Familiar in Florida

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:37:13 GMT

It’s the start of another soggy weather week for much of Florida. There are several reasons you’ll likely encounter a downpour (from time to time). The main reason is that we’re tapping into a large pool of tropical moisture. That juicy air is being drawn up from the south and southeast with light steering winds. Since showers and storms aren’t getting pushed along very fast, the lingering effect will be the threat for street flooding. Of course, that has been a common trend for the past 2 weeks.Unfortunately, we’re likely to remain stuck in this wet pattern for the rest of the work week (and possibly into the start of the weekend). A front will sag into Florida and stall out. The stationary boundary will become the focal point for more developing activity as we get deeper into the week. If there is a beacon of hope, it might happen by Sunday. That’s when the front could slip by, bringing a veer in winds out of the northeast. Slight dryi...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:37:13 GMT

The Wu administration plans to shun a City Council hearing aimed at weighing whether a state of emergency should be declared in the Mass and Cass zone, given the Board of Health’s decision against taking such action earlier this month.There will not be any administration representatives in attendance at a Tuesday hearing that will “discuss the humanitarian crisis” at the troubled intersection, as the mayor’s team is prioritizing a Thursday hearing, where Michelle Wu’s anti-encampment ordinance will be considered, her spokesperson said.“Declaring a state of emergency, or them passing a resolution to say we should do a state of emergency is largely symbolic,” a Wu spokesperson told the Herald, referring to the resolution put forward by City Councilor Erin Murphy, who is chairing Tuesday’s hearing on the matter.“The ordinance which is going to be discussed at a hearing on Thursday provides an actionable tangible path forward for dealing with the crisis at Mass and Cass.”Murphy, who als...

English High students in wheelchairs deserve to enter school without dodging the dumpster, city councilor says

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 22:37:13 GMT

After a nearly year-long push for a truly accessible entrance, English High students in wheelchairs are still dropped off bumping through the school’s dumpster and delivery side door.“As a 24-year special ed teacher, I know that it’s a simple thing for facilities to fix, but it could make a huge difference every day for these kids,” said City Councilor Erin Murphy. “Just showing that that city actually cares. This is embarrassing.”This issue was initially brought before her and other city leadership on Oct. 12, 2022, Murphy said, when a non-verbal English High student in a wheelchair requested help at a Civic Engagement Day event.“He was saying he would like either the dumpster moved or the polls moved because it’s hard for his teachers when they get off the wheelchair bus to lift them over the ramp and into the building,” said Murphy.The small side entrance is visibly partially blocked by poles and a dumpster.
