WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL-03) announced significant progress for the future of the McGriff Channel, also known as ‘Wadley Pass,’ where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Suwannee River in Dixie County, Florida.

Mid-last year, Rep. Cammack secured the votes for inclusion of McGriff Channel in the 2024 Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). In December of last year, Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) included the matching provision in the Senate year-end package. This measure secured a federally required economic impact study by the Army Corps of Engineers for the McGriff Channel, which is a necessary step to keep the project moving. This move follows the 2021 study, which concluded that dredging was not economically feasible and no action could be taken. Continue reading →

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Representatives Kat Cammack and Greg Steube reintroduced their plan to expand access to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for five million lower-income Americans.

The Affordable Care and Comprehensive Economic Support through Savings Act (ACCESS Act) empowers individuals by giving them the option to receive direct contributions to an HSA instead of relying on reduced cost-sharing under government-controlled health insurance exchanges. This commonsense reform removes bureaucratic restrictions imposed by the ACA, allowing individuals to take control of their health care dollars and use them as they see fit.

“Access to affordable care has diminished over the past decade, as the prices of medical care have skyrocketed and provider networks have shrunk,” said Rep. Cammack. “But with money in an HSA, you can obtain the personalized services you need, and see the doctors you trust, even if they’re not covered by your health insurance plan. For working families in my district and across the country this option is a lifesaver and will give many the flexibility to afford visits and procedures they may not be able to otherwise. I am proud to introduce the ACCESS Act today for many reasons, but mostly because it provides more access and more freedom for families whose health care needs aren’t being met by government-controlled health care programs.” Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—The Florida Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution secured a 5-year prison sentence for a Romanian crime ring member. Vasile Bricage stole more than $38,000 in smartphones and other items from six Walmart locations across five Florida counties — all within the span of six days.

Acting Attorney General John Guard said, “This member of a Romanian crime ring targeted Walmart locations spanning five Florida counties — causing more than $38,000 in losses. Now, thanks to our Statewide Prosecutors, he will pay for his crimes.”

Vasile Bricage, working alongside co-defendant Antonio Briceag and two unknown female accomplices, stole smartphones and other items from Walmart locations in Citrus, Okaloosa, Pinellas, Santa Rosa and Sarasota counties. In several cases, Bricage and his accomplices entered the stores and proceeded to the electronics department. Then, members of the group would distract employees or act as lookouts while using an unknown implement to defeat the anti-theft devices at the phone display.

In one Citrus County incident, the group used a different strategy. Bricage, after browsing the electronics department, proceeded to the hardware section of the store and selected a black crowbar. The defendant then went back to the electronics department and pried two locked phone cabinets open, and the group stole 26 iPhones — valued at more than $22,000. The damage to the cabinets totaled more than $1,600. Continue reading →

How does this happen? First he or she was not elected by the American Voter and should not have anything to say about the Federal Government. An appointed Judge not elected, from a state, stops the Federal investigation of the United States. That can’t be what our forefathers meant when they appointed judges many years a ago. Now they think they can OVER REACH and dictated to the whole United States. District judges should address matters for their district they are in. Federal judges should be elected by Congress or the people. When politician’s try to stop Elon Musk you need to ask “ WHY?” I think it’s because they will be exposed. They need to get exposed. Elon is following the money! Elon Musk team is looking for efficiencies on how to save our tax money. When he finds a way to save money he turns it over to the President and The President and his team make the decisions. Elon Musk team is just an auditor to see how the money is being spent or laundered. Elon Musk team just show how to save money or efficiency. Please Elon save our tax money!

MEET JAMES UTHMIEIGov. DeSantis sworn in his new Attorney General to take Ashley Moody place.

Unlawful emigration has been in the news for a long time and some have asked me how will the FAIRtax help or hinder the control of illegals flooding into our country. Perhaps I can explain how it will help stem the flow of illegals. Remember, the FAIRtax REPLACES the federal income tax and payroll tax system with a national retail sales tax plus a prebate which makes spending up to the poverty level tax free.

This means that those living at or below the poverty level will pay the FAIRtax rate of zero percent. A person spending twice the poverty level would pay a spending tax rate of 11.5%, a person spending three times the poverty level would pay an effective rate of 17.3%, and so on. Your tax rate is determined by you and by how you spend. The FAIRtax will, for the first time, tax undocumented workers who now evade the income and payroll taxes.

Under the FAIRtax, all persons living in the United states will pay taxes, whether they are here legally or illegally. Under the current system, many illegals do not pay income and payroll taxes even though they are here earning wages and are legally required to do so. They may also be receiving benefits in the form of health care, education, housing, roads and much more.

Under the FAIRtax, both lawful and unlawful residents will pay taxes when they purchase new goods and services for consumption here; however, only lawful residents are eligible to receive the FAIRtax prebate which effectively eliminates taxes on spending up to the poverty level. Unlawful residents will be paying a rate of 23 cents on every dollar they spend since they are not eligible for the prebate.

The only way to get the prebate is to become a legal resident or citizen. In this way, the FAIRtax helps promote legal emigration. It also ensures that unlawful residents contribute to the cost of providing the services they receive. For more,information please go to FAIRtax.org

JUNO BEACH, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced updates on Florida’s efforts to restore the Everglades and enhance the supply and quality of the state’s water resources, unveiling key budget recommendations for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The Governor also highlighted Florida’s commitment to work with the incoming Trump Administration to accelerate the completion of critical Everglades restoration projects by garnering authority over the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in an effort designed to save both time and taxpayer dollars.

“I’m proud to keep advancing these efforts in Everglades restoration and water quality, which will have lasting benefits to our state for years to come,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “I promised to leave Florida better than we found it, and we’re keeping that promise for future generations.”

“Floridians understand the Everglades better than anyone else. We live, work and recreate here, and we are committed to the land that sustains this,” said Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Alexis A. Lambert. “Florida has the experience, urgency and determination to get the job done. We have proven our ability to manage restoration projects efficiently.” Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis and First Lady Casey DeSantis established the Hope Florida Office within the Executive Office of the Governor to oversee and administer the growing Hope Florida Pathway to Prosperity Initiative. Established in 2021, Hope Florida is a first-of-its-kind initiative that maximizes support from community partners outside government—predominantly non-profits, faith-based organizations, and private sector business partners. Utilizing a personalized navigation model, Floridians seeking government assistance are provided a Hope Navigator who utilizes those aforementioned entities to meet immediate needs and guide them on a Pathway to economic self-sufficiency. In fact, Hope Florida has already led to more than 30,000 Floridians decreasing or eliminating reliance on public assistance. Estimates show that Hope Florida could save taxpayers nearly $1 billion dollars over the next 10 years. Under the Hope Florida model, government serves as a convener and collaborator between good people who need help and good people, outside of government, who are willing to help. Government is uniquely positioned to make the connection and thus reduce its role in assisting people in need, while also providing preventative navigation that aims to prevent Floridians from reentering or becoming dependent on the “government system.”  Continue reading →
