I’m returning to Bluesky after being nudged by this short article in the new April/May 2025 issue of #AARP Magazine.

Bluesky readers should admire the \of Lucy Morgan, who died this week at age 82 after five decades exposing Florida public corruption on a grand scale. She was the longtime Tallahassee correspondent for The Tampa Bay Times.

Every state needs a Lucy Morgan in its capitol press corps.
