From 3% Caps to $950 Valentine ‘Arrests’: The Wildest Politics‑And‑Love Story of 2024

When a tiny 3 % tax cap turns into a municipal showdown, and a $950 ‘arrest‑in‑front‑of‑your‑wife’ becomes the most bizarre Valentine’s gift ever, reality is finally outdoing fiction.

We’re kicking off another wild Wednesday on 100.3 K‑Rock, where Schuyler Black and Bobby Dewrell serve up a hefty blend of local weather, community headlines, off‑the‑wall commentary, and a splash of classic‑rock nostalgia.

What’s on the forecast?
From a chilly, overcast start—59 °F with a chance of thunderstorms—to a bright, sunny weekend that tops out in the upper‑60s, we’ll give you the full low‑down so you can plan that parade, Super Bowl party, or beach day without a surprise rain‑check.

Community spotlight:

• A brand‑new joint marine vessel for the Walton Beach Police and Fire Departments is about to roll out, with a public viewing at the Jackson Boat Ramp.
• Mayor‑level drama is heating up over the 3 % charter‑amendment cap—Ben Merrill of Soundside breaks it down in a Facebook post that even the financially challenged can follow.
• A deep‑dive into a recent study on U.S. political polarization—why the left surged in 2008 while the right held steady, and how social media, the Great Recession, and emotion‑driven algorithms got us here.

Ask Uncle Bobby:
Got a boundary‑burnout dilemma? Bobby’s back with his signature “intermittent boundaries” advice—think fasting, but for people. Expect a few laughs, a few gasps, and a fresh perspective on saying “no” without guilt.

Local events & oddball stories:

• The PAWS soup‑cook‑off fundraiser at Mid‑South Bank on Friday—taste, vote, and help rescued pets.
• A quick recap of the pizza‑shop heist, a Wild West time‑capsule beer discovery, and even a grandma who ski‑sleds down a hill in a recliner for fun.
• Plus, the newest “Valentine’s‑day‑arrest” gag‑package (yes, you read that right) for the daring.

Music & sponsors:
From Tom Petty’s “I Need to Know” to classic rock riffs that keep the morning rolling, we’re backed by Outkast Sushi, Okaloosa Gas, Stripes Pub & Grill, and Tomcat Custom Apparel (rain‑gear for those wet mornings).

So stay tuned, grab a coffee, and let the B‑Team guide you through weather, wheeling‑dealing, wry wisdom, and a whole lot of rock‑n‑roll banter. This is the B‑Team Morning Show—your alternative to ordinary mornings on the Emerald Coast. 🎸☔️🏖️
