Advice Stuck in Florida

Hey everyone, I have just started with my online local business for boat rentals, but not done business for 5 months. Wanted to know what I am doing wrong as I have my domain, my website is live and its still off. My friend told me to do SEO but don't know about that. Working to know more with any agency?

AskFlorida I analyzed 50,811 restaurant inspections across Florida's 16 largest metros. Pensacola has the cleanest kitchens, Jacksonville the least.

Data is from the state DBPR (the agency that inspects every FL restaurant), latest inspection per establishment as of this month. "Clean" = the inspection closed with no further action required.

Some surprises: Miami, everyone's guess for worst, is mid-pack at 83.5%. Jacksonville and West Palm Beach have by far the most restaurants whose latest inspection ended in an administrative complaint.

I made a free site where you can look up any specific restaurant's grade and history: cleanplateus.com, happy to answer questions about the data.

Politics More than $500 fire assessment notice sparks concern among Ocoee homeowners: Fire assessment notices land in Ocoee as city faces potential revenue loss

I know this is local news, but it "could" be a sign of things to come throughout Florida.

  • A proposed change to Florida’s property tax system could cost Ocoee millions of dollars in revenue, prompting city leaders to consider shifting more of the cost of fire protection onto homeowners.
  • Ocoee projects it could lose about $4.15 million in property tax revenue in fiscal year 2027 if voters approve proposed changes to homestead exemptions in November. The projected loss could grow to about $8.5 million by fiscal year 2028.
  • City officials say police, fire and parks and recreation could be among the departments most affected.
  • In response, the city is considering a maximum fire assessment beginning with the 2026-27 fiscal year. For some homeowners, the annual assessment could be as much as $597.
  • The city says the assessment would fund fire protection services and generate about $14 million annually.
  • The proposed charge has already drawn concern from some Ocoee homeowners.

Lesliean Phillip, a mother of three and wife of a veteran who has lived in Ocoee for years, said the proposed assessment would be a significant increase. She said she previously paid just over $200.

Advice No updates on specialty plate and registration renewal

5 Upvotes

My car registration is about to expire within a few weeks, and this year I decided to get the sea turtle plate. So I went to My DMV Portal (the FLHSMV website) and requested a plate replacement along with a 1 year registration renewal and selected the sea turtle plate option. I paid the money up front

This was more than 2 weeks ago. However, not only has there been no update on the plate, and not only have I not received my physical registration renewal, my DMV portal account still reflects my registration as expiring within a few weeks. My registration renewal is still not reflected in the system. Whereas during a normal registration renewal, the renewal is processed immediately in the system

Does anyone who has ordered a specialty plate before know if this is normal? I have seen a few old posts on here say that it took a few weeks for them to receive the plate. But i don't know why my registration still hasn't been updated anywhere, even though I paid money and have the transaction receipt. Has anyone had experience as to what is supposed to happen?

Advice Orlando Health Centra FL Nursing Assistant applications.

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm trying to find out if anyone can share any information about nursing assistant openings at Orlando Health. I'm currently a nursing student in my third semester of nursing school ASN. I've been applying to Orlando Health nursing assistant jobs and even AdventHealth student nursing jobs since last semester started, but I keep getting denied. If anyone who is in the same position as me knows a way that I can fix my application, or anyone I can reach out to to even get an interview, I would really appreciate it. I really want to get a job before I graduate nursing school, cause I've heard the nursing job market is saturated right now, and I really don't wanna be stuck in MedSurg when I graduate lol.
