The board of New College met on Thursday to talk about finances, amid growing enrollment. There was no discussion about murky accounting at the foundation that supports the college.

In an interview on WSLR’s The Detail, he made some observations about New College. Next: Turning Point USA, the conservative student group, will hold its national meeting in Tampa in July. Then: Lulu Martinez made a wrong u-turn in North Port and ended up in an ICE detention camp in Texas. Meanwhile, charges over her traffic violation are piling up here at home. Our reporter caught up with her lawyer, as Lulu will be facing two court hearings next week. Finally: Remember the wilted grass, bushes and trees after the flooding during last year’s storm season? Our reporter talked to an expert on how to prepare your yard for the next floods.
