Milton recovery efforts in Wellington face a major hurdle: lack of disaster equipment
In Wellington, Florida, recovery efforts are underway following the devastation caused by tornadoes spawned by Hurricane Milton. The tornadoes damaged nearly 150 homes, leaving many residents displaced. Wellington faces challenges due to a lack of disaster recovery equipment, as they compete with other areas for resources.

With Amendment 3, will Florida follow other states in 'righting wrongs' of past drug policy?
Amendment 3 in Florida proposes the legalization of recreational marijuana, potentially generating significant tax revenue and addressing past racial injustices in drug policy. Advocates push for social equity programs similar to those in other states, aiming to expunge records and support minority-owned cannabis businesses. However, the Republican-led state government, including Governor Ron DeSantis, opposes such measures, labeling them as 'woke.' The amendment faces challenges, including high licensing costs and vertical integration requirements, which critics argue hinder small businesses. Major cannabis companies like Trulieve support the amendment, while opponents fear market monopolization.
Independent and Indispensable
More than three months after a cyberattack on the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, contractors remain unable to access the network. Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed a bill to build housing for farmworkers, citing concerns about illegal foreign workers, and signed a bill that could increase interest rates on consumer-finance loans. Trulieve contributed $1 million to support a constitutional amendment for recreational marijuana use. A federal judge ruled that Escambia County School Board members must testify about a book removal. State tax collections in May exceeded expectations by 4.2 percent. Citizens Property Insurance Corp. purchased $3.564 billion in reinsurance coverage for hurricane season. The Florida Supreme Court will release final opinions before a summer break.
