COPS
Lee County Sheriff

It's news like this that makes me want to get out and see if I can't get myself on tv! COPS is back in Lee County! They're working with the Sheriff's office. We're not sure exactly which area of town they're filming in, but I'm sure those of us who live in Lee County have some ideas.

I love it when COPS films here locally. Those episodes are the best because as they arrest the belligerent shirtless drunk guy we're always trying to see where they are by the buildings in the background. And of course, if we know the guy. The last time COPS was here it looked like everyone they pulled over was high. And for Fort Myers, that's probably pretty accurate. Here's how to watch the April episode of COPS.

If anyone knows where they are filming COPS in Lee County , please let us know.

Remember that show "My Name Is Earl" with the 'Our Episode Of Cops Is On!'?

Florida  sales tax holidays? Here’s the list. Everybody loves saving a little money, right?
If you reside in Florida, get ready to mark your calendar. Especially for October.

Governor Ron DeSantis revealed there will be nine sales tax holidays/exemption periods that will occur over the next several months.

When you check out the list, you may notice one of the newest holidays is all about “Tool Time.” Makes me think of Tim Allen’s hit TV series. During this holiday, you can receive tax breaks on common retail tools. This is for people who use tools for work.

If you have little children, you’ll love this one: From July 1 through June 30, 2023, no tax is required on children’s diapers, baby and toddler clothing, apparel and shoes (for children 5 and younger). Stock up!

And how bad would we all love a break from paying taxes on motor fuel? This exemption holiday is for the month of October, prior to the mid-terms. I'd like to think they made it October to celebrate my birth month.  And Halloween. This will make that drive to Orlando a LOT cheaper.

You can see the complete list of the nine Florida Sales Tax Holidays below.

May 14 - August 14 — Children's books

May 28 - June 10 — Disaster preparedness

July 1-7 — Freedom Week

July 1 - June 30, 2023 — Diapers and clothing

July 1 - June 30, 2023 — Energy Star appliances

July 1 - June 30, 2024 — Home Gardening

July 25 - August 7 — Back to School

September 3 - 9 — Tool time

October 1 - 31 — Motor fuel
