📰 News we're reading

• Dunedin commission to let Freebee shuttle contract expire (tbnweekly.com) — Dunedin commissioners have decided to let the Freebee shuttle contract expire at the end of this month, citing cost, limited impact, and lack of business support. Officials praised the service’s concept but said they can’t justify spending $250,000 in General Fund money without grants, marketing, or clear benefits for residents beyond the downtown core.
