Flood-fix rainchecks, targeting spiked drinks, red-faced over a red card, teen game-changers

Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed $810 million from the state budget. A large portion of that involved water infrastructure and flood mitigation projects. How will that decision affect Florida residents? Then, what if you could detect a rape-date drug in your drink using jewelry? A USF graduate student is joining forces with a former beach volleyball teammate to make it happen. Also, the U.S. team was eliminated, but there are still aftershocks about President Trump’s connection to FIFA’s suspension of a red card suspension before the team’s final game. To close, a pretty cool project by teens to keep peers away from “teen takeovers.” Website: https://www.wusf.orgSign up for our daily newsletter: https://www.wusf.org/wakeupcall-newsletterFollow us on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WUSFInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/wusfpublicmedia/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsN1ZItTKcJ4AGsBIni3

Through the eyes of a dog, coming fuel circle, VA under strain, grill rides, tagging rays and sharks

We were recently visited by Dave, a furry friend, but he wasn’t here to play. He was there to work and give us a personal demonstration on guide dogs. Dave even provided a personal demonstration on how he helps people gain independence. Plus, we’ve seen gas prices skyrocket, then come down, only to go up again. Is the latest cycle making a difference to your weekly budget? Also, a conversation over the burnout and how staffing shortages are driving healthcare workers away from the Veterans Affairs system.

When AI gets it wrong, a new ID debate, the Latino vote equation, politics of a ‘Wimpy Kid’

He was at his Fort Myers home when a fast-food security camera in Jacksonville Beach snapped a picture of a criminal suspect. An artificial intelligence tool used by police agencies somehow identified him as the perpetrator, and he was arrested. Technology got it wrong, but it wasn't alone. Afterward, Latino voters are seen as the key to winning elections in Florida, but are candidates really paying attention to their concerns? Then, how will an important change in driver’s licenses affect you? And a well-known children’s author is helping a local candidate for office. Rage against the machine(0:00) A Fort Myers man was hundreds of miles away from where a crime was committed, but an AI facial recognition match sent him to jail anyway. Now, he’s suing. His ACLU attorney discusses the lawsuit, which challenges a Pinellas County-operated system used by law enforcement statewide. GUEST: Nathan Wessler, deputy director of the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology ProjectThese face cards are marked(11:38) A new Florida law will add citizenship and immigration information to driver’s licenses and state IDs. Lawmakers say the change is about election confidence, but opponents question the necessity and impact. A local tax collector and an immigrant rights advocate discuss what residents might expect. GUESTS: Thomas Kennedy, policy adviser with the Florida Immigrant Coalition Mike Fasano, Pasco County tax collector A powerful political force(20:40) Latino voters helped reshape Florida politics in 2024, but experts say campaigns still struggle to understand the community’s diversity. We discuss the issues driving Latino voters and how their influence could shape future elections. GUESTS: Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, academic executive and former U.S. representative Eduardo Gamarra, Florida International University political science professor Jeff Kinney/Brandt Robinson for Congress Not flying under the radar(35:44) The creator of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” is stepping into the political arena. (Wait, isn’t this a form of the dreaded “cheese touch”?) Seriously, Jeff Kinney has teamed up with a Pinellas County history teacher running for Congress for an event focused on civic engagement. The goal: get younger voters involved in democracy before it feels like middle school math. GUESTS: Brandt Robinson, educator and congressional candidate Jeff Kinney, children’s book author

Charters and closures, both sides of the tax, glacial recognition, Tampa's gold star

Pinellas County is making big moves to close and merge under-enrolled campuses as charter schools seek space in public schools through the state’s Schools of Hope program. Families and educators are weighing the benefits of expanded school choice against the disruption caused by closures and consolidations. We start the show by unpacking what’s at stake. Also in the news: property taxes. Should lawmakers reduce or phase them out? A pair of lawmakers take calls from listeners and explore the trade-offs between tax relief and maintaining quality of life. And what’s going on with this chilly weather? And what’s with all this talk about snow in the Tampa Bay area this weekend. We turn to someone who knows. Finally, Tampa will soon shine on the global stage as native sled hockey player Declan Farmer heads to Milan with his sights set on a fourth Winter Paralympics gold medal.

Rough seas for port proposal? Plus, avoiding immigration scams and a long to-do list
