Florida's Association of Counties and Chamber of Commerce are teaming up with County Commissions across the state to oppose statewide property tax elimination. They oppose Amendment 3 on the upcoming November ballot citing "essential" services such as INFRASTRUCTURE to defend their opposition to homeowner relief. Infrastructure for projects such as Glydways.

Surely, the $7 billion approved rate hike for FPL this year is pure coincidence and has nothing to do with billion dollar Data Centers like Project Tango or AI transit commuters like Glydways, each of which are backed by California based investors and having continued hearings for approval here just days apart this month!

Remember when the County Commissions approved the Brightline project in 2014 here with ties to California? It was and still is deemed "essential" by all the above despite currently running a $5.5 billion deficit. How does it continue? It continues on life support thru billions of dollars in county pushed grants that can barely keep up with tens of millions in quarterly losses. So, it's never been profitable and never is going to be, but it's "essential" and part of the reason Florida Association of Counties, the Chamber of Commerce, and County Commissions say homeowners shouldn't be aloud to have their property tax eliminated.

Tort reform has been an enormous win for the state of Florida and swept the entire U.S. insurance market by storm (@USAA, etc). For @GovRonDeSantis, this is a major contribution to his legislative legacy. It took political will and courage to put new Civil Remedies into law over 2 years ago in 2023 thru CS/CS/HB 837 (former Rep. Tommy Gregory, Rep. @TPFabricio, Rep. @websterbarnaby , Rep. @headboatwasher, former Rep. @ClerkMikeCaruso, former Rep. Killebrew, current Sen. Leek, Rep. @vickillopez , Rep. @RandyMaggard_FL / @RepMaggard, and former Rep. Roth) and CS/CS/SB 236 (former Sen. Hutson).

As soon as the new year in 2027, after a new Governor succeeds @RonDeSantis, auto dividend recipients could see this all undone thru a state-wide policy coverage system change from No-Fault to At-Fault automobile insurance which is projected to entirely offset these consumer savings with drastically higher premiums.

This is why I've lobbied against opposing Motor Vehicle Insurance bills such as HB 769 (Rep. @megweinberger and Rep. @dannyalvarezsr) and SB 522 (Sen. @ErinGrall) which rejects the above mentioned reform and legacy accomplishment for consumer protection.

Jay Collins wants taxpayers to fund his campaign.

That's money that could have gone to public safety or stayed in taxpayers' pockets.

Florida taxpayers shouldn't be a campaign ATM.

Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place for Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller, Palm Beach County PBC @ClerkMikeCaruso !

Last August, Democrat @SenatorAbruzzo resigned as Palm Beach Clerk & Comptroller to be nominated and unanimously voted Palm Beach County Administrator by the @pbcgov County Commission (Baxter - R, @marswoodward - R, Marino - R, @GreggPbc - D, Flores - D, @MariaSachs - D, and @BobbyPowellJr. - D). Palm Beach County Administrator Abruzzo served as Palm Beach Clerk & Comptroller from 2021 - 2025. It should be noted, Woodward, Bobby Powell Jr., and Marino, initially dissented for other candidates.

The next day, Republican Mike Caruso vacated his FL-HD 87 seat as a local State Representative to succeed Joseph Abruzzo and be appointed Palm Beach County Clerk & Comptroller by FL @GovRonDeSantis. Caruso served as a FL State Rep. from 2018 - 2025.

Like Caruso, Abruzzo previously served as a former FL State Rep. but represented FL-HD 81 and others since redistricted. Unlike Caruso, Abruzzo wasn’t appointed Palm Beach Clerk & Comptroller but elected unopposed in 2020 and then won re-election by just a 7% margin in 2024.

Last March, Republican @JimmyPatronis resigned as FL Chief Financial Officer to run and ultimately become a U.S. Congressman in FL-CD1 succeeding former Congressman @mattgaetz. Patronis served as FL CFO from 2017 - 2025.

In July of last year, Republican @GovGoneWild Ingoglia vacated his FL-SD 11 seat as a State Senator to succeed Jimmy Patronis and be appointed FL CFO by FL Governor @RonDeSantis. Ingoglia served as a FL State Sen. from 2022 - 2025.

Like Caruso, Ingoglia is up for re-election and campaigning to November. Unlike Caruso, Ingoglia faces a Republican primary in August.

As part of FL @CFOIngoglia's re-election campaign, Ingoglia has personally been on a state-wide tour promoting his FAFO Audit (Florida Agency for Fiscal Oversight) an acronym pun on the well known expression “Fuck Around and Find Out”. This draws comparison to a 2022 DeSantis anti-CDC campaign over COVID policy guidelines titled “Buck the CDC” which widely was interpreted as “Fuck the CDC”.

Now, Palm Beach County tops the worst of all FL Counties in FL CFO Ingoglia’s FAFO Audit campaign and Palm Beach County Administrator Abruzzo finds himself on the hot seat despite a 5 year contract he’s only just begun. Neither the Palm Beach County Commission or Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation (Sen. Berman - D, Sen. @Gayle_Harrell - R, Sen. @MackBernardFL - D, Sen. @TinaPolsky - D, Rep. Skidmore - D, Rep. Snyder - R, Rep. @megweinberger - R, Rep. @GossettSeidman - R, Rep. @anne_gerwig - R, @RepTendrich - D, Rep. Edmonds - D, Rep. Long - D, and Rep. Gregory - D) have yet to respond to FL CFO Ingoglia's criticisms in hopes he looses his primary. Only problem for them is he’s just getting warmed up!

This is great news.

According to the April Metropolitan Jobs Report, unemployment in Florida increased by 36.7% over the past year, with The Villages seeing one of the highest increases. This is bad.

Our state has long been the model for opportunity and success and we can’t lose track of that. We need to bring business back to the Sunshine State.

[Connell Consulting Business Agency @Connell_LLC]

The #SentiLink partnership has been curated to sound good but @GovRonDeSantis shared his emphasis on how @AHCA_FL must remain committed to doing more than just kicking the can down the same road.

Without continued legal reforms to close off every remaining loophole at both the state and federal level, there's long track record of partnerships thru standard state government procurement contracts mimicking that of a shell game.

The EMC Transparency Bill / Independent Medical Necessity Determination (IMND) are just a couple great examples of what's being crafted and proposed for future administrations to address and permanently close rampant fraud loopholes via such partnerships.

[Liam E. Connell @LiamE_Connell]

Sara Baxter is a prime example of what was meant by a product of division and confusion by committees due to the restriction of proper guidance or assistance from statewide leadership. For those who don't know, the statewide leadership in this case would be RNC Chair Joe Gruters and FL GOP Chair Evan Power.

The President of the United States has spoken and neither the RNC or FL GOP is anywhere to be found.

Here's the conundrum, the "Resign - To - Run" Law is not applied. While still in official capacity, Gruters' wife Sydney is running for FL CD16 and Power's is running for FL CD2. The Party Loyalty Oath is abandoned and this goes for both sides of the aisle!

President Donald Trump said he would rather the Palm Beach County mayor keep her commission seat than run for Congress.

[Liam E. Connell @LiamE_Connell]

Uh, whatever the intentions were behind Congressional Redistricting in #Florida, you can't tell me it hasn't really backfired in #FLCD22.

The level of disregard for party unity from anyone entering a race now against the early and timely declared candidates does nothing but literally sow division and confusion between local REC / DEC. These committees have been blindsided and restricted proper guidance or assistance from statewide leadership.

Hypothetically, anyone who can't retain a County Commission seat against someone in their own party should be publicly questioned by committee as to what would even remotely make them more qualified to challenge their opposite party for a superior U.S. Congressional seat.

He has already created enough problems by allowing “Top Secret” information to be released and exposed based on a ridiculous lawsuit started by a highly litigious woman (serial plaintiff!) whose “strolling,” in her opinion, will be disturbed by the new, desperately needed structure – In any event, a woman who has absolutely no STANDING! With the advent of highly sophisticated, and powerful, modern day weaponry, we can no longer defend Washington, D.C., with rifles and pistols, alone.

In November, Floridians will have to choose between a 5th generation Floridian who has devoted her career to supporting law enforcement and promoting policies that lead to prosperity or whichever open border, defund the police liberal Democrats choose.

While they’re focused on campaigning, I am bringing home more than $1.5 Billion for our storm ravaged communities and fighting federal bureaucracy to ensure more Freedom for Floridians.
