TALLAHASSEE State auditors warned Gov. Ron DeSantis last year that Floridas unemployment website was still suffering major problems, including glitches, error messages and other problems that thousands of Floridians are now experiencing.
In a damning 2019 report, auditors found that they had flagged all of the problems with the website in previous audits going back to 2015 yet state officials had not made a serious attempt to fix them.
The consequences for delaying the fixes will be severe. The unreliable system is failing under an unprecedented crush of unemployment claims because of the coronavirus, and many Floridians are unable to apply because the site keeps crashing.
If Florida cant get its website fixed, the hundreds of thousands of Floridians thrown out of work could, at the least, be forced to wait weeks for unemployment relief because theyre unable to apply for them on Floridas website.

I do hope the people of Florida remember how much money has been spent on senseless wars and tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy.
