A News 6 reporter asked Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier about the growing Hope Florida controversy. His response? Pull up a criminal statute and ask whether the reporter was trying to solicit a crime.
Matt Austin and Lisa Bell break down the unusual confrontation, the First Amendment questions it raises and what the grand jury report actually says about the $10 million.
Plus, Orange County Public Schools has lost more than 7,600 students this year — far more than the roughly 3,000-student decline district leaders had anticipated. OCPS says declining birth rates, school vouchers and housing trends are among the factors contributing to the decline. The dramatic enrollment drop is also raising questions about staffing, budgets and whether additional schools could eventually close.
Also, disturbing home surveillance video captures an AC repair worker kicking a family's 12-year-old Chihuahua, knocking the tiny dog unconscious. The worker is no longer employed by the company.
And we lighten things up with the return of Halloween Horror Nights and EPCOT's International Food & Wine Festival — including some insider discussion about one of the best times of the entire year to visit Walt Disney World if you want to avoid the crowds.
It's all on News 6 Tonight.
