Manatee County

Jack, who's in his 70s.

says he uses medical marijuana to alleviate his back pain after working for the New York City Department of Sanitation for 40 years and obviously retired to Manatee County, right? Elaine apparently just smokes because Jack does.

Yeah, something social to do with her husband.

When they're inside their house...

fucking ex-ex-husband he hasn't been in her life in four years and i'm telling her she's dead and the only thing you can see is what happened what do you mean what happened i

don't need brewer do you hereby give my full consent that my residence located at 6716 be searched by any sheriff or deputy sheriff of Manatee County, Florida.

I give this consent freely and voluntarily without compulsion or threat of any kind.

I fully understand my constitutional rights in regards to the search and it is my intention to fully and completely waive such rights.

In Redding, Pennsylvania, it was funded in part by the Weill Missing Foundation, two part-time people.

in North River Manatee County right now in Florida.

It is funded by the Patterson Foundation, which has about probably five full-time folks, and in partnership with the Bishop Parker Foundation, which has one and a half full-time folks.

I could keep providing examples over and over again.

Because I think lean funders are so deeply embedded in communities or have the potential to be so deeply embedded in communities.

And because I think they can play different roles in moving this kind of work forward.

I think one of the most important things I need to keep emphasizing is you don't have to start with some large community change initiative like we did in Alamance County, North Carolina, or even writing Pennsylvania or North River Manatee County in Florida or DeSoto County, Florida.

You can start small.

My dad was a sheriff.

My brother's still on the force in Manatee County.

So I recognize the uses of them for law enforcement purposes, which is why we have a whole list of exemptions of those crimes like kidnapping and things where there's not time to go and get a warrant, where law enforcement needs to act very quickly and swiftly.

I'm not banning it altogether.

I'm always happy to share because while I love Sally and I want Sally to be the best, I want Charlotte County to be the best.

And now I want Sarasota and DeSoto and Manatee County just to keep growing and evolving and getting better and better with each year.

So I'm always happy to share anything that I have.

Well, we appreciate you.

They have game design, graphic design.

So by partnering with a school, a university that actually has those programs... partnering with Greatness Beyond Measure, Melanie Thomas, because she also reaches, you know, a certain group of kids that we know are in the space of game video gaming.

But now how do we take that meeting kids where they're at and then trying to get them to take it to the next level? And in the past few years, we've also partnered to host an event in Manatee County.

So Manatee School for the Arts also has a stellar program.

It doesn't create new data.

It's already being used in Manatee County, and the director of public service there, Jody Fisk, has called it a time-saving tool, allows them to make critical decisions.

Tampa PD wants the technology.

They got a grant from the state.

So officer locations, investigative records, all kinds of different things.

And it allows officers to search and analyze that information in this one system.

And it's not just Manatee County.

You've got Largo Police.

We got no argument.

Well, that's before we got in the truck and we left for my house and we were going to go to his friend over in Manatee County.

We started getting an argument in the car and I told him to shut the up and leave me alone.

He turned around, he slapped me and he told me to get the truck.

Yeah.

Taking Care of Maya, which was the local story out of, what, Manatee County of Maya that ended up at All Children's Hospital.

Yeah.

And this was a big, huge story, and he was the cinematographer behind Taking Care of Maya...

well and first of all i just don't know that uh the message i want to hear from david jolly is that he's got some republican support i mean i would assume he does because he was a Republican and he's bringing that back up.

He's got one notable Republican, George Cruz, a Manatee County Commissioner.

I don't know.

I keep thinking, Ryan, and I keep going back to it.
