Scam calls pretending to be the power company — heads up Dade City
Got a call threatening to shut off power in 30 min unless I paid with gift cards. It's a scam — they'll never demand gift cards. Hang up.

Pasco High vs busing kids out to Cypress Creek — thoughts?
We're zoned for Pasco High but a few neighbors send theirs out toward the Wesley Chapel schools. For those who've done it, is the drive worth it or is Pasco High better than its reputation?

US-301 through downtown — any real timeline on the widening?
Feels like they've been talking about the 301 work through town for years. With trucks backed up past Meridian half the day it's hurting the downtown shops. Has anyone seen an actual schedule?
