📰 News we're reading
• St. Augustine Beach Police cancels teen takeover planned for Thursday (firstcoastnews.com) — Police have canceled a planned teen takeover at St. Augustine Beach and will deploy a substantial law enforcement presence around the pier Thursday afternoon to deter any unlawful gathering. Officers stress that visitors are welcome but warn that disturbances or criminal activity will bring immediate enforcement, a stance influenced by a recent shooting at a similar teen event in Clearwater Beach. 
• Lobbyist fears property tax plan could ‘defund police' if passed in November (news4jax.com) — A statewide plan to slash property taxes could significantly affect how St. Augustine Beach funds core services, with the city manager noting nearly half the budget comes from those revenues. Local and regional law enforcement leaders warn that, despite promises to protect police funding, cities may eventually resort to new fees for policing, roads, and fire protection if the amendment passes in November.
