Then Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida's west coast, killing at least 74 people and inflicting tens of billions of dollars in property damage.
1. While @RonDeSantisFL was fighting the culture wars, banning CRT and shipping migrants to Martha's Vineyard, he failed to meaningfully address Florida's dysfunctional and collapsing property insurance market
And now things are going to get much
Then Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida's west coast, killing at least 74 people and inflicting tens of billions of dollars in property damage.
Floridians pay an average of "$4,231 a year per [property insurance] policy, compared to a US average of $1,544."

If Citizens runs out of money, Florida law "allows [Citizens] to assess non-customers to pay out claims."
A "hurricane tax."

The session resulted in lowering the threshold for the industry to access taxpayer-financed reinsurance by $2 billion.
This didn't meaningfully address the problem.
Advocates warned it was "an industry bail-out that won’t result in savings to consumers."

Despite the reinsurance fund, many insurers continued to apply for double-digit rate increases.

Follow the State Farm money.
Strengthening the public reinsurance fund was opposed by "large insurance companies that can buy reinsurance from their own subsidiaries."

On August 1, 2022, DeSantis collected "nearly 200 separate checks from insurance agents or their firms," totaling about $150,000.
The effort, according to Politico, was "coordinated by State Farm."

1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION
The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.
2. Officials from the Manatee County School District confirmed the new policy to https://t.co/Gl6evXRDcZ.
The policy was communicated to principals in a meeting last Wednesday.
Teachers are in the process of being informed now.
3. Teachers in Manatee County lamented the news on social media. "My heart is broken for Florida students today as I am forced to pack up my classroom library," one Manatee teacher wrote on Facebook.
4. Another Manatee teacher called the directive "a travesty to education" that interfered with efforts to "connect with books and develop [a] love of lifelong learning."
5. The new policy in Manatee, which is likely to be duplicated across Florida, was issued in response to HB 1467, which was signed into law by DeSantis last March.
That law established that teachers could not be trusted to select books appropriate for their students.
