Milton City Manager Randy Jorgenson on Thursday said the city “welcomes an audit of our operations at any time for any real or perceived purpose.” Navarre Press learned earlier in the day that Florida Sen. Doug Broxson, R-Gulf Breeze, had asked the Joint Legislative Auditing Committee to audit the city and its utilities because of concerns about increasing costs to build a new wastewater treatment plant.

The 2023 legislative session in Tallahassee began March 7.
With bills and joint resolutions making their way through the state House and Senate, State Rep. Dr. Joel Rudman (R- Navarre) spoke with Navarre Press on his first go round as a representative, how his bills are doing and what people can expect from the rest of this year’s session.

After waiting six months, the autopsy for Cassie Carli is done. Although the autopsy results have yet to be released, Saint Clair County (Ala.) coroner Dennis Russell told Navarre Press the cause of death and manner of death was “undetermined.”

On Mar. 27, Cassie Carli vanished from the Juana’s boat ramp parking lot following a custody exchange with Marcus Spanevelo, the father of her four year old daughter. After a week of searching and investigating, Carli’s body was found in a shallow grave in Saint Clair County, a county about 40 minutes outside of Birmingham.
