This new Orlando International Airport feature will make travel easier at Terminal C
SUMMARY: The pedestrian bridge under construction at Orlando International Airport’s Terminal C is nearing completion. This enclosed walkway will connect passengers from the Brightline train station and People Mover Trams to Terminal C, making the journey more comfortable, especially during summer heat. Originally planned but cut due to COVID-19, the bridge will feature rental car counters and moving walkways. Its exterior is complete, with finishing touches being applied inside. Set to open by mid-April, the bridge will eliminate the need to walk through the Terminal C garage, although adjacent construction will continue.

Florida Democrats launch lawsuit against Gov. DeSantis over ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ access
SUMMARY: Several Democratic Florida state lawmakers filed a lawsuit against Governor Ron DeSantis and FDEM Director Kevin Guthrie after being denied entry to the “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility. The legislators argue the site qualifies as a state detention facility, granting them legal visitation rights. FDEM countered, stating their authority applies only to legislative committees, not individual lawmakers, and the facility isn’t a state correctional institution under Florida law. The suit seeks a court order forcing immediate access. The governor’s office called the lawsuit frivolous, noting an invitation had been extended for a weekend tour.

‘It’s not easy:’ Here’s what could be coming for Florida’s economy
SUMMARY: Despite rising economic anxiety, UCF economist Sean Snaith forecasts no recession, predicting continued but slower growth amid trade policy uncertainties. Florida’s economy faces potential threats from geopolitics, domestic policies, and hurricanes, yet core sectors like tourism remain strong. By 2028, Florida’s nominal GDP is expected to surpass \$2 trillion, nearly 20% higher than last year. Economic growth rate will slow as the state nears full employment, resulting in modest labor and job growth. Key job sectors with steady growth include education and health services (1.9%), leisure and hospitality (1.5%), construction (1.4%), financial services (1.2%), and government (0.8%). Real personal income growth will average 2.9%, slightly above national rates. Per capita incomes are forecasted to rise across Florida’s metro areas by 6.1% to 10.1% through 2028.

Eye on your money: This is not the time to forget about your finances
SUMMARY: With summer expenses rising—vacations, impulse buys, pricey lunches—financial advisor Charles Sachs urges a midyear money checkup. He warns against summer spending traps like online shopping and suggests assessing needs versus wants. In South Florida, transportation costs, especially owning multiple cars, drain budgets, costing around $20,000 yearly. For lunch, meal prepping saves money versus frequent dining out. Sachs’s top tip: use cash instead of cards to avoid overspending. People shared budgeting strategies like tracking expenses, using coupons, and comparing deals. His millionaire advice: save just $5 daily in an interest-bearing account to grow wealth over decades.
