Hurricane Milton is charging its way across the Gulf Coast with Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, in its sights.

With an impending landfall this week, Hurricane Milton poses an 'extremely serious' threat to Florida, so residents are urged to follow the orders of local officials.

The case before the Supreme Judicial Court looks at the legal obligations towns have and the enforcement actions the state has at its disposal under the MBTA Communities Act, stemming from the attorney general's push to force Milton to comply with the zoning law.

Attorney General Andrea Campbell said Monday that the zoning law her staff is poised to defend before the state’s highest court is crucial to battling the region’s housing crisis.
