Capitol Update is a weekly review of state government.  Topics this week include:

  • Teachers’ unions and the state squared off in a virtual courtroom over the state’s mandate that all schools reopen by August 31.
  • Florida deaths from COVID-19 passed the 10,000 mark, but other case indicators were trending down.
  • The Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services assured Floridians that there’s no evidence any giant “murder hornets” have reached Florida.
