A pair of stories begin our day as the House has passed aid for Israel that would take funding from the Inflation Reduction Act intended for the IRS. The Democrats don’t like the idea and the president says he’ll veto it if it did pass. At the same time, he’s announced a “national strategy’ to combat Islamophobia. No wonder American policy confuses the world.
We’ll move closer to home with an Orlando Sentinel story about things to love and hate about our region. We’ll focus on the latter. Senator Rick Scott has joined D-33 in coming out against Governor DeSantis in favor of President Trump. Sheriff Ivey has been cleared in ethics complaints over the 2022 election. The reason is not what you may think. There’s an update that’s not an update when it comes to the Bryan Lober misuse of county funds investigation.
In our final hour Representative Tyler Sirois will join us with a look at the Brevard delegation meeting and look ahead at the legislature’s special session.
