Episode Details

Florida’s Republican Party is split as voters face two ballot amendments this November: one to slash property taxes—backed by Governor DeSantis—and another to boost the state’s rainy day fund, which he calls “foolish.” While Amendment Three aligns with DeSantis’s tax-cutting agenda, Amendment One would raise the rainy day fund cap from 10% to 25% and mandate annual deposits until full. DeSantis argues Florida already has record surpluses and that funds should instead go toward direct tax relief, like exempting homestead properties or eliminating tolls. With both measures needing 60% approval to pass, Floridians will decide whether to prioritize emergency savings or tax cuts—revealing a major rift within the GOP.
