The Sarasota County Commission surprised everyone Tuesday when it took back a vote from last year, picking up the collection fee tab for school taxes. But the debate of what to do with the fees is not over. Next: Booker High School is an institution in Sarasota’s African American Community, and picking the next principal is a high profile issue. Ed James III was there for a candidate event. Next: Two Democratic challengers are trying to take the U.S. House seat held by Greg Steube in the Sarasota district. We begin with Matt Montavon. Finally: NOAA’s hurricane hunters made a stop at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.
