On tonight’s program: The Florida Legislature originally planned to be back in Tallahassee around this time to work on a new state budget. But so far, NOTHING seems to be working; There still may be a chance that lawmakers may be back at the Capitol to redraw the state’s congressional districts to favor the GOP; One year after the mass shooting at Florida State University, we check in with a student who was barricaded as the situation unfolded; The campus shooting tragedy also led to state lawmakers trying to increase security without impinging freedom; Memorials to the shooting victims remain on the FSU campus one year later; And during the Civil Rights battles of the 1950s and 60s, Jewish and Black people often found common cause in the oppression historically visited on them. Now an effort is underway to reforge those ties.
