📰 News we're reading
• Titusville finds ‘missing' tax dollars months after city-wide audit digs into alleged mismanagement (fox35orlando.com) — Titusville officials now say nearly $1 million in previously “missing” city equipment was mostly accounted for through old auction records and paperwork, easing fears of widespread theft. Still, some residents remain unconvinced and are pushing for an independent forensic audit, while the mayor favors improving internal controls and communication over launching an expensive outside investigation. 
• Arrests in Brevard County: May 11, 2026 – Suspects Presumed Innocent Until Proven Guilty (thespacecoastrocket.com) — Brevard County released a new batch of arrest records from May 11, including several cases involving Titusville residents and arrests made by the Titusville Police Department. The list details charges ranging from aggravated assault to evidence tampering, with all individuals presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
• Indian River Lagoon seagrass is growing back (floridatoday.com) — Seagrass in the Indian River Lagoon near Titusville has more than doubled in acreage over the past four years, signaling a hopeful ecological rebound. Scientists still warn the lagoon remains far below its 2009 peak and vulnerable to future algae blooms and extreme cold, but ongoing restoration work and recent data suggest a cautiously optimistic trend for this vital local waterway.

- Was talking with someone going through a home purchase and the appraisal came back low.
It kind of threw them for a loop. Seems like something more people should know about going in, the bank does not lend based on what you agreed to… (Nextdoor Fox Lake Manor) - I would like to give a shout-out to the following companies who recently completed projects for me: The Midnight Gardener (Josh and Nicole), Housman’s Aluminum and Screening, and Tree Service Express.
All three of these companies set up estimate dates and kept them and all arrived when scheduled to do the work. I couldn’t be happier with the work… (Nextdoor Ravenswood)
