Florida Legislature 2026 Ends Without Budget or Property Tax Cuts – Special Session Coming | Trump’s Epic Iran Surprise Quip to Japan PM + HD 87 Special Election | Florida's Voice

we unpack the chaotic end of the 2026 Florida legislative session: lawmakers adjourned without passing the state budget or a major property tax relief plan (despite House efforts to eliminate non-school homestead taxes), forcing a special session in April. Rep. Tom Fabricio (District 110) joins to discuss his bill (HB 841) to eliminate yellow validation stickers on license plates—saving taxpayers ~$24M annually via electronic verification—but it stalled in the Senate due to tax collector pushback. He vows to revive it next year.Plus:

• Rep. Danny Alvarez (District 69) breaks down the session's wins (like the farm bill conserving rural lands), the need for a counter-terror intel team after McDill AFB threats, and why Florida must defend itself amid national security gaps.
• Hillsborough School Board candidate Brittany Lissy shares her platform: fiscal responsibility (scrutinizing no-bid contracts), parental involvement in curriculum, school safety, and rejecting political ideology in classrooms.
• President Trump’s blunt Oval Office exchange with Japan’s PM: defending surprise in Iran strikes with a viral "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" quip. Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent warns of Iran regime collapse from within amid defections and sanctions.
• Urgent Florida House District 87 special election (March 24): Trump-endorsed Republican Jon Maples vs. Democrat Emily Gregory—highlighting her anti-ICE vigil support and family deportation story vs. Maples' tough-on-crime stance.
