At a Winter Springs commission meeting, city leaders rejected a push to explore eliminating the city’s police department. Commissioner Diaz asked staff for a cost comparison, and Diaz had earlier pointed out that spending on police and parks totals $13.5 million, roughly half the city’s budget, according to ClickOrlando. Now here is Chloe with the forecast. 82 for a high, 71 overnight, sunny. Northeast wind 15 to 20 miles per hour, gusts up to 35, with less than a tenth of an inch possible. Sunglasses and a light windbreaker — now let us check in with Devon. OSC After Dark at Orlando Science Center starts Saturday, October 31 at 8 o'clock in the evening. Adults-only Halloween fundraiser hosted by Young Professionals for OSC features DinoDigs and a costume contest.
