Commissioners approve Dali funding despite beach woes

While concerns surrounding beach renourishment funding nearly derailed Tuesday’s vote, Pinellas County Commissioners approved giving Dali Museum officials $25.16 million for a significant expansion.

That was less than the $34 million requested by Dr. Hank Hine, the St. Petersburg institution's executive director. Local leaders comprising the Tourist Development Council (TDC) recommended providing the full ask - half of a $68 million project - in May.

Local nurse-turned-influencer provides a voice

After spending over two decades as a local registered labor and delivery nurse, Jessica Sites is now using her platform as a social media influencer to serve as a healthcare advocate.

A report by the Florida Hospital Association projects that the state will face a shortage of over 59,000 nurses by 2035. Usha Menon, dean of the University of South Florida College of Nursing, called the situation a “crisis” that was “completely exacerbated” by the pandemic.
