"FLORIDA IS A FREE STATE"

"While so many around the country have consigned the people's rights to the graveyard, Florida has stood as freedom's vanguard. Florida has stood strong as The Rock of Freedom ... and it's upon this rock that we must build Florida's future"

Volusia/Flagler send 'The Magnificent 7' to Tallahassee.

Seven lawmakers representing Volusia and Flagler counties are headed to Tallahassee on Tuesday to consider bills, hammer out a budget and shape state government over the next year. The four representatives and three senators representing the area are all Republicans.

Rep. Paul Renner*and Rep. Tom Leek, representing Volusia Co, are in high-ranking leadership roles. They will have a significant hand in what moves through the House. (*Renner will succeed current Speaker of the House Chris Sprowls after the 2022 legislative session)

Rep. Elizabeth Fetterhoff, who represents a district spanning DeLand and mainland Daytona Beach, is proposing to address a problem homeowners and home sellers are having with getting timely septic-system inspections.

"Right now there is a backlog of inspections, either because of manpower or COVID, so why not cut red tape by allowing a private provider to be hired at the cost of the homeowner?"

Rep. Webster Barnaby, R-Deltona, introduced legislation banning abortions when physicians can hear what Barnaby terms a "fetal heartbeat," usually around 6 weeks. Texas enacted a similar law last year. 

It's a fight Barnaby and other abortion opponents are primed to have as the U.S. Supreme Court reconsiders the 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent legalizing abortions.  

"I've been pro-life all of my political career and as an ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, That's my stand and That's where I stand." 

Senators pitch sweeping, pro-business changes

Sen. Tom Wright, of New Smyrna Beach, represents southeast Volusia as well as northern Brevard County — the Space Coast.

He has proposed the bill with perhaps the snappiest title, the "Zero G, Zero Fee" act, which would exempt certain spaceport users from fees or charges while transporting a space vehicle or equipment.

Sen. Travis Hutson, of St. Augustine, has proposed a way to support businesses who've been harmed by local or county ordinances.

"We've seen local governments who want to ban sunscreen (for environmental purposes), or communities attempt to stop cruise ships from docking, or when a city dramatically reduces hours when a bar can operate."

Sen. Jason Brodeur, who represents Seminole County and a chunk of southwest Volusia, filed 34 bills as of Thursday, proposing, among other things:

  • requiring a state inventory of critical wetlands
  • barring foreign nationals from making political contributions
  • establishing "education recovery scholarship accounts" to help children who missed 10 or more days of public school

"They are gonna take this .. and smear anyone who has ever supported Donald Trump"

In typical leftist form the J6 events are now being compared to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11, 2021, terrorist attacks by the Biden administration.   However, before the day’s insufferable events began, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was asked his opinion of what would take place.  DeSantis rightly noted this is Christmas Day for the DC system; they have been preparing for this day for almost a year.  WATCH:

2022 growth outlook: Volusia County BOOM

In 2022, the county is expected to see construction finally begin on the first phase of Avalon Park Daytona Beach, a 10,000-home community planned along the south side of State Road 40/West Granada Boulevard, a mile west of I-95, in Daytona Beach. While Avalon Park Daytona Beach is the biggest of the residential projects set to get underway in Volusia County in 2022, dozens more are already under construction or getting ready to break ground.

The county is also poised to see more big commercial projects, including a further build-out of the Portland Industrial Park along the east side of I-4 in Deltona, where Amazon opened a 1.4 million-square-foot distribution center in September 2020. The e-commerce giant plans to build a massive 2.8 million-square-foot distribution center just south of Daytona International Speedway and the main runway for Daytona Beach International Airport. The center is slated to create 1,000 full-time jobs.

The Southeast Volusia Manufacturing & Technology Coalition recently held a forum in New Smyrna Beach where a number of local experts including an official with Space Florida spoke about how that portion of the county could be primed to attract suppliers to the growing commercial space industry in neighboring Brevard County.

An Ohio developer recently broke ground on a new Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic on Williamson Boulevard, just south of Daytona State College's Advanced Technology College. The project is the latest addition to Daytona Beach's fast-growing LPGA area where developers are also planning new retail centers as well as more apartments and a rental home community called The Cottages at Daytona Beach.

Through the first three quarters of 2021, builders pulled a total of 3,350 building permits for new homes in Volusia County, a 33% increase compared to the 2,511 permits issued during the same time period the previous year.

One of the planned retail centers is Tymber Creek Village, which will be located across from the entrance to the Jimmy Buffett-themed Latitude Margaritaville 55-and-older community. Latitude Margaritaville led the way in new home construction for Volusia County in 2021 and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Daytona Beach-based ICI Homes also continues to build new homes both at its Plantation Bay community in north Voiusia County and south Flagler County, as well as its Woodhaven and Brown's Landing communities in Port Orange. ICI also recently began selling house lots at a new community across the street from Brown's Landing called The Estates at Brown's Landing.

"Florida's going to continue to grow. Sooner or later, rising (home) prices (and construction costs) will slow things down but not in 2022. There's a lot of projects that will be coming out of the ground in the New Year".. said G.G. Galloway, a commercial Realtor with Coldwell Banker Commercial Benchmark in Ormond Beach.

4/20 thru 7/21 - The South picked up 959,222 new residents.

SourceThe Yankee Institute

  • The West gained 78,562 .. while the Northeast lost 449,310 residents and the Midwest declined 144,010.  
  • New York lost 365,336 people in total. California and Illinois also topped the lists for total population loss.

Texas (170,307) and Florida (220,890) had the greatest population increase from domestic migration. Both states have majority Republican leadership and have overtly refused draconian COVID measures.

According to Florida Economic Development Council, New Yorkers are moving to Florida because Florida’s schools have been open. Domestic migrants from other states note the lack of jobs, income, affordable housing, and restrictions throughout America’s Democratic-run cities are why so many people are choosing to make Florida their home.

.

While 2020/21 is not the first year revealing a migratory shift away from typically Democratic-run areas, the latest data confirms how despite record-low polling data, rising crime, taxes, and inflation, Democrat Party politicians have yet to make any significant changes to their platforms to stop the rot.

The shift from blue states to red has caused some consternation amongst conservatives, who worry the migratory patterns will turn red states purple, or even blue, in the longer term.
