Part 1:
We talk with Anders Croy, Communications Director for Florida Watch and DeSantis Watch.
We discuss the problems homeowners are facing to pay homeowners insurance premiums, which have skyrocketed in Florida. There has been a 125% increase in the last five years, and 41% in since last year. Many homeowners, if they can, avoid paying for this insurance. This is in the midst of the climate-cased disasters. (hurricanes, floods, etc.) Insurance companies cannot be sued if Florida, and often do not pay out the cost of rebuilding. The insurance lobby is very strong, and the governor supports their activities.
Part 2:
We talk with Susan Rinkunas, a freelance reporter on reproductive health and politics.
We discuss the conservative christian groups who are funding various attacks on organizations. The group Alliance Defending Freedom, based in Arizona, is militant in pushing christian initiatives through the courts, with manufactured cases and provides judges with "bases" for ruling against liberal policies. The Chevron case is one such case.
