Marco Rubio is calling for the suspension of the reg- ularly scheduled flights between the United States and Cuba that began in recent weeks because he says, despite previous claims, federal air marshals still aren't aboard the new flights to and from the island. In response to a request from the US. -Cuba Trade and Economic Council, the TSA issued a statement in August that said, "In the spirit of enhancing the security of international civil aviation, the United States and The Republic of Cuba entered into an avia- tion security agreement that sets forth the legal framework for the deploy- ment of U.S. in-flight secu- rity officers — more com- monly known as federal air marshals —on board cer- tain flights to and from Cuba." But during a House hear- ing Wednesday, TSA Depu- ty Administrator Huban Gowadia said that the Cu- ban government has not yet signed the agreement, meaning the first sched- uled flights between the United States and Cuba since 1961 began without the deployment of air mar- shals. Gowadia clarified that air marshals only fly on select charters rather than the new flights, and said the United States and Cuba are continuing to work toward an agreement cov- ering regularly scheduled flights. She cited security con- cerns for not making public that there was no agree- ment with Cuba on in- flight security officers at the time the first scheduled flight took off on Aug. 31. It was a JetBlue flight from Fort Lauderdale to Santa Clam. "There have been no air Miriam Turner arrives with her baby, Chana, 7 months, In Cienfuegos on her way to visit the Jewish community in Cuba on American Airlines Inaugural scheduled service from Miami to Cuba on September 7. marshals on board thus far despite the fact that the administration said there would be," Rubio said on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday. "So basically what we have here is an outright lie. Today, only because they [the TSAI were asked, only because they were asked, did they admit this is not happen- ing." He said it was "incum- bent upon the TSA to lock down a federal air marshal agreement" before more flights take to the air. In addition to JetBlue, Amer- ican Airlines and Silver Airways also have flown regularly scheduled flights to Cuba, and several other airlines have announced plans to begin service to Cuban provincial cities and Havana before the end of the year. Restoring regularly scheduled Rights is part of a normalization process with Cuba that the Obama administration began in December 2014. Rubio called the lack of air marshals "the latest example of an adminis- tration that is so intent on burnishing its legacy, on getting credit far this open - mg that they're willing to throw everything else out the window." Rubio and New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Me- nendez have filed a bill that would stop the sched- uled flights until there is an agreement with the Cuban government and adequate security measures are in place. The same bill has been filed in the House. "Given what 1 know now about the status of the air marshals, the TSA should never have issued that original statement," said John Kavulich, president of the U.S-Cuba Trade and Economic Council. "All it's done is make existing is- sues worse and create new ones."

Heritage, the third -larg- est insurer in South Florida with 96,139 personal resi- dential policies at the end of March, this month filed for approval to increase rates an average 9.9 per- cent statewide to insure houses and condos trans- ferred from state -run Citi- zens Property Insurance Corp. Roughly 75 percent of all Heritage policies were assumed through efforts to depopulate Citi- zens. Rates for single-family homes would increase an average 15 percent in all South Florida territories except the Hialeah and Miami sections of Miami - Dade County, according to the Sept. 9 filing with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. In Hialeah, the increase would average 6.4 percent and in Miami, 11 percent. For Heritage customers, the good news is that the latest filing seeks less than the 14.9 percent average statewide increase request- ed by the company in April. That request, which pro- posed increases as high as 25 percent in South Florida, was withdrawn in July. At the time, Heritage Presi- dent Richard Widdicombe said the company was un- able to reach an agreement with state regulators over ways to reduce claims costs inflated by unscrupulous repair contractors and their attorneys. NOTICE OF PROPOSED TAX INCREASE The Downtown Development Authority of the City of Miami, Florida has tentatively adopted a measure to increase its property tax levy. Last year's property tax levy: A. Initially proposed tax levy $7,187,129 B. Less tax reductions due to Value Adjustment Board and other assessment changes $242,361 C. Actual property tax levy $6,944,768 This year's proposed tax levy $7,808,726 All concerned citizens are invited to attend a public hearing on the tax increase to be held on: September 20, 2016 5:05 PM. Miami City Hall 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 A FINAL DECISION on the proposed tax increase and the budget will be made at this hearing. Increased water damage losses and related lawsuits remain a problem for the company, Widdicombe said Wednesday. "It's a continuation of what every- one's been telling about. Losses continue to escalate and we have to do some- thing about it," he said. The insurer's new re- quest seeks to limit losses with a $10,000 coverage cap for water damage not related to roofs or hurri- canes. Homeowners, in exchange, would get a 25 percent rate credit for the non -hurricane portion of their policies. The cap and credit would be voluntary for owners of homes 40 years and young- er and mandatory for homes over 40 years old. Asa result, many policy- holders would see overall premiums decrease about 2 percent, he said. Many insurance compa- nies that sell policies in Florida have requested rate increases this year, citing increased losses from in- flated water damage claims. Citizens, which sounded the first warnings about water damage scams sever- al years ago, is seeking increases averaging 8.9 percent to 9,1 percent in South Florida and 6.9 per- cent statewide. Sawgmss Mutual secured approval in August for a state average 9.8 percent increase. Increases were also approved for Ark Roy- al (5.1 percent), Federated National (5.5 percent), Prepared (8.7 percent), Florida Family (4.8 per- cent) and Olympus (7 per- cent). Increase requests by several other companies are pending review. DIVIDENDS da rie ,e1, :ntr ferias Meer . . fuMun ?IReaetNey for20ree'rose Sta RO snot Basin Snivel e l for. reverse spilt eXMiveY,.
