Save us, Obi-Ron. You're our only hope.

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

The City of Gainesville has hiked taxes on property owners by over 85% in the last four years, while the city budget has expanded by nearly $90 million per year, a staggering increase that far outpaces population growth. Despite our DOGE team’s requests, the city has failed to explain or justify this spending.

Gainesville taxpayers deserve better from their local government. Our DOGE team, with support from Florida CFO Blaise Ingoglia and his team, will be coming to Gainesville to review their spending practices and procedures.

Transparency is no longer optional. If any government entity in the state is misusing taxpayer dollars, we will expose it and put a stop to it.

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al.

Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

Step your game up Susan.

@BonkDaCarnivore @jhaskinscabrera City paid it. It was small but comparable to a popular bar venue. But that was a year where they specifically chose smaller groups because they didn’t want big crowds. So the fee paid was intentionally smaller than customary.

@BonkDaCarnivore @jhaskinscabrera I think I know the point you’re making. Does it bother you that it contradicts your initial claims about the bands playing for free?

[Brent Pope @HeyBrentPope]

@BonkDaCarnivore @jhaskinscabrera I performed five years ago and was paid.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

“Gut” the services? @AlachuaCounty wasted $83M of taxpayer dollars last year.

Projections say Alachua would lose $56M with a $250K exemption.

Even after an aggressive tax cut Alachua would STILL have more than enough to deliver services.

Stop the scare tactics. Cut your budget.
