We also looked at the state legislature’s efforts to get sorely needed tourism workforce housing built in the Florida Keys (19:04). And we examined the case of Guatemalan migrant farmworker Virgilio Aguilar-Mendez, who community leaders insist was unjustly charged with a Florida police officer’s death (34:32).
