Mick's Morning News- Thursday

Judge Dismisses Suit Against Elected Broward County School Board Member

(Miami, FL)-- It may be up to the governor to decide if a man elected to the Broward County School Board can serve. Rod Velez was elected last month to represent District One, but he ran into legal challenges over his eligibility because he was convicted of a felony almost 30 years ago. A judge yesterday dismissed a lawsuit filed over Velez' eligibility, but his lawyer says Governor Ron DeSantis needs to grant Velez clemency before Velez can take his seat. DeSantis hasn't commented, but Velez is staying positive. He tells CBS4 it has been a little stressful, but he believes that, moving forward, things will be great.

Investigators don't believe he was serious, but Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly says threats like this are not a joke. The teen is charged with sending a written threat to conduct a mass shooting.

Father Confronts Apopka Mayor Over Son's Death

(Apopka, FL)-- A grieving Orange County man is demanding answers after his son's death while on the job. Michael Duran confronted Apopka Mayor Bryan Nelson yesterday during a press conference. Duran's son, Austin, was a firefighter who died in a workplace accident six months ago. Duran asked Nelson if a fire department safety committee was investigating Austin's death, but Mayor Nelson wouldn't give a direct answer. Two members of the safety committee quit this month. They cited resistance they were getting for looking into Austin's death. Duran tells WESH 2 News until we change the fire department's culture, this will happen again. 

Bear Injures Jacksonville Zoo Staffer

(Jacksonville, FL)-- A bear is dead after an incident at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens.
