Commissioner and Mayor in Hollywood, Florida explained why they gave themselves a raise, citing the need to be compensated fairly and the time and effort they put into their positions.

Commissioner and Mayor salaries in Hollywood had not been raised in 10 years, and the raise brings their pay up to similar levels as other officials in neighboring cities.

Critics argue that the timing of the raise, during a pandemic and economic downturn, is inappropriate.

Mayor said the raise was approved before the pandemic and defended the decision by stating it was about fair compensation for the work they do.

🌿 Outdoor & Living Survival

Prepping a Bug Out Bag for Florida-Specific Emergencies

In Florida, preparing a bug out bag is more than just survival—it’s smart planning for hurricanes, flooding, and sudden evacuations.

Here’s what to pack with the Sunshine State in mind:

  • Waterproof bags or dry sacks to protect gear from heavy rain and floods.
  • Lightweight clothing that dries quickly in Florida’s humidity.
  • Extra bug spray and mosquito netting to handle the state’s intense mosquito season.
  • Portable water filtration system for unexpected water shortages.
  • Copies of important documents sealed in waterproof containers.
  • Non-perishable food items that can withstand high heat and humidity.
  • Battery-powered or hand-crank radio for hurricane updates.

Pro Tip: Rotate your bug out bag supplies every 6 months—Florida’s climate can wear down food, batteries, and gear faster than you think.
