Last update: 10 hours ago

Real Estate & Local Policy: Bonita Springs voters will decide Tuesday on a $35 million bond referendum to fund the Bonita Estero Rail Trail, with opponents warning about long-term property tax costs and supporters pitching it as a safer, long-term community investment. Politics & Campaign Finance: U.S. Rep. Randy Fine is asking the FBI to investigate his GOP primary rival Dan Bilzerian and Lake County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini over alleged unreported campaign spending tied to a purported Florida political group. Business & Retail Expansion: Shake Shack plans to open 11 new locations across nine states this month, including Orlando and Doral, as the chain continues rolling out a West Coast-inspired menu. Aviation & Mobility: Gov. Ron DeSantis says Florida is preparing to test eVTOL “flying taxi” aircraft at SunTrax in Polk County by year-end, aiming for possible service soon after. Consumer & Fraud Watch: BBB Scam Tracker data shows Riverview logged seven scam reports in July, up from two in the prior month, with online purchase scams driving the biggest losses.

Sports Business: Florida Realtors’ 2026 Convention & Trade Expo in Orlando (Aug. 19-20) will focus on AI, fraud prevention, cybersecurity and a Wealth Building Summit for agents.
