from WSLR News · host WSLR News

If you have a gunshot wound and no insurance, you’re likely to spend significantly less time at Sarasota Memorial Hospital than insured patients. The hospital explains what’s behind the discrepancy. Next: Expect worker shortages at rehab facilities, in homecare, and retirement homes soon. Next Friday, thousands of Haitian immigrants working in care jobs will likely drop out. Then: An upscale business wants to move to Sarasota’s Gillespie Park - and it actually got a warm welcome in a neighborhood workshop. Next: A state board is telling community colleges to ban undocumented students. We have a report with local reactions. Finally: He served time. Then he got a law degree, and he got Florida to change its constitution. Now, he is running for governor, as an independent. We have a profile of Desmond Meade.
