Did You Miss the Debates?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was only a debate between the two gubernatorial candidates: Becks Lawson\/Maxine Finch and Damien Key\/Gracie McCoy. There were no debates for the state representatives because all five of them are automatically elected. Weazel News was at the Vinewood Bowl to broadcast the debate<\/a> for those of you who couldn\u2019t attend in person. I heard it was slightly spicy, but I\u2019d have to watch it to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dive into the New Fun\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a new activity available for those who like to scavenge for things. This time, it\u2019s underwater. I went diving recently, and it was interesting. Since it\u2019s a newer activity with much excitement, you might find a tiny bit of a crowd with boats and divers out in the water. As noted in the map posted on Y, make sure you go out there with at least a buddy. When I went, it was with Harlowe Greene from Tortuga Marine Conservation, and I felt relatively safe. Perhaps it would be a good idea to reach out to her or the rangers since they\u2019re well experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n

PolitiPoll Results are Here!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last week<\/a>, I shared that the PolitiPoll had just closed after being open for a couple of days. Well, the PolitiPoll results<\/a> are here now. I\u2019ve missed Harry Kennedy and his PolitiPolls. I\u2019ve always enjoyed looking at the stats and understanding what the data means because I wouldn\u2019t be able to figure any of the numbers out on my own. I\u2019m honestly surprised at the governor results because I feel like they don\u2019t align with what I\u2019ve been seeing posted on Y. There\u2019s been like little to no talk about the state representative candidates because, again, they\u2019re all getting sworn in regardless of the public\u2019s opinion. We\u2019ll find out soon enough how the real results compare to the PolitiPoll results. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n\n\n

Also, someone commented on the previous Scoops saying they were confused because they didn\u2019t know where the PolitiPolls were posted. I\u2019m here to tell you that a new one<\/a> just dropped, and it\u2019s only open for a limited amount of time if you want to fill it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLoading\u2026\n\n\n\n

Fight Out the Beef\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Southside Community Centre and Street Beefs teamed up yesterday night for Fight Night. The event was sponsored by Hourglass Publishing and catered by Bishop\u2019s. My coworker and friend, Rhylee Finke, was down at the event since I couldn\u2019t make it. She found the whole fight confusing because she didn\u2019t understand how people were paired up. Overall, some guy named Dallas won. I\u2019m not sure how the $50,000 cash prize was awarded amongst the fighters, like first, second, third, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n

Thoughts on Gentrification\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kate the Collector shared her opinion<\/a> in the latest published opinion piece here at Weazel News. It covers the recently filled-up canal system in the Southside. I actually can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been two months since the canals got wet; I only know that because I wrote about it in volume 43<\/a>. Anyway, it\u2019s an interesting read, and it\u2019s always good to learn about another person\u2019s perspective because you might\u2019ve not considered it before.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Stella\u2019s Recommendation of the Week\u2026<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019m not sure what else you\u2019d expect me to recommend when the voting period is starting tomorrow. The ballots will be available at City Hall starting on Monday, January 8th at 8pm EST and ending on Friday, January 12th at 8pm EST. Vote early, vote late, but vote between the stated dates and times. If you miss out, you miss out. You won\u2019t get your sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n
