Anna Brosche on city budget
Boesche talk about the city’s budget process and how the Council Finance Committee was able to approve most of what Mayor Lenny Curry recommended. She also spoke about the approval of the county pension funding referendum.
Servpro
With the First Coast facing a potential hit by a tropical system this week, Ross spoke with Bryce Clark with Servpro, a Jacksonville-based disaster recovery and restoration business. He spoke about the dangers of flooded homes and ways to prevent extensive damage.
Food obsession
Talking about food has become an obsession for many adults in the U.S. With the popularity of cooking shows, many people spend more time watching others cook than doing it themselves.
Ross spoke with Jeffrey Spear about the phenomenon and why people have become so obsessed with quality food preparation.
