## Resource

This week on The Florida Roundup, we were joined by former NFL head coach Tony Dungy to talk about the state’s challenge to the league’s ‘Rooney Rule’ (01:10). Then, we spoke about the corrosion of trust among neighbors and how we can better foster community with author Maxwell King (21:00). Plus, WUSF’s Douglas Soule joins us to talk about a new state law that prohibits local governments from banning gas-powered leaf blowers (32:36). And later, we hear from one Florida family that is closely watching the Supreme Court’s hearing on birthright citizenship (37:30) and look at the Artemis II launch (43:00).
