📰 News we're reading
• DeSantis signs death warrant for Broward killer of 18-year-old woman (orlandosentinel.com) — A man on Florida’s death row has been scheduled for execution in July for a 1982 Broward murder, and court records note he was already on probation for a 1980 rape in Oakland Park. The case, nearly four decades old, is moving forward after years of appeals, underscoring how long serious violent crimes can echo through local communities. 
• White House warns over 500 hospitals to provide more price information or face fines (wusf.org) — Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center in Oakland Park is among 21 Florida hospitals warned by federal officials to post clearer price information or risk hefty fines. The move is part of a nationwide push for hospital price transparency, which supporters say could eventually help patients and employers better compare costs, even though experts warn the data can still be confusing.

- Did anyone just see that jet that flew out of the executive airport just now?
It looked like a 727 747. Whatever it was a jet and all that fuel soot is going down on us. Are we concerned? (Nextdoor Oakland Park North) - Does anyone know a good local sprinkler system service?
My system isn’t providing full coverage, and I’m looking for someone nearby who can help fix it. (Nextdoor Oakland Park North)
