Episode Details

Altamonte Springs is shutting down its legendary Fourth of July event, Red Hot & Boom, after 29 years — citing skyrocketing costs, massive crowds of 220,000, and the sheer logistical headache. No fireworks in the future, but the city’s budget’s still approved at nearly $122 million, with property taxes staying flat. Meanwhile, the beloved city library gets a one-year reprieve despite low usage, as officials weigh options like outsourcing — though locals argue it’s vital for kids and community.
