Honored to report @AnaChacinc and I won 1st place in the investigative category of the Associated Press Sports Editors contest.
Although the story is dark and was difficult to report, it feels good to receive recognition for our work.
Thanks to our editor @caseyfrank1!

It's no joke. April has sprung early. ☀️🌸 The TY the Tasmanian Tiger Spring Sale has begun on PlayStation. If your mates missed this classic the first time ‘round, now’s a great time to flamerang it into their collection. 🎮🐾
But be quick — this sale won’t stick around — like a boomerang!

The Gonzalez Zoom town hall on fluoride was hacked by someone, who shared recorded racist and homophobic messages and declared "White Power." Zoom event ended after that.
Sounds like no committee hearing planned on Commish @RobJGonzalezFL proposal to stop adding fluoride to Miami-Dade drinking water. At an online town hall, he says legislation set for a vote before the full board at its April 1 meeting.

I spoke with someone who works at the store right in front of the destroyed Arthur McDuffie historic marker in Miami. He said they found the plaque Monday morning, broken off and laid behind a wall several feet away from its base. (1/2)

(2/2) Miami-Dade County says their experts are sure the break was likely caused by a vehicle that drove up on the curb and hit the sign. Not clear how the sign was moved.
h/t to @miaminewtimes for breaking this story.

Broward State Attorney Harold F. Pryor said investigators in the Alex Diaz de la Portilla corruption case relied on "unreliable" witness testimony and "circumstantial evidence" to prosecute. Basically, investigators brought a dud case.
