Hostile doesn’t begin to describe the treatment of arts organizations under the Trump and DeSantis administrations. Groups from Key West to Pensacola are in another year of drastic funding cuts. To help keep South Florida arts afloat, Our Fund awarded $400,000 in grants to 19 groups.

When the city of Oakland Park agreed to sell the now-former city hall and other properties to build the Horizon project in 2022, many if not most assumed it would be close to finished by now. Four years later, the city still owns the properties and the buildings still stand. At the city commission meeting on Oct. 7, another change was made to the agreement.

The new budget year is underway and Oakland Park has big dreams and a budget to match. City Commissioners passed the annual budget, which took effect Oct. 1. Running the city will cost $180.6 million this year, up from $173 million last year.
