BROOKSVILLE – Since R News broke the story of a cyberattack on Hernando County Government's IT Network, officials say they are still not fully back online, but that most systems are working properly. One of those systems that caused the most disruption is the Property Appraiser's Office. When the system went down, nearly all real estate transactions came to a screeching halt. But it's what employees of the office were allegedly ordered to do while working from home that could...
SPRING HILL – One of the school crossing guards severely injured by a hit and run driver earlier year is back on the job, according to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office. Officials say School Crossing Guard Nicholas Gallicchio made a full recovery after being struck by 55-year-old Robert Noack at the intersection of Northcliffe Blvd and Deltona Blvd on February 14th. A second crossing guard is still recovering from their injuries. Gallicchio will return to his same post a...
As of today, Thursday, August 8, my Hernando County Republican Party Leadership has refused to condemn the use of "AI generated images" created to lie to voters about Republican County Commission Candidate Marvin Baynham. I genuinely believed they'd condemn it. After all, Republicans earnestly believe in election integrity and the attack on Marvin was reprehensible. How easy is it to say you had nothing to do with it and you don't support it? But not only have my party...
CITRUS – A Citrus Hills man has been found guilty of Attempted Murder after shooting at three teenagers who were riding an All-terrain vehicle (ATV) near his property. On April 22, 2023, then-65-year-old Michael Regalski was working outside his garage when he became angry over a group of teenagers riding an ATV near his home. That's when officials say he pulled out a 40-caliber Glock semi-automatic handgun and began firing at the teens, striking one juvenile in the abdomen. T...

Officials say while 47-year-old Michael Ronald Iannaccone was working as a teacher at Deltona Elementary, he would communicate with the victim and discuss various sex acts. Detectives say Iannaccone was often in the classroom while communicating with the child. On A...
WEEKI WACHEE – Candidate for Hernando Board of County Commissioners Marvin Baynham expected a fierce battle against the incumbent for the District 3 seat John Allocco, but he didn't expect to have detectives sent to his doorstep just two weeks before election day. Yesterday, R News reported that Baynham, a Republican, had been attacked by members of his own party over claims that he signed a petition supporting late-term abortions. Baynham says the claims are not true and t...
HERNANDO – Widespread flooding, and downed trees and power lines plagued residents throughout the county last night, and now it's time to begin the cleanup. Residents along Hernando Beach and the Weeki Wachee River saw the worst flooding around high tide in the early morning hours. There are unconfirmed reports that multiple residences were flooded along the river, but there is no firm assessment on how extensive at this time. The owners of Lei Lo Tiki Hut Restaurant on C...
HERNANDO – Since President Donald Trump took office in 2016, he's endured multiple impeachments, arrests, prosecutions - persecutions - and even an assassination attempt on his life, all in an effort to prevent him from returning to the White House in 2025. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that the efforts have been methodically planned and carried out by the Progressive Left and the Biden Administration. Now I'm not saying the assassination attempt was part of a...
