For my North Wildwood neighbors that keep telling me they are tired of Jersey and plan to move, Florida falls short in almost any measure that matters to the lives of its citizens. Under DeSantis, Florida continues to languish toward the bottom of state rankings assessing the quality of health care, school funding and long-term elder care. Florida is where teachers’ salaries go to die as they are among the lowest in the nation, unemployment benefits are stingier than in any other state, and The state’s minimum wage went up Thursday to $10 an hour from $8.65. Hey, at least you can carry a gun.
