The conversation then shifts to a potential Senate District redistricting plan, analyzing how it could reshape representation for Hernando and the broader DeSoto County area. The hosts discuss the political and logistical implications of redistricting and how it might affect local governance.
For the bulk of the episode, Ben and Chad dive into a major topic of potential school choice legislation. They explore how this legislation could impact DeSoto County Schools, with a particular focus on the new Hernando High School.
