The Anastasia Mosquito Control District board gave themselves holiday bonuses this month, something they’ve done for at least the past six years. That practice was ended by the district’s attorney, D.A. Amy Myers, who determined the bonuses likely exceeded the board's authority. We’ll hear from the reporter who broke the story about how the bonus began and grew, and whether board members could face consequences.
Guest:
- Noah Hertz, St. Johns County reporter for Jacksonville Today.
Then, we sit down with the creative mind behind Netflix’s hit holiday movie Hot Frosty. The former Jacksonville resident has been spreading festive cheer on the Hallmark Channel as well, writing three additional holiday romances airing this season.
Guest:
- Russell Hainline, scriptwriter.
And, 52 weeks of concerts — for the second year in a row. We hear from friends and dedicated music fans Heather Schatz and Jason Roth about their year in music, from Vampire Weekend to JJ Grey & Mofro.
Plus, local musician Arvid Smith brings us some offbeat holiday music, performing The Cherry Tree Carol on sitar.
