Five things: Suspended Administrators, Controversial Developments and Powerball!

Here are five things we thought you might like to know about today.

LONG BAR POINTE DEVELOPMENT

Today at 1:30 p.m., the public will get a chance to comment on the Long Bar Pointe development plan that some believe will negatively impact the Cortez fishing industry.

ADMINISTRATORS SUSPENDED


Two Manatee school district administrators have been suspended, pending the outcome of an investigation into allegations of misconduct by former assistant football coach Rod Frazier.

POWERBALL FEVER


Got your Powerball tickets? The payoff is up to $400 million for Wednesday night's drawing! Granted, it's not as big as June's record $590 million prize, but you could probably still live comfortably, right? Find nearby locations selling tickets on the Florida Lottery website

HOW ABOUT THOSE RAYS?

Entering Monday's off day, the Tampa Bay Rays were 66-45 and just a game behind the hated Boston Red Sox for first place in the American League East. The Rays return to action with a road trip that opens Tuesday night at 9:40 p.m. against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 

YOU MIGHT GET WET

It's looking like a wet Tuesday in Tampa Bay, with a possibility of scattered showers, thunderstorms and gusty winds, according to the National Weather Service. As always this time of year, you'll want to have your umbrella with you just in case.
