A spate of inflammatory mailings in the race for Duval County School Board shines a spotlight on the realm of dark money financing. We explore the sometimes shadowy world of campaign funding and how the laws have changed to accommodate increasing anonymity.
Guests:

- Jerry Holland, Duval County supervisor of elections.
Then, Nassau County celebrates the inclusion of 55,000 acres in the state’s Florida Forever conservation plan. The protected land includes waters that are home to the Atlantic sturgeon, a fish on the federal endangered species list, as well as historic lands that were once settlements for American Indian nations like the Timucua, Uchees and Muskogees, as well as the African descended Gullah Geechee nation. These lands also include historic sites that were part of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the War of 1812.
Guest:
- Logan Cross, chair of the Sierra Club of Northeast Florida.
And, JCA Aquatics Director Dustin Rulien joins us to discuss the importance of teaching children how to swim, especially those with autism.
