📰 News we're reading
• Lynn Haven braces for budget cuts across all departments (wjhg.com) — Lynn Haven leaders are finalizing the 2027 budget, proposing a 4.35 millage rate, cutting 21 vacant or soon‑vacant positions, and trimming capital projects and travel to avoid deeper service reductions. Commissioners will vote Sept. 8 on CRA cuts and the tax rate, while also weighing staff pay, the future of the animal shelter, and potential revenue losses if Amendment Three passes.
• Bay County law enforcement agencies cut ties with Flock Safety cameras (newsherald.com) — Bay County law enforcement agencies have suspended their use of Flock Safety license plate reader cameras, and as of Sept. 1, Lynn Haven Police have not announced any change to their own use. Local residents are caught in a broader statewide debate over privacy, data retention, and public safety tools, as officials await clearer rules from the Florida Legislature and FDOT's removal of cameras from state roads continues.
