My administration is cutting through red tape with FEMA by using satellite imagery to assess the damage so debris on commercial and private property can be cleared quickly.
By using this technology, FEMA will be able to make quicker determinations for program eligibility.

The NY Supreme Court struck down the COVID regime's vaccine mandates and ordered the reinstatement of unvaxxed employees with back pay.
In Florida, no one had to choose between a job and a jab – I'm glad it's finally like that in New York.

We kept schools open in 2020, and today’s NAEP results once again prove that we made the right decision.
In Florida, adjusted for demographics, 4th grade students are #1 in both Reading and Math.

In September, our unemployment rate decreased to 2.5%, a full point lower than the national unemployment rate — for 22 consecutive months Florida’s unemployment rate has been lower than the nation’s.
This is the second lowest in Florida’s history.

Those who lost so much shouldn’t have to worry about the taxman.

I am working with the Legislature to call a special session to provide permanent property tax relief for storm victims who lost their homes.
The session will also provide any necessary appropriations for SWFL as well as further reforms to the property insurance market.

Three weeks ago, Hurricane Ian destroyed the Sanibel Causeway in three places, leaving the island of Sanibel isolated.
Today, we have re-opened the causeway for our residents after completing temporary repairs more than a week ahead of schedule. Way to go!

For three weeks, first responders have been serving in response to Hurricane Ian.
In the midst of the storm many first responders didn’t receive their $1,000 bonuses and today I hand delivered their checks to show Florida’s commitment to the heroes that never stop serving.
