting a memorial service this weekend. Everyone is invited, and Tyler Oldano has the story. Next: Low-income housing and environmental causes rarely converge. But they do in a new incubator in Sarasota. I was at a ribbon-cutting this morning to get the scoop. Finally: For one Sarasota resident, being sent to the Democratic Convention in Chicago this August as a delegate for the local party means coming full circle. She was in Chicago in 1968 to cover that protest-laden convention as a young reporter. Ramon Lopez has her story.
