Episode 39: Parkland land swap with Lourdes Ramirez - April 23 2026

from The Detail with Cathy Antunes · host Cathy Antunes

Lourdes Ramirez joins Cathy Antunes to discuss a shady beachfront land swap that Sarasota County is considering at their upcoming April 21 meeting. But key questions exist about the land swap which is being considered to settle a lawsuit. Can the County swap property purchased with parkland program tax dollars? Why is the County looking at approving that same parkland for development? Does the lawsuit plaintiff actually own the land they want to swap with the County? And do dark money PAC donors have an easier time gaming local government?
