Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup Celebration Sparks Debate and Damage

Last year, the city covered part of the security costs after the team initially asked for a waiver of nearly $400,000, which the city declined. The team paid its share after delays, and this year, the city and team are still negotiating the costs, with some residents and officials debating whether taxpayers should fund the parade or if the team should cover its expenses.

Cori Bush over the alleged misuse of campaign funds for her personal security, which she denies, stating that she has used campaign funds as permissible for security services and not federal tax dollars.
