Episode Details

The Orange County Commission District Two race heads to a November runoff, pitting former state Rep. Kamia Brown against incumbent Mike Crabb — a pivotal showdown under new district lines that could reshape county priorities on water, traffic, housing, and property taxes. Both agree protecting the Wekiva River basin is non-negotiable, but diverge on solutions: Crabb champions tech-driven traffic fixes, while Brown pushes for transit education and affordable housing near public transport. A major flashpoint? Amendment 3, which could slash county revenue by $165 million in 2027 and $275 million in 2028. Brown calls it a deceptive “tax shift,” urging state lawmakers to act first; Crabb warns of dire budget gaps threatening public safety and infrastructure, especially fire services. This election could redefine how Orange County navigates growth and fiscal responsibility.
