A new investigation shows Gov. Ron DeSantis paved the way for Florida Power & Light Co. to raise electricity rates in the state by $5 billion dollars — the largest rate hike the state has ever approved.
No other elected official in Florida has done more to help FPL land its $5 billion rate increase than DeSantis, who is now running for reelection. Campaign finance records show he has raised more than $3 million from FPL and a network of big-business front groups and dark-money nonprofits that the company helps to fund.
