Florida's Department of Environmental Protection revealed plans to build golf courses, pickleball courts and lodges on some state parks- and people aren't happy about it. Now the group backing the golf course proposal has pulled out. The uproar over the development proposal shows just how strongly Floridians feel about their state parks. Coming up, you’ll hear what makes these wild places so special, and why people want to protect them. You'll meet Wilma Norton and Peter Couture, a St. Petersburg couple on a mission to visit all 175 state parks. And, what the primary election revealed about voter turnout and what it means for your ballot in November. You'll hear from WUSF's Kerry Sheridan and Steve Newborn as they discuss highlights from the election, school board politics and more.
