Evictions
Three Tampa Bay-area lawmakers are teaming up on bills calling for changes in the state’s eviction process. As many as one million Floridians face eviction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Also, on today’s Sunrise:
— January was the worst month on record for the number of COVID-19 fatalities and newly confirmed cases reported in Florida, but the Governor says the trends are looking much better.
— The state reported 214 more fatalities Monday. There were also 5,700 new cases, the lowest one-day total so far this year.
— Two members of Congress from South Florida are calling to strip newly-elected Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia of her committee assignments for some of the crazy things she’s said on social media, and in real life.
— Among other things, Greene says the shooting at Stoneman Douglas High three years ago was a government hoax. Fred Guttenberg says she owes him and the other Parkland parents an apology — and a resignation.
— And finally, a Florida Man was arrested for stealing a poodle after delivering a pizza.
