• https://infoweb-newsbank-com.lp.hscl.ufl.edu/apps/news/document-view?p=WORLDNEWS&t=pubname%3AMIHB%21Miami%2BHerald%252C%2BThe%2B%2528FL%2529/year%3A2018%212018/mody%3A0910%21September%2B10&f=advanced&action=browse&format=text&docref=news/16E5CDB0E74F52F0
• Cathy, a manager of the city commission, resigns after a long battle with the police department. The argument started when the police chief was seen in a tasteless photo, which was first met with contempt by the city. It was later found that the photo was not in violation of any codes. This shifted the cross-hairs over to Cathy Swanson-Riverbark and finally she resigned. 
• The problem was that Cathy attacked the police chief for something that didn't break any actual codes. 
• The Coral Gables police department and the people of Coral Gables have a problem with this attack by Cathy. 

2.  "2 Starbucks shops under construction in Gainesville"

• This story is simple in that it just talks about construction of new commercial areas in Gainesville. 2 Starbucks, a Wawa, and some high end residential buildings are being built. 
• The problem I found in the story is that an existing Starbucks will close when the 13th street Starbucks is finished. This has the potential to take jobs away from the workers of that Starbucks. If they cannot transfer the current staff to the new store then many will lose jobs. 
• The workers of the soon to be shutdown Starbucks. 

3. "City votes to give GPD raises"

• The city of Gainesville has voted in favor of raising the pay for the Police Department. The pay increase will be about 6% for sergeants, officers, and corporals. The plan will be fed through a step plan over the years from 2016-2019. This basically locks the raise in whenever the city can afford. 
• The problem is that the step-plan raises locks inthe raose wether the city can afford it or not. The city cannot afford the $2 million that would be required for a plat raise across the board. 
• The problem is mostly with the City commission. They need to find the money to pay its officers the raise increase they wanted and voted on.
