Back to EpisodesSt. Pete Council Clashes with Mayor on DEI Bill
Description
St. Petersburg city council members are at odds with the mayor over his opposition to a state bill banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The mayors stance is seen as undermining local control and stirring up unnecessary drama. Meanwhile, Florida lawmakers are pushing forward with the anti-DEI crackdown, causing tensions between city hall and Tallahassee. In local news, former fire rescue chief Jim Large has announced his mayoral run, and voters may decide on extending the port lease to support a tech hub. The city plans to buy old railroad tracks for a new recreational trail, and a waterfront condo sold for a record price. Despite chilly weather, storm recovery costs from Hurricane Milton remain a concern for residents.
