Florida Politics, Property Taxes & the Road to 2026

Top of Mind Florida by BRIAN CROWLEY & MICHAEL WILLIAMS

Episode notes

Florida’s affordability crisis collides with the 2026 governor’s race as Michael Williams and Brian Crowley unpack the rising push to reduce—or even eliminate—property taxes in Florida.

What’s real policy and what’s political theater? What happens to essential services if the cuts happen?

The discussion broadens to the fast-shifting governor’s race field, pocketbook pressures across Florida, storm devastation in Jamaica, Haiti, and Cuba, and rising U.S.–Venezuela tensions affecting South Florida families.

Plus, Brian reflects on the 2000 election recount 25 years later, and the hosts dig into America’s growing struggle with misinformation and trustworthy news in the AI era.
