Florida will receive 554,370 doses of the COVID-19 vaccines from the federal government this week, a significant drop from the previous week as production issues all but halt shipments of Johnson & Johnson doses.
California surpassed Florida in a new estimate of orange production, the latest sign of continuing struggles in Florida’s citrus industry.
An influx of rainy weather has added millions of gallons of water to the leaky pond at the Piney Point industrial site in Manatee County that last week threatened the surrounding area with potential flooding and contamination.
Its request comes during one of the most high-stakes years for rate hikes in a decade.
