Fort Lauderdale City Commission · City Commission Joint Workshop with BAB and Conference Meeting on 2026-06-16 1:00 PM - Jun 16, 2026 · 16 Jun 2026 meeting

And Michael Rainier, who's a community activist who, while lives in Wilton Manors, is sort of known, I think, throughout Broward County.

He and Senator Osgood and Senator Smith, and actually a bipartisan group of senators as well as a bipartisan...

TRUMBLE AND OTHERS AS WELL AS IN THE HOUSE, A BIPARTISAN GROUP.

WE GOT TOGETHER BECAUSE THE SURGEON GENERALS CUT ADAPT VERY QUICKLY.

THIS IS WHAT REPLAMARKA WAS SAYING, HOW WE CAN PIVOT.

NONE OF US THOUGHT ABOUT ADAPT IN JANUARY OR DECEMBER, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO PIVOT.

So I think that's the nimbleness that I appreciate in my colleagues across the aisle and obviously in the Senate as well as in the House.

So we're able to restore a good amount of funding.

It's not perfect, but we were able to get $75 million for next year.

Two items that we did not get to pass that were co-sponsored because affordability is an important issue for all of us, whether we're red, blue, or purple, is affordability.

One of the bills I co-sponsored that was not passed was about property insurance.

I'll leave property taxes alone because you're all going to discuss that, I think, later this afternoon, and there's a lot of conversation on that.

But we didn't have any meaningful legislation passed on property insurance.

One bill that I didn't sponsor but co-sponsored, Rep Skidmore sponsored it, was a bill to have Florida join

A NATIONAL RISK POOL.

THERE'S ALREADY A NUMBER OF STATES IN THIS, SO THE MORE PEOPLE THAT JOIN ACROSS THE STATES, WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY HURRICANES, BUT KENTUCKY HAS TORNADOES AND CALIFORNIA HAS EARTHQUAKES.

SO IF WE CAN JOIN A NATIONAL RISK POOL, WE SPREAD THE RISK.

I KNOW PROPERTY TAXES ARE CERTAINLY A CONCERN FOR FOLKS, BUT A LOT OF US, WHAT I HEAR CERTAINLY IS THAT PROPERTY INSURANCE IS EVEN MORE OF AN AFFORDABILITY ISSUE.

So I'll just keep that brief for today.

You've heard from all of us.
