Words cannot express my horror at the targeted attack on these two public servants. Our views are not what divides us. It is the hate within our hearts. Praying for their families and our country.
Hurricane affected residents who haven't filed for permits yet, you are about to receive the attached letter. On behalf of residents, I have formally requested the Mayor provide an extension of the permit fee waiver to end on July 31st. Right now it ends in 22 days!
I've had the honor of seeing @POTUS speak a few times and even got a quick chat and selfie once. His service to our country has been remarkable and he will go down in history as one of the greatest leaders of our time. Thank you President @JoeBiden 🙏🏼
Four years ago, in the middle of a pandemic, we needed a leader with the character to put politics aside and do what was right. That’s what @JoeBiden did.
At a time when our economy was reeling, he drove what would become the world’s strongest recovery – with 17 million new jobs, historic wage gains, and lower health care costs. He passed landmark legislation to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and address the threat of climate change.
I’m grateful to Joe for his leadership, his friendship, and his lifetime of service to this country we love.
Quote for the reporters who won't stop asking "While I love the Rays and hate what happened to the Trop, quite frankly I am more concerned about where Hurricane Helene and Milton impacted residents are going to live today than where baseball will be played next spring."
In this morning's press conference ahead of #Milton, Governor DeSantis explained why the state "cut open" the landfill in Pinellas to dispose of debris from Hurricane #Helene:
"The executive order said 24/7... State assets had a lot of debris to drop off, and it was locked. There was no one manning it. So they opened it. And that's totally appropriate. We need 24/7. ... We're supplementing [local debris removal efforts] in ways that have never been done."
#LeadershipMatters
Flood debris pick up will ramp to a 24/7 operation ahead of Milton. If you have the ability to hire a private contractor, there are sites available for them. In addition the VEGETATIVE brush sites are also open for residents only! No flood debris accepted https://t.co/taOpGaKtyV

Helene is predicted to bring 5-8ft of storm surge to St Pete. Idalia was 3.85ft. If you or your neighbors flooded in Idalia, please take this storm seriously. Shelter space is still available and the time to go is now!
