## Resource

This week on The Florida Roundup, a second-generation gas station owner in Florida who is navigating the price hikes (00:00). Then, U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor joined us for updates on the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran and partial government shutdown (06:26). Plus, WUSF’s Kerry Sheridan and Dr. Shalika Katugaha with Baptist Health joined us to discuss a rise in measles cases in the state and pushback against a bill that would’ve made it easier to opt out of common vaccines (20:30). Then, ‘Your Florida’ state government reporter Douglas Soule gave us a wrap-up of the legislative session and a look ahead (33:50). And later, we looked at a few bills that will be heading to the Governor’s desk (37:32), met a man who is foraging all his meals in Florida (41:00), and shared some listeners’ notes from our mailbag (45:40).
