Governor DeSantis Declines to Appeal Property Tax Amendment Ruling, Initiates Rewrite

Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Florida will not appeal a Leon County judge's ruling that invalidated the title and ballot summary language of a proposed property tax amendment. The amendment, known as Amendment 3, aims to increase the non-school homestead exemption and reduce the cap on assessment increases for non-homestead properties. The ruling, which found the language misleading, has prompted a rewrite overseen by Attorney General James Uthmeier. DeSantis expressed confidence in the new draft, emphasizing its clarity and the tax relief it promises to voters.

Air Force Airman Rescues Elderly Driver from Burning Car on Highway 98

An Air Force special operations airman, Senior Airman Dalton Clark, demonstrated quick thinking and bravery when he rescued an elderly driver from a burning vehicle on Highway 98 near Hurlburt Field, Florida. On July 25, 2026, while stuck in traffic, Clark noticed smoke and flames coming from a car on the westbound shoulder.

Clark managed to pull the man to safety just moments before the car was completely engulfed in flames. His actions were influenced by a personal tragedy, as he had lost a friend in a similar incident the previous year.

Florida Groups Advocate for Utility Reform Amid Rising Electric Bills

Florida Groups Advocate for Utility Reform Amid Rising Electric Bills

In Florida, community groups are advocating for utility reform as residents face significant increases in electric bills. According to reports, the average annual cost for customers has risen by over $900, more than triple the rate of inflation. This increase is attributed to rate hikes approved by the Public Service Commission for investor-owned utilities like Tampa Electric, Duke Energy, and Florida Power and Light. The rising costs have prompted protests and calls for reform, as many Floridians struggle with some of the highest electricity bills in the nation. The groups argue that current utility practices prioritize corporate interests over consumer protection, leading to financial strain for households.
