@davehydesports To use a sports cliche (which I know you hate), you laid it all on the field. Your accomplishments are unrivaled at the @sunsentinel, and I know your colleagues are heart-broken. Readers, even more so. But you can do whatever you want now. Take your time. You earned a rest.
The older I get, the more I believe there is nothing a digital site can do to deliver information more powerfully than a printed page. Can't replicate with a screen the emotional intake of this image.
Stunning revelation that Fannie Mae has a secret blacklist of condos that condos didn't know about until they applied for financing. That's about to change.
An exhaustive review of records by the Orlando Sentinel showed many of the cases were riddled with flaws undermining state attorney Monique Worrell’s ability to prosecute, while others were mischaracterized to portray alleged failures. Great reporting by @chreyesrios.
Thanks to generous supporters over the past 3 years, the Sun Sentinel has had extra resources to do important local journalism. It matters. #GivingTuesday

"South Florida city fires lobbyist over Orlando Rep. Amesty’s request for $3 million"

This administration has lost so many legal challenges and concealed or delayed so many public records that some people might think this is normal.
It is not.
The public should never be denied public info - no matter how much a politician fears its release.

"Despite multiple requests by The Gainesville Sun over the past couple of months, DeSantis' office has refused to supply any records from applicants for the board in defiance of the state's public record laws."
The funding request listed only one “documented show of support” to justify this $3 million appropriation - a “Letter of support from the village manager of Key Biscayne.”
Except the manager said he never wrote such a thing.
And that was just the beginning
