Tampa home insurance company hit with fine

A Tampa insurance company has been hit with a $1 million fine.

Heritage Insurance Company is getting punished for how the state says it treated policyholders after Hurricane Ian.

According to our partners at the Tampa Bay Times, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation found Heritage Insurance was slow to respond to claims, slow to pay claims, used improperly licensed adjusters, and kept poor records.

The company has agreed to pay the fine.

Florida House Speaker Paul Renner praised the decision in a post on X.

“When we passed the most significant property insurance reforms in state history, we committed to stabilizing the market and holding insurers accountable when necessary,” he said.

He applauded the Office of Insurance Regulation, who handed down the fine.

Rep. Cory Mills files article of impeachment against President Joe Biden

Florida Rep. Cory Mills has filed an article of impeachment against President Joe Biden. The first-term Republican claims that the president is abusing his power by threatening to withhold certain weapons from Israel if they attack the city of Rafah in Gaza. Mills spoke on Fox News about why he says the president should be impeached.

“He utilized and pulled the wool over our eyes. He released aid to go into Gaza, which fell into the hands of Hamas. He withholds aid to Israel in its ability for defense and to take out Hamas from their radical extremism that’s going on, and a day prior to this, Martha, a day prior, he signs a waiver to bypass sanctions to send weapons to Lebanon and to send it to Qatar, two of the most anti-Israeli nations,” Mills said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the Biden threat by saying: “If Israel needs to stand alone, it will stand alone.”

As for the impeachment article, the house is scheduled to be back in session Tuesday afternoon.

Poll reveals voter's thoughts on abortion and marijuana amendments

A new poll released by the Florida Chamber of Commerce shows that support for Amendment 3, which would legalize recreational marijuana in the state, is strong at 58% — but that is just shy of the 60% threshold needed for it to pass in November.

That is different from the internal polling done by Trulieve, the company that backed Amendment 3.

Amendment 3 is just one of the things on the November ballot that the poll covered.

It also found that former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden in the sunshine state by 9%.

And Sen. Rick Scott is up 15 percentage points over challenger Debbie Mucasarsel Powell.

The chamber poll also looked at Amendment 4, which would enshrine abortion rights into the Florida Constitution. The poll shows the amendment passing if the vote took place today, but just barely above the minimum required to pass with 61% support.
