In this week’s edition of Facing South Florida:
We’re taking a look at the impact of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ unprecedented decision to veto $32 million in grants to arts and culture nonprofit groups across Florida.
CBS News Miami’s Jim DeFede discusses the cuts with former Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber and Michel Hausmann, the artistic director of Miami New Drama, a theater company that produces local plays.
Plus, there may be a new ghost candidate in the race for a Miami Beach State House race. DeFede interviews Democrat Joe Saunders, who now finds himself with a last-minute challenger, his aunt Maureen Saunders Scott, who is demanding to be on the ballot as Moe Saunders. She lives in North Florida, has raised no money, and yet somehow made it on the ballot. There are questions about whether she is being manipulated by outside interests.
