This week on The Florida Roundup, a previously unpublished study from 2022 found affiliates of Florida insurance companies paid out $680 million dollars to investors between 2017 and 2019 while claiming to be running out of money and filing for big rate increases for policyholders. We spoke with the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times’ investigative reporter Lawrence Mower who brought the study to light (00:08). Plus, we hear about the growing debate over whether or not to adding fluoride to public water supplies with Melbourne Mayor Paul Alfrey (20:45) and later Dr. Johnny Johnson, a former pediatric dentist and President of the American Fluoridation Society (33:45). And we also bring you the news of the week from Florida’s own DOGE efforts (39:40) and the start of turtle nesting season (47:24).
