Eliminating property taxes is not about saving us money, it is all about taking away local control. They still need to pay for schools, police, fire, EMT, etc. So they will get the money from you in another form. Floridians, read below to learn more.

-Stay informed and share credible information about what property taxes fund in your community—and how assessment fees differ.
-Talk to friends and neighbors about what uncapped fees could mean for household budgets.

This is absolutely true. I don't want them here in Florida, but we have less attention from ICE than Minnesota. Maybe our growers are Republicans?

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks.
IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against

Florida keeps packing people and buildings on barrier islands. It comes at a high cost
Florida barrier islands host 765,000+ residents as development raises hurricane, erosion and insurance risks while taxpayers fund repeated beach restorations.

Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people.

"Florida should be leading the way in small-scale solar system adoption by passing regulations that give residents reasonable, less restrictive access to this safe and efficient technology," writes Bob Norberg of @thirdactflorida.bsky.social.

Florida laws are constraining the choice of residents to install their own solar generation and storage capabilities.

Donald Trump says he wants to “crack down” on drug trafficking.
But he cut prevention and treatment programs that help people rebuild their lives, and he pardoned a convicted drug kingpin.
We need leaders who will actually fight the opioid crisis and invest in treatment, prevention, and recovery.
