I find it curious that Florida Republican'ts soultion to affordability is to gut local government budgets with the proposed elimination of property taxes instead of addressing out of control property insurance rates. I guess that's to be expected when their campaigns are bankrolled by the insurance lobby.

When will Florida Republicans wake up and smell the coffee? Florida is being fleeced by this corrupt governor.

Here comes the fascist governor with his goon squad legislature infringing on civil liberties yet again.
The last time I checked, police did not need protecting from civilian oversight. The whole reason for civilian oversight of police is to prevent incidents like the McDuffie incident in Miami, where an innocent black man and USMC veteran was ruthlessly beaten to death by white cops in 1980. As if the senseless beating wasn't bad enough, these rogue police officers then tried to cover up their misdeeds and make it look like they were defending themselves. What's to stop this from happening again once civilian oversight boards are banned? In a free society, who does this benefit? It surely does not benefit the citizen.
This absurd war on "woke" needs to stop. I don't think anyone in Florida wants to live in a fascist police state, but that's exactly where we're headed with this fascist governor and his goon squad legislature. I pray the courts rule this garbage unconstitutional, but with the current corrupt, incompetent, activist judges on the FL Supreme Court I worry that our civil liberties will continue to be eroded, all in the name of public safety.
Me? I'm with Ben Franklin who is credited with saying "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." I'm still waiting for Miami's finest to find the crooks who stole my bike from the park behind my house. When they solve that cold crime, maybe I'll give them some credit. Otherwise, I'm fine protecting myself.
The rantings expressed here are my own opinions. If you don't like my opinions, you can kiss my @$$ and go post somewhere else. BTW the last line is a nod to musician David Alan Coe who famously sang "If that ain't country, I'll kiss your . . ."
