Decision

Published: Aug. 27, 2021, 4:15 a.m.

Judge John Cooper is set to announce his decision on the lawsuit over the Governor’s ban on mask mandates. On the one side you have parents who support a mask mandate: on the other side, the Governor and the state education bureaucracy.

Also on today’s Sunrise:

— No matter how the judge rules, an appeal is certain. Gov. Ron DeSantis really wants to punish the local officials who have imposed mask mandates against his order.

؅ — Attorney General Ashley Moody announces a settlement with the Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence — about $5 million.

— And finally, two Florida Person stories. One is a Florida Man who fell asleep at Wendy's drive-thru; the other is a Florida Woman who scammed her co-workers out of their sick time for numerous medical maladies — all of them fake.
