Written by Tom Gatens – Florida Citizens Against Litigation Abuse (FL CALA) Executive Director Florida legislators have a unique opportunity to build on their successful leadership as smart civil justice reform leaders.

Fabian Basabe (R-Miami Beach), and Senate Bill 1396, sponsored by Sen. Colleen Barton (R-Lakeland). These common-sense reforms shed much-needed light on the growing and problematic practice of third-party litigation financing (TPLF), which is becoming a major trial…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia adopted the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative proposed by billionaire Elon Musk during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term. The federal DOGE effort relied on audits and line-by-line reviews of federal spending, pointing to overspending and making budget cuts based on information gathered from within federal agencies. More than 20 years ago, Florida Senate President John McKay and House Speaker Tom Feeney, with the enthusiastic support of then-Governor Jeb Bush, did something similar, but through a different process called zero-based budgeting. Because Florida, like every other…

A new study conducted by IT Asset Management Group (IT-AMG) analyzed the privacy policies of more than 5,000 apps in the Apple App Store.

Question: I have an outdoor hanging basket of impatiens. Most of the petals have fallen off, but the remaining leaves and stems look healthy. Will it eventually produce more flowers? Answer: Winter is not the best time for impatiens, but most impatiens will survive and look attractive if frost or freeze does not damage the plants. Under minimal care programs, it is not uncommon for plants to become spindly and lose old leaves. It is best to water when the soil surface becomes dry to keep it moist. Also, fertilize with liquid fertilizer every two to three weeks or spray…

I wish I had the luxury of taking two months off to go on a big thru-hiking adventure like the Florida Trail. For now, I can instead live vicariously through others, like my friend Greg Plugg. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he and I kayaked the entire St. Johns River together a few years ago. After running Adventures, a kayak supply store in Florida for more than 30 years, Greg sold the company to new owners and moved to Virginia, then back to Florida and spent nearly two months hiking the entire Florida Trail as a long farewell…
