Description: On tonight’s program: Where there were two, there’s now one. A combined COVID liability bill is now working its way through the Florida Legislature; Is it a tax increase or a tax cut? A plan to replenish Florida’s unemployment trust fund by collecting online sales taxes gets the green light in committee, but not everyone is okay with it; An expert on infectious diseases is urging the State of Florida to make COVID vaccinations available to as many people as possible as quickly as possible; If a woman wants an abortion because she fears her baby might have a disability, a physician could stop her under a proposal under consideration in the Florida Legislature. Lawyers say that could interfere with free speech rights; Florida lawmakers want to let optometrists start doing some of the things only ophthalmologists typically do now. But experts say the two professions are more different than they sound; And the massive COVID rescue plan signed by President Biden today could help more Floridians keep their health insurance coverage during pandemics.
