From Tampa Property Tax Hike to Stadium Subsidy: What Changed?
OnThePoint commentary by Greg C. Truax airs each week on WHBO AM 1040 and is posted on Alive Tampa Bay
Welcome back to OnThePoint, I’m Greg C. Truax.
Remember when Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and City Council Chairman Alan Clendenin told taxpayers the city needed more money? In 2023, they pushed a 16 percent property tax increase.
Both said that essential services such as public safety, roads, parks, and housing couldn’t be adequately funded without higher taxes.
Fortunately, a majority of the City Council said no.
Now, Mayor Castor and Chairman Clendenin support committing roughly $180 million in city funds toward a new Rays stadium, while Hillsborough County would contribute another $796 million.
Taxpayers deserve an answer: If Tampa couldn’t afford its core responsibilities three years ago, why can it now afford to commit $180 million to a baseball project today?
From the NewsTalk 1040 studios, I’m Greg C. Truax

The Free State Formula: DeSantis Delivered
https://t.co/76igyooDnM
OnThePoint commentary by Greg C. Truax
In his final State of the State address,  Gov. Ron DeSantis didn’t ask Floridians to grade him on slogans or TV hits. He asked us to look at the ledger. The DeSantis era in a sentence: unapologetically conservative governance with real results for Floridians.

Kevin O’Leary, from Shark Tank, calls out the insanity of the Democrats.

This clip is absolute truth for all the CNN viewers watching. He explains that the leftist policies are destroying blue states and says they have become “uninvestable.”
