Monroe County

We've got a lot of election stories to cover today.

Local election officials in Leon and Monroe Counties.

in Florida said federal agents were spotted near polling places during early voting.

Now, the Leon County Supervisor of Election said he lodged a formal complaint with the FBI after two customs and border protection vehicles were sighted outside of the county's busiest early voting location in Tallahassee.

Is that what was going on? So there's that.

And then also Monroe County, the Supervisor of Elections said that they were just checking to make sure because somebody said up mask federal agents.

Are we really sure about that? But they're investigating it.

They don't know, but they're going to put it out there and Tampa Bay Times is going to run with it.

I just wanted to get back to this again.

I just, you know, you never know.

And I'm, Is it like I'm pessimistic? Is that the word I would use with regard to the Tampa Bay Times story about two Florida counties reporting seeing the immigration enforcement near or at polling places? And then you have Monroe County that's like, well, we're going to investigate whether there's reports of masked federal agents conducting a stop at a polling place in Key Largo.

And the only reason why I bring this up is because, and again, is it that I'm pessimistic because sometimes I think to myself, Soph, there are people in the state of Florida and across the country who would really like to say that they saw something And bring it up to a supervisor of elections or bring it up to someone else who would be politically on the same side as they are just to kind of gum up the works or make it seem like, you know, there's there's Trump and DeSantis by default and the state of Florida doing what Trump's bidding is.

I've never heard him say that.

You know, the reason I say that it's coal fly ash is because we have 28 peer-reviewed journal articles from a world-famous PhD, as well as a sitting director of Monroe County, Florida Department of Health.

28 peer-reviewed journal articles where they're talking about how the substance that we're being sprayed with is coal fly ash and all the horrible implications of all this.

So, you know, to know that the actual substance that we're being sprayed with is probably the best investigative lead that's ever been produced.

It's a small city, but it's a pivotal city when it comes to the community violence and just how different neighborhoods interact, right? So we didn't make an argument, but that's not it though.

The state interest in Florida City is that it's also the first municipality that Monroe County has to evacuate into in the middle of a storm.

And so when we sold that angle, the state of Florida started listening.

They're like, oh.

And now geography starts to take over, Patrick.

So Chad and Ben lies in Monroe County.

Fort Myers is in Lee County.

Okay.

The search also involved ground teams, helicopters, drones, and police dogs, but no trace of Gordon was ever found and he remains missing.

Number 8 Roger Sawyer 67-year-old Roger Sawyer was last seen at a remote campground in the Flamingo area at Everglades National Park in Monroe County, Florida, on March 5, 2011.

Roger is from Oregon and had taken a cross-country trip with his family in a motorhome.

Some of Roger's relatives went to the visitor's center, leaving Roger and his wife behind.

No, and that's...

Can I tell you something? That's a great question, Carlton, 'cause look at Monroe County, one of our smaller-

Mm-hmm

... counties.

... and other sundries.

Uh, this is, uh, at the Islamorada Resort there in Monroe County, Florida.

Deputies called to the Cheecha Lodge & Spa after a guest spotted nearly $900 in hotel splurges that had been charged to her room without her consent.

According to the sheriff's office, resort security then found more illegal charges, so the hotel issued guest reimbursements for a total of $2,419.
