Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 12th of April.
Good morning, Jupiter.
🌲 Environment
Green iguanas are an invasive species in Florida and can be humanely killed on private property with the landowner's permission or on designated FWC-managed public lands without a hunting license—residents should follow local disposal rules to avoid fines.
It is legal to eat iguanas, but improper carcass disposal may lead to penalties.
📰 Finance
The Internal Revenue Service has notified nearly 70,000 Florida taxpayers that they may be owed a median refund of $732 from unclaimed 2021 tax returns — totaling about $61 million statewide.
Taxpayers must file by April 15 to claim their funds before the money goes to the U.S. Treasury — missing the deadline will forfeit the refunds.
🏥 Health
On April 10, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Inc. recalled a production lot of washed and ready-to-eat Marketside Celery Sticks sold at Walmart in 29 states including Florida due to possible Listeria contamination—posing a risk for high-risk groups.
Consumers with products marked 03/23, UPC code 6 81131 16151 0, and lot code P047650 should throw them out, though no illnesses have been reported.
