"Between this and a $5 billion rate increase FPL won in 2021, the average FPL customer will wind up paying hundreds of dollars more each year for electricity than they were five years ago."

@jasongarcia.bsky.social does an excellent job explaining the latest and largest FPL rate hike.
Florida just approved the largest electric rate increase in history. Here's how it happened.
Florida Power & Light won permission last week to raise electricity rates by $7 billion over the next four years. Here's why it's so big, how FPL pulled it off, and who should be held accountable.

Not only that, she's from Manatee County, Florida
When Russ Vought dumped his first wife, he got her a job at the Heritage Foundation. Now he's remarried & she's a real winner!
NEW: It appears Russ Vought has recently married Michelle Martin of Citizens for Renewing America, who is anti "chem trail" and shares vaccine conspiracies.

Why is a board member of SCF telling people not to go to college? Doesn't he have a fiduciary responsibility? This certainly can't be helping SCF President Tommy Gregory, or our community which needs nurses, teachers, cybersecurity specialists, construction project managers etc that SCF produces....
