Governor DeSantis
Announces Lawsuit Against Biden’s Lengthy Delay of
Florida Importing Canadian Prescription Drugs
Governor
DeSantis announced a lawsuit against Biden’s FDA in response to their
unreasonable delay of more than 630 days in approving Florida’s
proposal for a Canadian Prescription Drug Importation Program. Nearly
21 months ago, the Agency for Health Care Administration submitted to
the FDA the plan to safely import cheaper drugs from Canada to save
Floridians $150 million annually.
“Florida
has been ready to deliver cheaper prescription drugs to those that
need them for nearly two years,” Governor DeSantis said. “The lack of
transparency by the Biden administration during the approval process,
and failure to provide records on the importation proposal, is costing
Floridians who are facing rising prices across the board due to
inflation.”
“Governor
DeSantis and I are fighting to lower prescription drug costs, but
Washington bureaucrats are blocking our efforts,” Attorney General
Ashley Moody said.

Governor DeSantis
Awards $68 Million for Electric Transit Buses
Governor
DeSantis continues the state’s efforts to modernize public transit and
reduce air pollution caused by diesel emissions. Through the
Volkswagen settlement, the Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) is awarding more than $68 million to buy 227 electric transit
buses in 13 counties.
In
addition, DEP awarded grants to seven school districts to purchase 218
electric school buses. Electric buses reduce harmful emissions and
improve Florida’s air quality.
“This
funding will help lower emissions while also bringing our transit bus
fleets to more modern standards,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “This is
a win-win for air quality and advancing the state’s efforts to bolster
growing electric vehicle usage.”

Governor Ron
DeSantis Announces SunPass Savings
Governor
DeSantis announced the launch of “SunPass Savings,” a new toll
discount for Florida’s Turnpike System and toll facilities owned by
the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This six-month
program began Thursday, September 1, and is estimated to save drivers
$38 million. Additionally, Governor DeSantis called on the Legislature
to take action during next year’s legislative session so more Florida
families can benefit from toll relief.
“This
program will help frequent SunPass customers keep more money in their
pockets during a time of growing inflation,” Governor DeSantis
said.
The SunPass
Savings program will give:
- Customers
with at least 40 paid transactions monthly a 20 percent credit on
their SunPass account;
- Customers
with 80 or more paid transactions will receive a 25 percent credit
each month.
- On
average, customers using FDOT Turnpike facilities for their daily
commute spend $50 per month on tolls.
Governor DeSantis
Awards $4.6 Million for Infrastructure
Improvements
Governor
Ron DeSantis awarded a total of $4.6 million to the City of Fort
Pierce and Suwannee County for infrastructure and community
improvements.
“In
Florida, we are dedicated to making strategic investments in our
communities that support economic growth and enhance the lives of
hard-working Floridians,” Governor DeSantis said.
- The City
of Fort Pierce received $2.7 million for infrastructure improvements
and the redevelopment of the city’s historic downtown area to spur
economic growth and bring jobs closer to home. These projects will
support an estimated 1,350 total jobs in the Fort Pierce
area.
- Suwannee
County received $1.9 million to support business growth at the
500-acre Catalyst Site industrial park by expanding water distribution
and treatment facilities to support commercial businesses. This will
add an estimated 1,040 jobs in high-demand fields like manufacturing
and distribution.
“Florida
prioritizes infrastructure improvements in communities because when
Florida communities succeed, our state economy thrives,” Governor
DeSantis said. “As Florida’s economy outpaces the nation by virtually
every measure, we will continue to seed opportunities for Floridians
that foster economic success for generations to come.”

Senator Rubio
Releases Two New Ads
Attorney General
Moody Forces U.S. Border Chief to Admit Biden’s Policies are Fueling
Immigration Crisis
Attorney
General Moody continues to uncover damning evidence to hold President
Joe Biden accountable for the crisis at the border. Last year,
Attorney General Moody sued the Department of Homeland Security and
other agencies to force Biden to follow public safety immigration
laws, and recently deposed U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz.
Under oath,
Ortiz testified that the Biden administration purposely reduced the
detention capacity of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
narrowed removal options. Ortiz said these changes forced the patrol
to release hundreds of thousands of immigrants into the interior, even
though they were likely inadmissible into the United States. During
the deposition, Chief Ortiz agreed that Biden’s policies caused the
unprecedented surge at the border.
“After the
Biden administration denied that they were engaged in
catch-and-release, and that they were responsible for the historic
surge at our southern border, Florida got the Chief of Border Patrol
to admit, under oath, the truth,” Attorney General Moody said. “The
Biden administration caused the surge, made the border less safe, and
is flagrantly violating the very federal laws they swore to
uphold.”

Fraud Scheme
CFO Jimmy
Patronis announced the arrest of Ivan Alberto Camacho Rincon by the
Bureau of Insurance Fraud for an alleged prescription invoice fraud

Bureau of Insurance Fraud detectives with the assistance of the Sunny
Isles Beach Police Department.
“As

consumers,” CFO Patronis said. “These kinds of schemes are
unacceptable, unfair to Florida taxpayers, and will not be tolerated
in our state.”

Lieutenant Governor
Nuñez to New York Governor: Republicans are Already
Leaving Your State
Lieutenant
Governor Nuñez was on Newsmax TV this week responding to Democrat New
York Governor Kathy Hochul telling Republicans to get out of her state
and move to Florida.
"Well, I
have news for her: Her residents have left in droves — and she hasn't
been paying attention — and they've come to the free state of Florida,
where you can actually work, own a business, make a living, send your
kids to school, reject the biomedical state, worship your creator,"
Núñez told Eric Bolling’s show. "They've already left her state and
they've come to the free state of Florida where we represent
everybody.”
