THE PALM BEACH POST
People protest outside the Palm Beach County Department of Health to demand action on health impacts from sugarcane field burning in the Glades. About 30 people participated in West Palm Beach, Florida on November 1, 2023.

We also examined affluent Coral Gables’ renewed effort to annex the low-income Little Gables neighborhood – where many residents fear they’ll just be booted out.

And we discussed the latest dispute over a sunken ship – this one containing an estimated $20 billion, found off Colombia’s coast.
