Good morning, Daytona Beach.

Since July 1, Florida Highway Patrol officers have arrested 55 drivers across Central Florida for dangerous excessive speeding violations—some in Seminole County on I-4—and drivers now face charges that include jail time, fines, and possible vehicle impoundment.

FPL asked the Public Service Commission to consider a rate hike that would add nearly $10B to revenue and cause electric bills to rise by about 20% over the next four years (raising Northwest customers' costs from $3.50 to $8.39 monthly and higher elsewhere).

The 10-day hearing on the request will begin Aug 11.

Volusia County schools will add ZeroEyes, an artificial intelligence system that uses existing cameras to scan for guns and alert law enforcement when a potential threat is detected.

The school system will spend about $50,000 per year on this technology to help keep students safe.

County council members approved Tuesday, August 5 the next phase for a 350-acre motocross park in Volusia County amid public opposition and environmental concerns.

Volusia County Council appointed 15 members to the Charter Review Commission to review and propose charter amendments for a 2026 vote.

The commission— which includes former sheriff Ben Johnson— will hold its first meeting at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 3 at the Daytona Beach International Airport.
