Florida AG Uthmeier Revises Property Tax Amendment Language Following Court Ruling

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has revised the language of a proposed property tax amendment after a judge deemed the original wording misleading. The amendment, initially titled 'Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes,' has been renamed 'Increased Homestead Exemption, Lower Cap on Increases in Non-Homestead Property Assessments.' The revision follows the judge's directive to make the language clearer before it can be placed on the ballot. Uthmeier emphasized that the amendment's summary and title were adjusted in accordance with the court's ruling, without altering the amendment's substance.

Documentary on Ron DeSantis' Influence at Florida College Set for Theatrical Release

The documentary 'First They Came for My College' is set for a theatrical release, highlighting a right-wing 'coup' at a Florida liberal arts school led by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.
