Artificial intelligence is still a relatively new technology. Still more and more people are using it to answer questions or look up information. Bob Paxton, a FAIRtax advocate in Ocala, is a former radio personality as well as a retired computer programmer. He is the founder of FAIRtax Power Radio, a weekly podcast and video stream, who decided to ask three separate AI application services to compare the current income/payroll tax system to the FAIRtax and then choose which system they would like to live under if they were a typical American taxpayer. Not surprisingly, all three chose the FAIRtax. Below are some excerpts that Bob received from those inquiries.

CoPilot:

“If I were an American taxpayer weighing the income tax system against the FAIRtax, I’d lean toward the FAIRtax – for some compelling reasons, though without caveats, if you’re someone who values economic freedom, simplicity and transparency, the FAIRtax is attractive. But if you prioritize stability, predictability and targeted redistribution, the income tax feels safer. Continue reading →

TAMPA, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced more than $112 million in grants to improve water quality and quantity across Florida. The funding includes $50 million in funding to support 14 alternative water supply projects, $50 million in funding to support 23 projects aimed at restoring Florida’s natural freshwater springs, and $12 million for 16 innovative technology projects that will help detect, prevent, and mitigate harmful algal blooms.

“My administration has made historic investments in protecting our water resources,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Florida is a leader in water resource protection, and we will continue to deliver results and act as responsible stewards of our resources.”
“Under Governor DeSantis’ leadership, our decisions are driven by science and long-term stewardship,” said Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Alexis A. Lambert. “The funding announced today will help communities secure reliable water supplies, improve water quality and better respond to environmental challenges. These investments reflect our commitment to protecting the resources that support our economy and our way of life.”

Alternative Water Supply Investments – $50 Million

Governor DeSantis awarded $50 million to support 14 projects that will collectively produce more than 94 million gallons of new water supply per day once fully operational. These projects expand reclaimed water, enhance aquifer recharge, and promote conservation—ensuring Florida’s communities and natural systems have adequate supplies for generations to come.

LOXAHATCHEE, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced proposal to protect puppies in Florida. In partnership with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the state will develop standard practices to ensure ethical dog breeding. Through this proposal, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation will be directed to license dog breeders and hold accountable puppy mills that abuse dogs, whether by overbreeding them, leaving them out in extreme weather, cramming them into small cages, or limiting their access to water.

“In Florida, we will always fight to protect man’s best friend,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “The proposal we announced today will end unethical puppy mills, hold accountable abusive breeders, and help shelter dogs find loving homes.”

Additional proposal actions includes:

• Establishing a hotline for individuals to call and report abuse by breeders to better crack down on these bad actors.
• Requiring pet stores to offer their space to local shelters for adoption before they use that space to sell dogs from puppy mills. As shelters across the state face overcrowding, offering animals for adoption at pet stores will help save them from being euthanized.
• Developing additional legislation that provides for increased penalties for individuals who abuse or torture animals in front of a minor.

THE VILLAGES, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis announced a proposal to protect consumers by establishing an Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights for citizens. Additionally, Governor DeSantis announced a proposal to protect Floridians from footing the bill for Hyperscale AI Data Centers and to empower local governments to reject their development in their communities.

“Today, I proposed new legislation on artificial intelligence and AI data centers to protect Floridians’ privacy, security, and quality of life,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Our AI proposal will establish an Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights to define and safeguard Floridians’ rights—including data privacy, parental controls, consumer protections, and restrictions on AI use of an individual’s name, image or likeness without consent.”

The Artificial Intelligence proposal will establish an AI Bill of Rights to provide consumers with protections.

• Reenact protections Florida has already passed against “deep fakes” and explicit material, including those depicting minors.
• Prohibit any state or local government agency from utilizing DeepSeek or any other Chinese-created AI tools to protect American data.
• Prohibit AI from using an individual’s Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) without their consent – tie it to harm or sale of a product (political ads, schemes to defraud already in law).
• Require a notice to consumers when interacting with AI (Company chatbots).
• Prohibit entities from providing “licensed” therapy or mental health counseling through artificial intelligence. This can be expanded to include use of AI to imitate a licensed professional.
• Provide parental controls for minors which will allow parents to access the conversation their child has with a large language model, set parameters for when the child can access the platform, and notify parents if their child exhibits concerning behavior.
• Ensure data inputted to AI is secure and private.
• Prohibit companies from selling or sharing personal identifying information with third parties (deidentified) and mirror data privacy protections in current law.
• Limit insurance companies from using AI for insurance claims. Require that AI cannot be used as the sole determination in adjusting or denying a claim. Insurers that use AI for claims must detail the use and allow the Office of Insurance Regulation to inspect the AI model to ensure it does not violate unfair insurance trade practices.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— Governor Ron DeSantis awarded $20 million across eight projects through the Biscayne Bay Water Quality Improvement Grant Program to bolster continuing efforts to improve water quality in the bay. The Governor also announced $9.5 million across 11 projects that advance the state’s long-term strategy to restore Florida’s Coral Reef—the only living barrier reef in the continental United States.

“It was great to be in Miami this morning to announce new investments of almost $30 million to improve Biscayne Bay water quality and support the long-term recovery of Florida’s Coral Reef,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “Protecting and restoring Florida’s waterways is essential to our way of life. To-date, my administration has awarded over $3.5 billion to over 1,000 local projects aimed at protecting Florida’s water resources. Now, we are building on those historic investments to ensure that our state’s natural treasures are preserved for generations to come.”

“Biscayne Bay is Florida’s largest estuary and home to an array of important species of plants and wildlife,” said Florida Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Alexis A. Lambert. “By making strategic investments in the bay’s water quality, we are revitalizing waters that support not only our wildlife but also our economy and way of life.”

Governor DeSantis has prioritized revitalizing Biscayne Bay since taking office, and since 2019, the state of Florida has invested $90 million for targeted water quality projects in the bay. Biscayne Bay plays a key role in Florida’s economy and the health of the state’s waters. In 2021, Governor DeSantis signed legislation to expedite water quality improvements to Biscayne Bay. This legislation established the Biscayne Bay Commission, which ensures that objective and sound science informs decision-making regarding the bay. Continue reading →

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott K. H. Bessent, Chair of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), urging swift action to address a Chinese investment that threatens U.S. intellectual property, jobs, and national security. The letter highlights growing concerns surrounding FastWave Medical, a Minnesota-based American startup pioneering laser-based intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) technology—a lifesaving advancement in cardiovascular care with critical dual-use applications in semiconductor manufacturing and precision military systems.

FastWave’s technology is classified under federal export controls as a “critical technology” due to its national-security implications. Yet the company’s future is being jeopardized by Grand Pharmaceutical (GP), a Chinese investor operating through its Hong Kong subsidiary, which has used its veto power to block new U.S. capital investment for more than a year.

“This is exactly how the Chinese Communist Party seeks to gain leverage over American innovation,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “They buy in, block out U.S. investors, and bleed out the company until they can siphon off our intellectual property and take it back to Beijing. We can’t let that happen—not with technologies that save American lives and protect our national security.”

“Grand Pharmaceutical’s actions are preventing a vital U.S. innovation from reaching the patients who need it most,” said Dr. Arthur Lee, an interventional cardiologist based in Gainesville, Florida, and Managing Partner at Epic Venture Partners, an investor in FastWave. “America’s technological leadership, economic security, and the health of millions of citizens are on the line. A U.S. MedTech startup pursuing federally regulated critical technology is being suffocated by a foreign entity with clear connections to the People’s Republic of China. We need CFIUS to act decisively so FastWave can raise investment capital and continue its journey toward delivering life-saving technology to patients here at home.” Continue reading →

Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) released the following statement after House passage of the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), landmark legislation that advances President Trump’s Peace Through Strength agenda and delivers critical support to America’s warfighters, military families, and defense industrial base. The legislation includes Congresswoman Cammack’s amendment to ensure National Guard units have the equipment they need to execute homeland defense missions.

“From strengthening deterrence to rebuilding our industrial base, the FY26 NDAA restores America’s military advantage and ensures our servicemembers have the tools, training, and support they deserve,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “America relies on the National Guard every single day—whether in natural disaster response or homeland defense. They cannot do their jobs without the right equipment, and this provision gives Congress the transparency needed to address these shortfalls and ensure our Guard is fully prepared to meet any mission.”

The FY26 NDAA fulfills several major priorities: Continue reading →
