Stunning referendum outcome in Gainesville, on hour 2 of the Wednesday Bob Rose Show. Voters overwhelmingly want Gainesville Regional Utilities back in control of the City Commission. GRU's history of financial mismanagement, what the vote means, and what challenges remain. Plus, the morning's breaking stories for 11-5-25

Host Dave Fiore speaks with Mark Mustian, attorney, author and founder of the Word of South Festival of Literature and Music. Mark grew up in Tallahassee, learned discipline in the Leon High School band and was elected student body president. At the beginning of his career, Mark said he had three life goals: be an attorney, teach and write a book. While he would eventually accomplish all three, he also would serve 10 years on the City Commission, get appointed as Tallahassee Chamber Board Chair and be instrumental in the creation of Cascades Park, turning a decades-long eyesore into a community treasure. Mark recently published his third book, receiving great reviews and literary awards. But it is the impact of Word of South for which he is perhaps best known locally. Now more than 10 years old, the festival attracts national attention and talent, held appropriately in the park he helped make a reality. Mark is already working on his next novel but wanted to keep the details under wraps – at least for now.
