Children’s services, which are primarily funded through property taxes, are not listed among the core services within the Amendment 3 ballot language, leaving all councils across the state at risk of losing nearly $100 million by the 2027-2028 fiscal year floridatrib.org/2026/09/29/p...

Public school districts will still face financial pressure if Amendment 3 passes
School districts will experience an indirect financial squeeze because programs like summer camps are often funded by agencies that would be affected if voters approve the amendment.

As Trump rambles on about how “dead” the economy was, remember: 2024, under Biden: 1.45 million jobs 2025, under Trump: 181,000 jobs 2024, under Biden: 2.8% GDP growth 2025, under Trump: 2.2% GDP growth The question for the White House is simple: Why did things get worse after Trump returned?

New GDP data falls far short, shows 2025 ended with weak economic growth
In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a nine-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low. It’s worth asking why.
