    Abigail StClair was juggling two big purchase decisions. The first was whether to order 150 kilos of seasonal teas from China — enough to last her business, TeBella Tea Co., until August. The second was related to a potential location in North Carolina, part of a major expansion for the Davis Islands-based company. But with shifting international trade policies and looming tariff costs, she didn’t know if the plan would fit her budget.

    Local leaders were brimming with optimism for the Clearwater Ferry in February. The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority had recently taken over the service, and already, more people were riding the ferry compared to before the pandemic. Two months later, a Palm Harbor man died and 10 more were injured after Jannus Live owner Jeff Knight’s boat crashed into the back of the ferry, tarnishing the service’s safety record.

    A state contractor hired to evaluate hurricane-damaged homes across Pinellas County made mistake after mistake in its assessment reports, muddling the rebuilding process for storm-ravaged residents. The Tidal Basin Group’s reports, used in cities from Gulfport to Madeira Beach, triggered thousands of letters sent to homeowners. Because their houses were determined “substantially damaged,” they would have to either tear down or rebuild to more stringent standards.
