An inauguration ceremony for the 2024 Lee Board of County Commissioner is set for Tuesday morning, Nov. 19.

The new board will be installed in person at 8:30 a.m. at the commission chambers of the Old Lee County Courthouse, 2120 Main St., Fort Myers. Two seats on the Lee County Board of Commissioners were contested in the general election. David Mulicka secured the District 3 seat by defeating write-in candidate Jake Cataldo, while incumbent Mike Greenwell successfully defended his District 5 seat against Democratic challenger Kizzie Fowler. The remaining three seats are filled by Kevin Ruane for District 1, Cecil Pendergrass in District 2 and Brian Hamman in District 4.

A reception will follow at 9 a.m. A regularly scheduled board meeting will start at 9:30 a.m. with the commissioners selecting their new chair and vice chair for the coming year.

This event will be streamed on Facebook Live. Visit https://www.facebook.com/leecountyflbocc.

    As the federal government intensifies its immigration crackdown, the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has emerged as one of the Suncoast’s most active partners with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In recent months, Sheriff Kurt Hoffman’s deputies have patrolled the Everglades immigration jail known as “Alligator Alcatraz” and shuttled immigrants between detention facilities in Florida, earning more than $280,000 in state funding for the work. Meanwhile, the number of ICE detainers — which keep people up to 48 hours past their release date for possible detention and deportation — have quadrupled this past year inside the already crowded county jail.

Things go wrong, but the show must go on, sometimes forcing the cast and crew to make it up on the fly. That’s the crux of “The Play That Goes Wrong,” onstage in Red Knight Theatre at North Fort Myers High School this weekend.
