Episode 10 w/ Dr. Savarese from FGCU's Water School

On this week’s podcast we have the first part of our interview with Dr. Savarese from FGCU Water School where he is a professor of coastal resilience and climate adaptation. In part one of our interview we look at how communities plan for the effects of climate change and what kind of effects are expected here in Collier County. We, as always have our panel discussion where we dive into the Covid resurgence here in Florida. In full disclosure we intended to dive into other topics, such as the environment, etc., but the explosion of cases and growing numbers filling up hospitals around the state and particularly here in South West Florida compelled a longer dive into the numbers. But before we get to that, let’s get some party Info out of the way.We have Biden Signs! Are you sick of seeing Trump Signs and Trump Flags in your neighborhood? Are you ready to let the maskless, MAGA Hat Hat Wearing crowd know you are in support of a man who believes in science and listening to experts during a pandemic? You can get your Biden Sign delivered to your house by one of our volunteers for a donation of $10. Go to our website and request a sign today.In an effort to support our candidates, we are putting on Candidate Spotlights so that voters can listen to the candidates and here their plans on how to help their constituents. We have had two spotlights so far with David Turrubiartez Jr. for County Commission District 5 and Laura Novosad for Florida House District 80. Our next event is on Tuesday July 14th at 5:30. You can sign up for this event on our website or on our Facebook Page.  Each subsequent week will focus on another candidate so check on our website for those dates and sign up. We will have audio and video of each spotlight available on the podcast and on our website as well.We’re excited to announce that we exceeded the match for Marv’s Match in only four days and raised nearly $6,000 in donations over the weekend. A huge thank you all of you who donated it will help us get Democrats and non-democrats who realize we need to move in a different direction to the polls this November. Finally, the Florida Democratic Party has their big Leadership Blue gala on July 18th at 6:00 PM with the next President of the United States Joe Biden as the keynote speaker.
