Florida Inc Taking Control

"St. Petersburg is a city making incredible progress, attracting entrepreneurs, millennials, businesses and new residents every day. I believe part of that is due to the City Council’s common sense local ordinances that reflect our community’s values.  But lawmakers in Tallahassee have decided they know best, and routinely prevent cities and counties from passing local laws that our citizens want."

----------
Florida is home to two cities of 20 major cities in the world (yes, the world) who are most vulnerable to rising sea levels. $670 million in FEMA cuts put us in danger during our unpredictable hurricane seasons.
----------
