This is a conservative think tanks opinion. 🤦♂️
The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but beautiful when it comes to fiscal responsibility. It’s a likely $6 trillion price tag once you account for interest costs, inevitable extensions, and the fiscal fallout of immigration crackdowns.👇 cato.org/blog/senates-b…
I've been pushing back on this obsession with the misguided approach to using roadway Level of Service (LOS) to make all local determinations, from growth to the use of taxpayer dollars for needless widening at the expense of a quality of life. As this article states: "A status…

While this is better than nothing; we don’t need to audit the @federalreserve. We need to End the Fed and be done with manipulating markets and monetary policy for political reasons.

Come on man. You’re @POTUS. The leader of the most powerful country in the world. You can’t be this unhinged this often. Tomorrow @realDonaldTrump will announce a 50% tariff on anyone asking about the Epstein file.
Second #RUNMANATEE 5k in the books! A lot of heat and a lot of sand running on the beach this evening at Coquina! 🏖️ Great turn out for yet another sold out race. The @ManateeGov Sports & Leisure team is doing an amazing job with this series. 🏃♂️💨 See you November 22 at Rye…
“In other words, a NIMBY lawsuit challenging a slightly more liberal zoning code has resulted in complete zoning abolition.” 🤣🤣🤣 I support this!

Multimodal streets aren't "communism". They're good math.

Commissioners Siddique and Kruse represented Manatee County at the #FAC2025 conference this week. 👏 Siddique is now a Certified County Commissioner 👏 Kruse completed the Advanced County Commissioner program Proud to see our leaders continuing to grow and serve.
Last week I attended our annual @flcounties (FAC) conference to discuss local issues with commissioners and stakeholders from throughout the State of Florida. It's an amazing organization and I've learned a lot over the years that I've tried to bring back to #ManateeCounty. This…

If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.
The @myflhouse and @FLSenate have the funds to study this…so do it. Pretending this isn’t a major policy/fiscal issue is political malpractice. We need research and a plan, not the Governor’s “let’s wing it and hope for the best” strategy. Florida deserves better.

“In Washington over the last few years, it's become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species. “It underscores the greatest form of hypocrisy in American…
Unfortunately, yesterday, without the usual photo ops and fanfare, the Governor signed the destructive #SB180 into law. What was otherwise a very solid bill to manage post-storm emergencies was hijacked as a trojan horse to carry this terrible language pushed by a single…
