Satisfaction with claims processing also declined, from 82% in 2024 to 78% in…
Florida’s economy is built on infrastructure. Roads, ports, and airports: these are the arteries of commerce, and smart business leaders know that a nation’s competitiveness is only as strong as its ability to move people, workers, and goods efficiently. That’s why I’m an advocate for passenger rail here in Florida. Railroads are a great asset that Florida businesses and leaders should prioritize by supporting and investing in their future. In 2025, more than 1 million passengers will ride Amtrak through Florida. One million people passed through 18 stations spread across the state, passing through communities where Florida businesses need employees…

A fourth-line anchor and faceoff specialist, he proved to be the perfect fit. After recording nine points (1G, 8A) in 59 games during the regular season, Nosek and his linemates returned to the lineup for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs and helped turn the tide. With the Panthers trailing 2-0 to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round of the Eastern Conference, Nosek, Jonah Gajovic and AJ Grier were called upon to provide a much-needed boost. Nosek assisted on Gajovic’s decisive goal in the first game, giving the Panthers a 4-3 lead in the second period and an eventual…

As Epic Universe nears 10 months since its grand opening and its first spring break season begins, how is the park faring? In five words: “Everything we hoped for.” That’s what Mike Kavanaugh, Comcast’s co-chief executive officer, told market analysts at a Morgan Stanley conference this month. He cited increased attendance at Universal Orlando, increased per capita tourist spending, and increased hotel stays and length of stay during the Epic era. “Where do we go from here?” Cavanagh asked. “I think the park and the workforce within the park continue to mature, so ride flow and capacity will finally reach…

This is part 1 of an investigative series about money and influence in high-stakes health policy decisions, and how private polls and opaque “taxpayer” groups have helped shape the fight over local health care bills. At first glance, a recent Broward County poll appears to answer a simple question: What do voters think about proposals involving public hospital districts? A closer look reveals other questions. How much do we really know about the entire system of polling, paid messaging, funding streams, and more that currently shapes community health discussions with enormous financial stakes? Earlier this year, state lawmakers introduced House…
