Sr. Director of Advocacy @AARPFL. Soaking up sun, politics and culture. Comments my own. RTs = interest.

Great to connect with @SenAshleyMoody today to discuss issues impacting Floridians 50+. @AARPFL appreciates her leadership on protecting older adults from fraud and scams, an issue that continues to threaten financial security and peace of mind. #AARPOnTheHill

@Kat_Cammack 1) The cost of health care (hospital or ER visits, procedures, medical supplies, etc.) is out of control. 2) Medical billing, coding & practices drive costs up while cause consumer confusion. 3) Rx prices in the US are insanely high compared to other countries with similar GDPs.

@Floridianpress Stop investor owners from buying up multiple homes in the same community. They do not care about the maintenance of the home or property.

[Zayne Smith @pitch22]

@JuanPorrasFL Stop investor owners from buying multiple houses in neighborhoods. Investor (or out-of-state) owners do not care about the maintenance of the house or property & it shows. Manatee County is getting inundated with this issue.

@insideFPL’s settlement sticks everyday residential customers with the bill while big business cuts deals. @AARPFL backs Sen. Gaetz’s reforms to bring back transparency + accountability. We’ll keep fighting for consumers. @pitch22 https://t.co/SXHvBEIy2N

Driving in Florida is like playing Russian roulette with your wallet.
One in five drivers has no insurance. Many more are dangerously underinsured.
You follow the rules. They don’t.
But when they crash into you, you pay.
And the state built the system to work exactly like that. 🧵

🧵Imagine paying $27,000 in impact fees to build your home. Then, every year after, you’re taxed on that $27,000 again.
This is #Florida, where we’ve turned impact fees into an endless tax loop. @GovRonDeSantis @Sen_Albritton @FLSenate @Daniel_PerezFL @myflhouse
