1+ min ago (328+ words) A record 113 children have drowned in Florida so far this year, with most victims under 5 years old and most incidents occurring in residential pools. Now, state lawmakers are pushing to close what they call a costly loophole in current safety regulations. Florida law requires pool owners to implement one of several safety measures: fencing around the pool, enclosing it with a screened porch, covering the pool, installing a sensor that activates when someone enters the water, or having an alarm that sounds when doors to the pool area open. However, these safety requirements don't apply to pools built before 2000, creating what advocates say is a dangerous gap in protection. State Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, a Democrat from Orange County, is working to update the law to address this issue. "Florida's tragic distinction as America's leader in child drowning is a…...

3+ min ago (507+ words) With one councilmember absent from the Dec. 3 Summit County Council meeting, the four others couldn't come to a consensus on Basin Recreation's 2026 budget. That's because the district is asking for a 15% property tax increase this year. Rather than leave Basin Rec without a budget in a failed 22 vote, the council rescheduled for Dec. 10. Councilmember Chris Robinson could've joined the meeting remotely to break the tie, but Chair Tonja Hanson thought he should be able to hear the lengthy public comment first. "That's why I think we need to continue the meeting, so he can watch the video " hear the public comment before he votes on it," Hanson said. Most residents who spoke at the public hearing opposed the tax increase, saying they're weary of paying more each year to various government entities and districts. "You guys are just bad timing,…...

7+ min ago (520+ words) Fox News co-hosts Greg Gutfeld and Gillian Turner got into an argument during Friday night's episode of The Five over the FIFA Peace Prize awarded to President Donald Trump in a ceremony earlier in the day. While discussing the prize, which was awarded to Trump by FIFA President Gianni Infantino in a ceremony at the Kennedy Center, Gutfeld said, "I also love that the peace prize from FIFA, it didn't go to like Greta Thunberg or some silly little peace activist." This prompted Turner to reply, "Because it was created for the president," which kicked off a spirited back-and-forth in which Gutfeld asked Turner, "What's your beef with this? What's your problem?" "I'm saying there were no other candidates," Turner responded. "It wasn't like Trump beat out other people for the prize." "So?" Gutfeld replied. "What's your point? Do you…...
