Negligence Claims Bills Sent to Florida Governor’s Desk

A claims bill that would pay $2.4 million to the parents of murdered Tallahassee police informant Rachel Hoffman went to Gov. Rick Scott after a final vote Friday in the Florida Senate. The measure (HB 7131) will allow the city to compensate Irving Hoffman and Marjorie Weiss, who watched the 33-3 roll call from the Senate gallery, for the death of their 23-year-old daughter during a botched drug sting in 2008.
