Insurers slashed Hurricane Ian payouts far below damage estimates, documents and insiders reveal: It’s been more than four months since Hurricane Ian ransacked Florida’s Fort Myers Beach, but many residents are battling with insurance companies, and one family says they’ve been offered just $500 compensation for their house, which was left unlivable. Over a quarter of all closed insurance claims in decimated Lee County have been denied, leaving tens of thousands of shell-shocked property owners on the brink of financial ruin.

Budget surplus breakdown; thanks to taxpayers, the Texas Legislature will have a whopping $32.7 billion extra dollars available to spend before the 2022-23 budget cycle ends Aug. 31: If the $32.7 billion surplus were distributed equally, every Texan would get $1,088. And if the surplus were disbursed equally among all Texas renter households, they would each get $8,490, covering the average rent payment for seven and a half months. The surplus is even big enough to pay for every Texas student’s school lunch for 12 years.

I’m a teacher in Florida. Here’s what the DeSantis book bans look like in my classroom: A new crackdown on books in Florida schools has had a chilling effect in classrooms. House Bill 1467, signed by Governor DeSantis in March of last year, basically states that schools must be transparent in their selection of instructional, library, and reading materials. Meaning that parents have the right to know what their students are reading and a means to view those materials. All materials must be free of pornography, gender identity issues (for students in Kindergarten through third grade), as well as any books relating to discrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin. The books must also be approved by a certificated media specialist.

Why the “Book-Ban” Meltdown in Florida Is a Political Farce: Another news outlet warned, “Florida considers books to be more dangerous to students than assault rifles,” adding, “This is truly a dystopian state.” CNN’s Don Lemon reported that “scared and confused teachers are scrambling to comply with a new law championed by governor Ron DeSantis”
and then asks incredulously, “What in the world is going on here?”

Iranian schoolgirls have mysterious illness: Hundreds of videos posted on social media since late last year show high-school girls in Iran reporting sudden fatigue, burning throats, nausea, headaches and numbness — symptoms that many attribute to poisoning. Iran’s government has arrested more than 100 people that it says are responsible for releasing “smelly and harmless” substances. The interior minister said that “suspicious samples” were being analysed, but no details have been released.

US Corporations Are Bringing Back Child Labor, With Help From GOP
Lawmakers: Rather than offering wages attractive to adults, employers want lawmakers to push teens into dangerous jobs. In some cases, it would even permit young teens to work mining and construction jobs and use power-driven meat slicers and food choppers. Make no mistake, this is dangerous work. Just three years ago, a 16-year-old in Tennessee fell more than 11 stories to his death while working construction on a hotel roof. Another 16-year-old lost an arm that same year while cleaning a meat grinder at a Tennessee supermarket. But these preventable tragedies mean nothing to legislators bent on helping employers pad their bottom lines at kids’ expense.

Her South Memphis neighborhood is nestled in one of the nation’s most infamous industrial zones. Her neighborhood and adjoining zip codes are home to about 90 facilities listedon the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Toxic Release Inventory. They include the nastiness of oil and coal tar refineries; hazardous waste storage and treatment facilities; and companies making or handling asphalt, concrete, fertilizers, paint, pharmaceuticals, plastics, solvents, appliances, furniture coatings, laminates, animal feed, and automotive parts. Several are owned by corporate titans such as Valero, Nucor, Sherwin-Williams, General Electric, Owens Corning, Exxon Mobil, and Land o’ Lakes.

Underestimated: The authors of a new analysis highlight the public health and environmental risks that the plastic exports pose.

Alex Andrade, a Republican representing Panhandle residents and an ally of Gov.
