07/08/26 Pensacola Morning News with Andrew McKay 7am Hour

Good morning! 7am hour brings: UWF Provo and UWF grad, Jaromy Kuhl, talks about the performance based metrics at UWF (grad rates, tuition etc), UWF got a 92 which is insanely good. UWF is the 2nd best overall in the metrics over every university in Florida incl FSU Florida and UCF. The only university that beats UWF in metrics is: USF.  Remarks from Manny Diaz and giving credit to the BOG (Florida Board of Governors). New metrics next year, percentage of BA graduates with an employer - at FSU has 80%  USF 80%  UWF is 83%  University of Florida is at 85%, Median salary range for a job following a year after graduating from University:  UCF 52.1k a year  USF 49.8K a year, FSU 51.3 k a year and UWF 54.6 k a year. A new scale starts next year based on new metrics, Kuhlmentions that 10 years ago UWF was in the bottom three and now are in the top 2; President Trump says ceasefire w Iran is over; Mayor DC Reeves joins the show to discuss: the shooting downtown on the 4th of July, press conference coming up, great community, camera access and great Pensacola police force, downtown completely safe - Mayor Reeves walked with his friends around downtown Monday night. Says this is why those type of things dont (usually) happen here, investigation still undergoing, SRC had budget meeting re property tax and defunding sheriffs association - talks about comparisons to the city of Pensacola, Wall Street Journal talks to (talked to) Mayor Reeves about budget cuts and taxpayer dollars, CRA bonding, bonding against future property tax dollars, going back to 4th of July shooting - curfews - maybe a better approach which starts with a practical conversation about why 14 year olds are out late (for example) . State staute on the books already - possibly use as a template? , safety bollard monies have come through, - lightning round - fun questions with DC Reeves (grocery store temps, most America movie, dog on or off the bed?)
