Many have asked about some of the #Spirit impacts to FLL and the traveling public. Some preliminary updates from our @FLLFlyer team. Rest assured everyone is working to do all we can for the traveling public, affected employees and travelers. More to follow.
.@SecDuffy and the Transportation Department just announced a series of relief actions it’s secured for Spirit customers, to include United, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest capping ticket prices specifically for Spirit flyers who now need to rebook cancelled flights. More here:
We are ready to support customers who may be impacted if Spirit Airlines ceases operations, with a focus on helping people continue their travel plans with low-fare options.
If your travel has been impacted, American Airlines is offering rescue fares in Main Cabin on select routes to help Spirit customers reach their destination. Search fares at https://t.co/GEjKbXoItn.
Our team is available through the weekend for constituents who may need guidance with reemployment assistance through @FLACommerce

The Miami Lighthouse Florida Heiken Children's Vision Program visited Meadowbrook Elementary School @MeadowbrookElem to provide complementary comprehensive eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to students in need! 👓
We welcomed the company of Taylor Morancy, the legislative aide to Senator Jason Pizzo @senpizzo (Senate District 37), who spent the day with Heiken's Dr. Tanzila Rahman and Carmen Arguijo. Together, they performed 40 comprehensive eye examinations and provided 15 prescriptions for eyeglasses! 👏
In 2025 our Statewide Florida Heiken Children’s Vision Program provided-
👁️ 𝟭𝟲,𝟱𝟬𝟬 Comprehensive eye exams
👓 𝟭𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ prescription eyeglasses
📝 𝟭,𝟮𝟬𝟬 referrals to doctors for more serious eye conditions
All 𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘵!
Our challenge: Of the approximately 30,700 children requesting or referred to our Heiken program, we only had the funding to reach 16,500 of them, resulting in 14,000 children not receiving this important vision care.
Adding to the challenge, the anticipated funding from the State of Florida that we had last year to support our Heiken program is uncertain for the coming year. Yet the need for our program remains:
In just 6 months, from July 2025 through March 2026 in Florida, our Heiken program completed 14,918 eye exams, made 999 medical referrals, and dispensed 9,907 glasses, to children statewide, in addition to receiving over 32,600 referrals to our program.
We encourage Florida residents to reach out to their county's elected officials to urge them to support the Florida Heiken Children's Vision Program's continued funding! 📢
By supporting our Florida Heiken Children's Vision Program, you contribute to a child's success so they can feel the confidence of knowing that despite their visual impairment, they can see well and participate in school, and life, like the rest of their classmates. 💙

Nope - manager offered it for free, but gave the cashier $40.
On the way back to the office, stopped by CVS, and bought you a $50 Waffle House gift card!
@senpizzo You literally stole a menu from Waffle House for a photo op attacking our supporters.
