What happened?

WINK reports Fort Myers leaders are bracing for a special legislative session that could reshape property taxes and disrupt major city projects. Mayor Kevin Anderson said the police headquarters project could be postponed or scrapped if property taxes disappear and replacement revenue is not approved. City leaders say the department has outgrown its current setup and is already short on public safety funding.
