TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Attorney General James Uthmeier announced a major legal challenge against the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), accusing the federal agency of illegally blocking the development of advanced nuclear technologies—technologies that could revolutionize energy production in America.

“For decades, Washington has made promises about nuclear energy—but then throws up roadblocks when real innovation comes along,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “Florida is done waiting. We’re taking action to unleash the full potential of safe nuclear technology, strengthen our energy independence, and secure cleaner water and air in our state.”

With its rapidly growing population and increasing electricity demand, Florida faces significant challenges in meeting the energy needs of its residents. Last year, Governor DeSantis signed HB 1645, which directs the Public Service Commission to study the feasibility of using advanced nuclear technologies, including small modular reactors (SMRs), to meet the state’s power needs.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Attorney General James Uthmeier issued a subpoena to Roblox, a popular online gaming platform, demanding information about how the platform markets to children, sets age-verification requirements, and moderates chat rooms.

“As a father and Attorney General, children’s safety and protection are a top priority,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier. “There are concerning reports that this gaming platform, which is popular among children, is exposing them to harmful content and bad actors. We are issuing a subpoena to Roblox to uncover how this platform is marketing to children and to see what policies they are implementing—if any—to avoid interactions with predators.”

There are numerous concerning reports about children being exposed to graphic or harmful material on the gaming platform, as well as predatory adults being able to message minors on the app freely. The Attorney General’s subpoena also demands Roblox to hand over documents related to the platform’s collection and processing of children’s data. Continue reading →

Marion County Republican Executive Committee (MCREC) opposition to CS/ SB 1080 (Reconsideration Attempt)

Seems to be an enormous amount of opposition to SB1080 in our communities through out our State, and even after it failed in final committee, there seems to be a move internally to reconsider the bill.

It is with some level of dismay and disappointment that the will of the electorate of the Marion County Republican Party is being ignored by this Bill’s sponsor.  The Senator again is pushing for passage, despite a  public “No” decision  by the legislature, as well as prior numerous letters from a number of County Republican organizations.   Some of the key factors are noted below, what is most distressing is the disregard of a legislator to support the will of the people.

So the following is our opinion on why we opposed the bill and the following is what we addressed to each Senator. Make up your own minds because this bill is not dead yet.

On behalf of the Marion County Republican Executive Committee (MCREC), representing more than 130,000 registered Republican voters we strongly oppose this bill and recent amendment. Continue reading →

“I’m thrilled to have relocated our Ocala District Office back to its original location in the McPherson Government Complex,” said Rep. Cammack. “Centrally located with other useful local and state offices for constituents in Marion County, our office is a one-stop shop for folks seeking assistance with federal agencies, including the VA, Social Security Administration, and IRS, along with economic development opportunities, internships for local students, and more. Our team continues to deliver the same excellent service we always have in this new location. We hope constituents will visit us soon in-person or contact us via phone at (352) 421-9052.”

The Ocala District Office is located at 2630 SE 3rd Street, Ocala, FL 34471 and is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. No appointments are necessary to visit with staff.

You may remember the IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn who stole and leaked federal income tax returns and was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Some thought that five years was too lenient while others thought he should not have been prosecuted at all since they believe that Mr. Littlejohn performed a valuable public service by showing how much the wealthiest Americans pay in taxes. The IRS said that 70,000 taxpayer returns were leaked but recently the IRS sent a letter to House Judiciary Committee Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, admitted that the true number was not 70,000 but actually 405,427 taxpayers, 89 percent were business entities.

So how can we prevent this from happening again? There is only one way – Repeal the income tax and abolish the IRS. If the government doesn’t HAVE your confidential data, they can’t LEAK your confidential data. Like an old car, there comes a point when it costs more to repair it than it is worth. Unfortunately, the system is so badly broken that no matter how much we spend to “fix” the IRS and income tax, it will remain a corrupt and broken system. Continue reading →

Florida is even more prepared for NASA to move its HQ to the Space Coast

TITUSVILLE, Fla.—Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the early completion of the NASA Causeway Bridge in Brevard County, delivering the second of two bridges six months ahead of schedule. The new bridge will officially open to traffic as soon as Wednesday, March 19.

The new, taller, and wider bridges stretch 4,025 feet over the Indian River and, as fixed spans, eliminate the need for drawbridge openings. This upgrade also supports the increasing volume and size of payloads and space industry vehicles traveling through the region’s growing high-tech aerospace corridor. With the opening of the new bridge, traffic will transition to its final configuration—westbound vehicles will utilize the newly completed bridge, while the existing bridge will be dedicated exclusively to eastbound traffic. This $128 million project was made possible through a strong partnership between FDOT, NASA, and Space Florida. Continue reading →
