What caused a quite new subdivision in suburban Sarasota to be under water after Tropical Storm Debby? An expert found a smoking gun, and he has a series of recommendations for Sarasota County on how to prevent similar damage during the next floods. Ramon Lopez has the details. Next: Two hundred and sixty five warehouse workers in Sarasota scored one of the biggest wins for private-sector unions in decades in this region.  Then: The Sarasota County commission wants to steer millions of federal disaster relief dollars to a developer-led training program. That has stirred up pushback by people who want the funding to go to public schools instead. Finally: Sarasota's LGBTQ community has been hit hard by the recent storms. Noah Vinsky tallies the damage.
