Florida citizen protecting rights of all, We are all equal in eyes of God "When the world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.”- Malala Yousafzai. ...




“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.” - The Usual Suspects The greatest trick DeSantis ever pulled was convincing Floridians that local government is the problem and state government is the solution. If your mayor, sheriff, and county commission have to fly to Tallahassee every year to ask permission to fund basic services, the state didn’t shrink government. It just moved it farther away and gave you less control.

Today, we’re excited to announce the Model Cities Initiative which is the next step in this administration's mission to restore law and order, back the Blue, and Make America SAFE again.

Under @POTUS's leadership, this Department of Justice, and this Initiative is focused on results, and are looking for true whole-of-government partnerships. Apply now: justice.gov/grants Submissions are due September 1st.

A child with Down syndrome is not less human, less valuable, or less deserving of life. When disability becomes a justification for death, we've lost sight of the inherent worth God gives every person. We have drifted from a belief in intrinsic human dignity toward a belief that a life's worth is determined by its perceived quality. We have grown uncomfortable with sacrifice and increasingly measure human worth by convenience. Our society is the one who is sick.

🧵 Lots of debate on this tax issue, but let me make a technical suggestion I think we all can agree on. Nerd out with me for a second- Florida’s 95% Rule (FS 200.065) is why your property taxes feel higher than needed. When setting millage rates, counties, cities, and schools must calculate taxes using only 95% (or less) of the certified taxable value…even though they’ll actually collect more. Built-in cushion by design. #FloridaTaxes 1/4





Buying a car without knowing the price is reckless. Voting on a constitutional amendment without knowing the cost is worse. Florida is being asked to fundamentally redesign local government finance before anyone can tell us the full fiscal impact. That’s not reform. That’s a leap of faith.

Two years from now, the most repeated sentence in the Florida Capitol will be: “That’s not what we intended.” Public policy isn’t judged by what supporters hope will happen. It’s judged by what actually happens after everyone starts reacting to it.
