Good morning, St. Augustine.

Florida leaders passed insurance reforms to lower costs for home and auto policies.

The changes began in 2021—bringing in 11 new companies and reducing rate hikes so homeowners can save money.

St. Augustine Vice Mayor Barbara Blonder has proposed to shorten the Nights of Lights display by 25 days to ease gridlock and reduce the $325,000 cleanup cost from this year’s overwhelming crowds — she said the adjustment is a temporary step while the city waits for consultant recommendations on long-term solutions. Local business owners and residents have mixed views, with some doubting the change will reduce traffic during peak times.
