Is the Economic Development Commission (EDC) of the Space Coast now a Political organization? The Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast is an innovative, countywide, not-for-profit partnership between the Brevard County Commission and the Space Coast business community.

Interesting how President and CEO Lynda Weatherman was making phone calls to EDC members 1-2 days before the end of the October reporting period soliciting campaign contributions for County Commission Chair Kristine Isnardi who voted to support her EDC budget last year.

Also, coincidentally EDC past and current Board members all gave exactly $100 after they were asked to by Lynda Weatherman because Kristine is “good to the EDC and has not done anything to hurt the EDC.”

EDC Board members such as EDC Chair Joe Mayer, Todd Pokrwya of Viera Company, Neal Johnson, previous EDC Chairs of the board Dana Kilbourne Deborah Goode, and Julie Song all happened to donate $100 on the last day of reporting to boost numbers for Isnardi’s weak kickoff month for D5 County Commission.

Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult.

The Starbucks inside Melbourne Square Mall is now closed, with its signage wrapped in black plastic, its windows covered in paper, and a letter from the company taped to the front window.In the letter addressed to customers, Starbucks said it made "the very difficult decision" this week to close the location. The company thanked customers for the memories and community built at the store and said it is working closely to support its employees, known as partners, through the transition. Customers are directed to nearby Starbucks locations through the company's app.The letter does not give a reason for the closure.The store had been open for nearly 20 years. Brian Cavins, the location's first manager, marked the closing in a Facebook post, calling it "a bittersweet day." Cavins said he was there when the space was cleared out as a Barnie's Coffee & Tea, then returned a few months later to open it as a Starbucks. It was his first store as a manager and the first team he built.According to Cavins, employees are transitioning to new home stores. He spent part of the final day of operations with the staff, noting it felt fitting to be there on both the first day and the last."Thank you for 20+ years of my life, and for all of the amazing customers and partners who were part of the journey along the way," Cavins wrote.#Starbucks #MelbourneFL #SpaceCoast ...
