Rep. Rick Kriseman, D-St. Petersburg, said he got the idea after an elderly constituent complained that a $35 monthly stipend for Medicaid recipients was not enough to cover personal needs, such as haircuts, clothing and movie tickets. ‘I’m sorry if I’ve taken a dollar that you would have otherwise stuck in someone’s garter,’ said Kriseman, who is sponsoring the legislation with Sen. Ronda Storms, R-Brandon.
