Florida is growing fast, but is Tallahassee thinking fast enough? On today's episode of the "Money" Market Podcast, former State Senator Jeff Brandes breaks down why Florida keeps waiting for crises instead of planning ahead, and how that mindset is costing residents real money. From skyrocketing insurance premiums and uninsured drivers to housing shortages, land-use failures, and the myth of eliminating property taxes, Brandes pulls no punches. He explains why you're "driving until you qualify" for a mortgage, why throwing money at housing won't fix the problem, and how bad public policy quietly raises everyone's costs. This conversation also dives into future-proofing Florida's power grids, transportation, and mobility, and why housing is the state's biggest ticking time bomb. Brandes tackles the uncomfortable topics politicians avoid: prisons, staffing shortages, and public safety. If you care about where Florida is headed and how policy decisions hit your wallet, this is a must-listen.   WATCH NEXT: THE COLUMNIST WHO WROTE TAMPA'S HEARTBEAT https://youtu.be/HFcsMfkImwY SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz_7yNs7dOuyKApAkohqJIQ   Follow The "Money" Market Podcast here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e7E0DaJZQkuw339G7nGI4?si=27d047641a1d4b17 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-market-podcast/id1733948143 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymarketpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneymarketpodcast Website: https://moneymarketpodcast.com   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

People had barely even begun picking up their lives after Hurricane Helene two weeks ago when Milton hit the Gulf Coast. A day after Hurricane Milton slammed into the Gulf Coast, Florida Matters heard from people across the greater Tampa Bay region about the storm's impact and the recovery ahead. Milton made landfall Wednesday night as a Category 3 hurricane near Siesta Key, just south of Sarasota, with dangerous storm surge, damaging wind and flooding rain. Millions across the state were still without power as first responders continued to rescue people stranded by floodwaters and assess the damage. For many, Hurricane Milton is a life-changing event, and Florida Matters opened the phones to hear people share their experiences of the storm and ask questions about what's next for recovery and restoration from our panel of reporters and expert guests. Among the voices you'll hear are WUSF reporters Stephanie Colombini, Kerry Sheridan, and Gabriella Paul, former FEMA director Craig Fugate, chair of the University of South Florida's Psychology Department, Dr. Judith Bryant, Axios senior climate change reporter Andrew Freedman, University of South Florida College of Public Health instructor in Global Disaster Management, Humanitarian Relief and Homeland Security Elizabeth Dunn, former state senator Jeff Brandes, and Pinellas County Public Information Manager David Connor.

Rogue Republican former FL Sen. Jeff Brandes, founder of The Florida Policy Project, joined us on MidPoint for a wide-ranging discussion on the recent FL legislative session, laws passed and missed opportunities, along with his current project, the Florida Policy Project, which he founded to provide policy suggestions based on data and best practices to solve some of Florida's most difficult problems.

Legislative priorities for lawmakers in Tallahassee this year include increasing the number of health care providers in Florida and clamping down on children's social media use. Although the state legislative session is almost half over, there's still more work ahead for lawmakers before they can pass a budget. On this episode, we get a progress report on some of the biggest proposals from political journalist William March and Jeff Brandes, former state senator and founder of the Florida Policy Project, a non-partisan research institute. Brandes and March talk about bills that could erode the rights of local governments to make decisions on the environment, development, and cultural issues like what flags to fly over government buildings. They also discuss the issues that aren't really being addressed, including housing and homeowners insurance.

Jeff Brandes makes his second appearance on the Freedom To Rise podcast, but his first after ending a 12-year run in Tallahassee. The former senator and state representative from St. Petersburg has launched the Florida Policy Project, a policy bank (don't call it a think tank) to continue tackling some of the state's most pressing issues.

In this episode: Before Ron DeSantis was elected governor of Florida, the state and some of its local communities passed a series of laws that were supposed to reduce the influence of money in politics. But DeSantis has rolled back many of those reforms — from a local ordinance that tried to keep Super PACs out of city elections to a state law that made it harder for Florida politicians to hide their donors from the public. It's become a major legacy for DeSantis, who is now running for U.S. President: More money for politicians, and less transparency for voters.

In this episode: Nearly 60 percent of voters in Orlando, Fla., just passed a referendum calling for rent control in one of the most unaffordable housing markets in the country. But they're probably not going to get it. That's because Florida leaders have passed a landlord-friendly state law that blocks cities and counties from enacting local rent control. Meanwhile, lobbyists for everyone from real-estate developers to Walt Disney World have used state politicians to prevent local voters from making changes on everything from worker benefits to water pollution.
