“Florida families just got slammed with a nearly $7 billion rate hike, the biggest in the country, because the people in power refused to stand up for them. While attorneys general in other states stepped in to defend consumers, Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier didn’t lift a finger. And when those charged with protecting the public look the other way to protect their powerful allies, utilities rob families in broad daylight.
"FPL walked away with a blank check while families, seniors, and small businesses are left with higher bills and no one in their corner. Floridians deserve leadership willing to take on powerful interests and fight for affordable, reliable energy. As Attorney General, I’ll do what this administration refused to do: protect consumers, challenge abusive rate hikes, and put Florida’s families first.”
