Hannon City Clerk Ad No. 43801 MOWS RIMIER T 100 0100 HERALD I IA FROM PAGE 1A RENNER the state of Florida? You can look at my record." As speaker between 2022 and 2024 — the crit- ical, national -headline - grabbing years DeSantis was mounting in his presi- dential campaign — Ren- ner helped push through universal private school vouchers; rules barring certain content aboutrace, gender and sexuality from classrooms; and a six -week abortion ban. But he's also running a Republican campaign for governor without the back- ing of either of the two biggest names in Florida politics: DeSantis or Don- ald Trump. After Renner jumped into the race earlier this month, DeSantis called the run "ill-advised." It's a key tension Renner has to navi- gate in a race that will likely be determined in the Re- publican primary, as Demo- crats have been unable to win a statewide race in en years. He's muting against Trump -endorsed Congressman Byron Don- alds. All signs also point to Lt. Gov. jay Collins joining the race with DeSantis' support. Former Congress- man ex -Republican David jolly is the only high - profile Democrat in the race so far. A Navy veteran, former state prosecutor and father of two young kids, Renner promises little difference from DeSantis on policy — despite the cold shoulder from DeSantis on his cam- paign. He supports rolling back vaccine mandates, DeSan- so' use of emergency funds to facilitate mass deporta- tions, and implementing property tax cuts. In a few small departures, however, he said wants to have greater focus on Latin America from the gover- nor's and isin- terested in reining in future govemors' ability to use emergency authority. What follows are ex- changes from Rennei s in- terview with the Herald, edited for brevity and clar- ity. Q: You don't have the endorsement of Trump or DeSantis- You say you're aligned with them. What do you say to voters about why they're not backing you? A: 1 would say that even- tually, the govemor would back me because I was a key architect in the legacy that he talks about.... I've been an architect in the Florida that many voters, certainly Republican vot- er s, love about Florida. I thine voters are going to look at three things. They're going to look at who do you rust, who do ou most trust; who's got actual leadership experi- ce, which you should have in a job as important as governor of the third largest state in the country; and who's delivered re- sults. If you look at those three things, throughout my en- tire life, I've had 20 years in the military, served N two wars, was a state attomey — just up the road here in Broward County — and as a Speaker of the House during two of the most consequen- tial years really in Florida's history, most people would say. B you want to preserve what we have, I helped build it. Ifyou want to solve problems tomorrow, then you go to a guy who's al- ready solved problems and (mows what they are and how to fix them in the fu- ture. Q: Governor DeSantis called your run ill-ad- vised. What do you say to the naysayers? A: That's a question for him. That's a question for him to separate the legacy that we had in two years in the Legislature from his Q: Most of your career has been in central and northeast Florida. What Is your message to voters in Miami? A: As a reservist, I spent several years going down to South America, working through the embassies there, and so I've been all over, Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Chile, and so 1 understand the chal- lenges and the opportuni- ties that we have with our friends in Latin America. It would be a greater focus if I were governor. 1 do speak a decent amount of Spanish. My wife's Colombian and 1 lived in Venezuela for a period of time as well, separate from the military. And so those countries are important to our national security. They're important in the economy of Florida, and so 1 would have a greater focus on the Amer- icas, on a basis as Gov Q: What do you think, from your vantage point of having lived in Vene- zuela, of Trump's for- eign policy actions in Venezuela lately? A: As far as the actions to sink ships that are carry- ing drugs, I'm all for it. Unfortunately, [Nicolas[ Maduro is leading a nation of narco terrorists, and he's the chief in charge of it. And so his govemment is running drugs, and so it's absolutely appropriate for us to take strong action. He has destroyed democ- racy in Venezuela. Q: We've seen some local Republicans, in- cluding out South Flor- Ma members of Con- gress, push back against the Trump adminis- tration on [Temporary Protected Status] pol- icies ... What do you think of the decision to roll back TPS? A: 1'B speak broadly to immigration. We have allowed the immigration situation to become a com- plete disaster. And so I would say if the pendulum is swung out this way, we're gonna get some emergency measures to get our arms around that and at some point then we will return to some immigra- tion policy that looks more like the normal immigra- tion policy. But we need to rut our immigration policy. We have a broken im- migration policy. Q: On TPS specifically, we have a lot of resi- dents here that came, seeking political asylum, came legally with TPS, that are at risk of losing their status overnight. Do you support Trump's decision specifically an TPS? A: The president has,! t of all, the primary responsi- bility of the federal govern- ment in immigration, he has the comprehensive view on unmigradon that 1 don't have, so 1 don't know what all the reasonings are, but 1 support the president's efforts to get control of something that no one has ntroled for decades, frankly, including Repub- licans, to a sufficient extent. I think the President will also probably propose some- thing going forward that makes sense for our legal inunigration because that as well is brokers, because you try to do it the right way and you wait a decade to get into the country. And so,1 trust the president's efforts. I think he's doing a good job on immigration and I sup- port it Q: This state has spent hundreds of millions of dollars building deporta- tion centers. l know they're expecting federal reimbursement, but do you think that's been a good use of emergency funds? And is that some- thing you'd prioritize? A: Whatever the cost is, is far exceeded nationally and even ur state by the cost of years and years of doing absolutely noth- ing, but allowing anybody in without any kind of vetting and that's no way to maintain a country's sovereignty or to protect its citizens. Q: If the federal reim- bursement doesn't hap- pen, should that Mil be a priority for Florida tax- payers? A: Yes, because you're talking about free health- care, free education. I mentioned gang violence, human trafficking Some of those human trafficking victims are people who came toss the border, kids who are being treated horribly. And so all of it needs to end, we need to make sure that immigra- tion comes through legal channels and doesn't take forever and ever to do and figure out what as a coun- try we want in teens of legal immigration and what we don't want. And that's a decision that voters and leadership have to make. Q: Do you think there should be limits to a governor's ability to use emergency authority? What sort of limits would you put on your- self in using emergency powers? A: Where I think there needs to be some reform is in the statute. I think there's some potential for mischief if someone were to declare a climate emergency or a gun -crisis emergency, you ant just name emergen- cy and make it so. In the case of immigration, I do think we have an emergen- cy. l think it's been so mis- handled for so long that the govern was right to initi- ate it. Whether having it today or not is appropriate — I think it is today. Wheth- er it is this time next year or the following year, it de- pends an how successful we are in reigning in the problem As I said, 1 think at some point then it kind of starts to return to .some degree of normality. Q: You'd be open to some kind of legislation around emergency au- thority for governors generally in Florida? A: Yes. In fact, I was going to propose that. It never got off the ground. Q: Do you think the Florida Legislature should roll back vaccine reandates that are al- ady in state law, like, polio, measles, tetanus — should those roll back? A:1 want parents to have full information, l want them to be able to partici- pate with thew pediatrician and have that dialogue, and I think most parents, like me, 1 have a five year old and a three year old, are going to look at vac- s like polio and mea- sles and say, 'That's an important vaccine for me to take.' That's a choice for a parent to make with their physician. And 1 think physicians will point out the benefits of vaccines, which have saved millions of lives, and so I'm in no way, shape or font anti - vaccine. My kids have been vaccinated. But 1 think it's more important that par- ents are in that driver's seat with pediatricians rather than the CDC or the government dictating what they will or won't have. Q: So that's a yes, you would sign a law that removes the mandates? A: Yeah, I don't want the govemment making that decision for parents or doctors, for that matter.... People should use vaccines to save their kid's life and avoid any problems, but the question is whether the government should man- date that and how many your child gets and how soon, and those kinds of things that a parent may say, 'Look, 1 want the vac- cine, but 1 want to spread them out' That would be an example of where avoiding mandates could be beneficial. But I think once you put the pediatrician in the room — and this is the argument that is made on issues like abortion — that it's up to a woman and her physician. Well, isn't that true for vaccines? Many people forget that when they make that argument for a mandate. Q: I know one of your biggest priorities in the Legislature was the so- cial media bi1L What do you see is the future of state -level regulation of big tech? A: We've done it We should move [the mini - um age] to 16. We have 14 and 15, parental con- sent. I'm a big proponent of parental rights. The issue here is, if it's a static thing like a book or a movie, that's a parental right, you decide whether your child is going to watch that movie or part of it or none of it. With social media, you have algo- rithms that are always one step ahead of children, always one step ahead of parents, addictive features that are being putposety used to hack the human brain and keep people on for six, eight haws a day. Politicians overuse the word crisis, but this is an absolute crisis and simply put young children don't have the mental devel- opment to stand up against what Big Tech is throwing at them in the way of using addiction as a business model, and that is exactly what they're doing. Q: As governor, for legislation that you'd like to sign, you men- tioned the age 16. Are there any specific bench- marks that you'd want to prioritize?

Todd a. Hagen LM Csn Act Ab.1aBOr some controls, and the social media platforms have consciously chosen not to do the easy fur which is to end the addic- tion, end that as their busi- es model — which it is, and they know it is — and instead to hide behind the First Amendment. 1 don't believe the First Amend- ment protects addictive features being used, addic- tive technology being used by Big Tech. It does protect content, and our bill doesn't speak at all to good content or bad content. You can say whatever you want, you can be in group chats, you an be on platforms that are not addictive and speak your positions, and your whatever you want to speak to your heart's con- tent, the bill doesn't cover content or the First Amendment protections at all, because I'm the big proponent and big defend- er of the First Amendment. Q: On higher educa- tion, you are on the Board [o( Governors]. There's also been some turmoil over the high cost of the transforma- tion of New College and the failed presidential search that brought a lot of national attention and headlines to [University of Florida[. What do you see as the future of high- er education here in this state as governor? A: We are the number one state for higher educa- tion, and have been for multiple years running and so I'm proud of that as a member of the Board of Governors. With respect to the failed search, I think you're tanking about UF's, that search needed to fan. This guy was a cultural Marxist and not a good fit for our flagship university. People said, 'Oh, you no one's going to want to apply.' Well we just got a guy from Columbia who is a leader in ha Field in med- icine and neuroscience and is also a great proponent for free speech. And that's what we need, not conser- vative speech or liberal speech, all speech We need to hear from people on the left, people on the right, people in the middle, and that's just simply not happening in higher educa- tion across the country. Q: Let's talk about the campaign landscape. We're seeing this like competing potential Trump-DeSantis ticket, maybe even down -bal- lot, potential Trump endorsement in the [At- torney General] race. What sort of lane does that give you as you're campaigning over the next year if we have this Trump-DeSantis proxy battle on the Republican primary ticket? A: I'm going to put Florida first and so that's what I'll say and that's going to be my focus There's a lot of issues that voters really care about that are maybe not being talked about, but I'm proud of the time that Governor DeSantis has had. If you like the way Florida's been run, you'll like the way it's run under Govemar Renner. But I also support the president and I want to make sure that 1 help him as his best trusted partner among the govemors m the states and you'll see that as well. So you'll see a very pro - Trump govemor and Gov- er nor Renner. Q: At the end of the day, politicos always say it's about the economy at the ballot box. What is your message to the South Florida, Miami voters, who feel they're getting priced out — rising rent, property insurance. Especially here, what are you go- ing to do to make Flor- ida affordable? A: As governor,1 want to bring down insurance rates further through home -hardening programs like My Safe Florida Home. I want to bring down property tams, that has to be brought down substantially. I'm con- cerned he. in Miami, as en as the rest of the state, that the elderly — people on toed income — could lose their homes because, even though we have "Save Our Homes" at a 3% cap, over 10 years, that's a 30% increase. Well, 'My Social Security hasn't gone up 30%.' And so it's very important and as governor, l will fight to make sure we have some limit, a cap on when in your life, whether that's 70 or 75, at some point when you've been a long- term resident of Florida and you're in your home, you should no longer see increases in your property taxes. And 1 believe that's something that you'll see me introduce certainty in the coming weeks, but that's something that needs to be part of this property -tax reform dis- cussion. Beyond that,l think continuing to work on workforce and making sure we find ways to, in an Al world with a la of additional Al coming in that may disrupt jobs, that we're making sure people can go back and recertify in something new so they can continue to have jobs that give them prosperity and a good life here.

Hannon City Clerk Ad No. 43802 to MIPS HFAA1 O 1 ROOM SFNEMIEI t9 202S Love triangle leads to woman shooting romantic rival at Miami Gardens home: cops aq, 0ataawamaletroa A woman is behind bars Monday afternoon after police say she hied to kill a romantic rival outside a Miami Gardens home over a love triangle dispute. Jahniya 'marl Meda, 25, was arrested Saturday and faces an attempted murder charge. Just before 10 a.m., police were dispatched to Walt Frazer Park, 3201 NW 185111 St, when a 911 caller reported that a wom- an had been shot — and was aside a silver Nissan The woman, whose identity hasn't been re- leased had two gunshot wounds — one in her back and another in her buttock, according to an arrest report. Miami Gardens Fire Rescue took her to HCA Florida Aymara Hospital. An officer investigating the shooting found two spent shell casings on the front porch of 3001 NW 184th St., a home right across the street from the park, police say. The woman told in- vestigators that she was driving when she saw her boyfriend's car parked outside the residence. The woman said she exited her car and knocked on the door, asking for her boyfriend to come outside, according to the report. When he didn't open the door, the woman walked toward a side gate. That's when, police say, Meda opened the front door, stepped onto the parch and fired her gun twice toward the woman. Meda told her to "get [away] from my house." The incident was captured on Ring camera footage, ac cording to the report. In an interview with detectives, Meda said the woman began banging on her door and saying she was going to "beat her Meda added she opened the door when she saw the woman walking toward the side gate. Part of her statement was redacted in the report, but Meda acknowledged that she recognized the woman from a prior in- cident involving the wom- an 's boyfriend. Following the shooting, the boyfriend, 26, Bed the home in a Mercedes-Benz but was detained, per the report. He told police that he was inside Meda's home in her bedroom and didn't answer the door because it wasn't his resi- dence. The boyfriend, however, said he heard gunshots when Meda an- swered the door. After applying for a arch warrant, ponce obtained the firearm — a semiautomatic handgun — that they believe was used in the shooting. Meda was booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where she's being held without bond. FROM PAGE lA CHARTER hoods. Based on metrics, they have lived up to their name: Success Academy has built a reputation for producing students who overperfortn on standar- dized tests. According to Success Academy, 100% of their graduates have been accepted to four-year colleges and universities, many to highly selective institutions. Moskowitz told the Herald she hopes to enroll between 8,000 and 10,000 students in Miami -Dade within five years, eventually expand- g to other parts of the state. Her goal is to open three to five schools in Miami by the 2027-28 school year. The move is enabled by the expansion of Florida's Schools of Hope law, which allows approved charter school operators co -locate or have full ac- cess to undemsed, vacant or surplus district facilities in the attendance zone or within five miles of a per- sistently low -perforating school. This means that Success Academy or other approved Schools of Hope operators can essentially operate out of district buildings at no cost. A new rule approved this week by the state's Board of Education re- quires districts to provide those charter schools the same custodial, food, safety, nursing and trans- portation services as tradi- tional schools. Therecent updates to the law also expanded the definition of "persistently low -performing," meaning that now many more schools in the state are fair game fora Schools of Hope operator to move in. Based on the new crite- in the 2024-2025 school year, 30 schools in Miami -Dade were consid- ered persistently low - performing. In the year prior, no schools were on the list in Miami -Dade.

Moskowitz said she had considered expanding to Tennessee and Texas, but she told the Miami Herald she chose Florida because the state is "really in- terested in innovation and really committed to excel- lence." The governor brushed off concems that easier access for charters into the school district would hurt traditional schools. "1f a charter school is offering better programs, then [traditional public schools] will have to do something to earn the trust of parents back," DeSantis said. Miami -Dade teachers union leaden say that the expansion of the Schools of Hope law unfairly bur- dens public schools. "Co -location proposals further strain our Wools," said Tony White, president of the United Teachers of Dade. "Our students deserve real investment in proven public -school solutions — not experiments that pull resources from the schools scruing our unities." Two DeSantis- appoint-ed Miami -Dade school board members, Danny Espino and Roberta Alon- so, attended the press conference. Miami -Dade schools superintendent lose Dotes was not pre- sent. "1 think at the end of the day it's about empo- wering parents to make the choice for thew chil- dren, it causes all of us to compete," Espino said. "We welcome [Success Academy[ into the state." Moskowitz framed her plans as a way to address inequities. "When you disaggregate the data by and race, it's a tale of two cites, it's a tale of two groups," she said. "My sweet spot is serving the poorest of the poor exceptionally well," she told the Miami Her- ald. Moskowitz said at the press conference that the United States faces an "education crisis," when you compare outcomes to other countries, and that Florida is setting the stage as a national model for supporting school choice and high standards- "Govemor DeSantis has done something extraor- dinary here, he has put excellence at the center of public policy and nobody else has done what he is doing on the issue of qual- ity, not only helping Flor- ida's children, but setting a new national standard," Moskowitz said.

Hannon City Clerk Ad No. 43807 1101166 UHAM 1f 108 1 I MIAM, HERALD rS FROM PAGE 1A RENNER the state of Florida? You can look at my record." As speaker between 2022 and 2024 — the crit- ical, national -headline - grabbing years DeSantis was mounting in his presi- dential campaign — Ren- ner helped push through universal private school vouchers; rules barring certain content about race, gender and sexuality from classrooms; and a six -week abortion ban. But he's also running a Republican campaign for governor without the back- ing of either of the two biggest names in Florida politics: DeSantis or Don- ald Trump. After Renner jumped into the race earlier this month, DeSantis called the run "ill-advised" It's a key tension Renner has to navi- gate n a race that will likely be determined in the Re- publican primary, as Demo- crats have been unable to win a statewide race in seven years He's running against Tnunp-endorsed Congressman Byron Don - aids. All signs also point to Lt. Gov. jay Collins joining the ran with DeSantis' support. Former Congress- man ex -Republican David lolly is the only high - profile Democrat in the race m far. A Navy veteran, former state prosecutor and father of two young kids, Renner promises little difference from DeSantis on policy — despite the cold shoulder from DeSands on his cam- paign. He supports rolling back mandates, DeSan- his`Cuse of emergency funds to facilitate mass deporta- tions, and implementing property tax cuts. Inc few small departures, however, he said wants to have greater focus on Latin America from the gover- andisin- terested in reining in future govemors' ability to use emergency authority. What follows are ex- changes from Renner's in - remit., with the Herald, edited for brrvity and clar- ity. Q: You don't have the endorsement of Trump or DeSantis. You say you're aligned with them. What do you say to voters about why they're not backing you? A:I would say that even- tually, the governor would back me because 1 was a key architect in the legacy that he talks about.... I've been an architect in the Florida that many voters, certainly Republican vot- er s, love about Florida. I think voters are gong to look at three things. They're going to look at who do you trust, who do you most trust; who's got actual leadership experi- ence, which you should have in a job as important as governor of the third largest state in the country; and who's delivered re- sults. R you look at those three things, throughout my en- tire life, I've had 20 years in the military, served in two Wan, was a state attorney — just up the road here in Broward County — and as a Speaker of the Hare during two of the most consequen- tial years really in Florida's history, most people would say. B you want to preserve what we have, 1 helped build it. If you want to solve problems tomorrow, then you go to a guy who's al- ready solved problems and knows what they arc and how to Fix them in the fu- ture. Q: Governor DeSantis called your run ill-ad- vised. What do you say to the uaynyers? A: That's a question for him. That's a queston for him to separate the legacy that we had in two years in the Legislature from his own. Q: Most of your career has been in central and northeast Florida. What Is your message to voters in Miami? A: Asa reservist, l spent several years going down to South America, working through the embassies there, and so I've been all over, Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay, Pent, Chile, and so 1 understand the chal- lenges and the opportuni- ties that we have with our friends in Latin America. It would be a greater focus if I were governor. I do spea decent amount of Spanish My wife's Colombian and 1 lived in Venezuela for a period of time as well, separate from the military. And so thou countries are important to our national security. They're important in the economy of Florida, and so 1 would have a greater focus on the Amer- icas, on a recurring bass as Gwent Q: What do you think, from your vantage point of having lived in Vene- zuela, of Trump's for- eign policy actions in Venezuela lately? A: As far as the actions to sink ships that are carry- ing drugs, I'm all for it. Unfortunately, [Nicolas] Madero is leading a nation of narco terrorists, and he's the chief in charge of it And so his government is running drugs, and so it's absolutely appropriate form to take strong action. He has destroyed democ- racy in Venezuela. Q: We've men some local Republicans, In- cluding our South Flor- ida members of Con- gress, push back against the Trump admInis- tation on [Temporary Protected Status] pol- icies... What do you think of the decision to roll back TPS? A: I'll speak broadly to alimmigration. We have lowed the immigration situation to become a com- pete disaster. And so I would say if the pendulum is swung out this way, we're gonna get some emergency measures to get our arms around that and at some point then we will return m some immigra- tion policy that looks more like the normal immigra- tion policy. But we need to Fix our immigration policy. We have a broken im- migration policy. Q: On TPS specifically, we have a lot of resi- dents here that came, seeking political asylum, came legally with TPS, that are at risk of losing their status overnight. Do you support Trump's decision specifically on TPS? A: The president has, rust of all, the primary responsi- bility of the federal govern- ment in Immigration, he has the comprehensive view on immigration that I don't have, so I don't know what all the reasonings see, but 1 support the president's efforts to get control of something that no one has controlled for decades, frankly, including Repub- licans, to a sufficient extent. I think the President will also probably propose some- thing going forward that makes sense for our legal immigration because that as web is broken, because you try to do it the right way and you wait a decade to get into inc country. And so, must the president's efforts. u he's doing a good job immigration and 1 sup- port it. Q: This state has spent hundreds of millions of dollars building deporta- tion centers. l know they're expecting federal reimbursement, but do you think that's been a good use of emergency funds? And is that some- thing you'd prioritize? A: Whatever the cost is, is far exceeded nationally and even our state by the cost of years and years of doing absolutely noth- ing, but allowing anybody in without any kind of vetting and that's no way to maintain a country's uvereignty or to protect its citizens. Q: If the federal reim- bursement doen't hap- pen, should that still be a priority for Florida tax- payers? A: Yes, because you're talking about free health - are, free education. 1 mentioned gang violence, human trafficking. Some of those human trafficking victims are people who came across the border, kids who are being treated horribly. And so all of it needs to end, we need to make sure that immigra- tion canes through legal channels and doesn't take forever and ever to do and figure out what as a coun- try we want in terms of legal immigration and what we don't want. And that's a decision that voters and leadership have to make. Q: Do you think there should be limits to a governor's ability to use emergency authority? What sort of limits would you put on your- self in using emergency powers? A: Where I think there needs to be some reform is in the statute. 1 thine there's some potential for mischief if someone were to declare climate emergency or a gun -crisis emergency, you can't just name emerges cy and make it so. In the rase of immigration, 1 do Wink we have an emergen- cy. I think it's been so mis- handled for so long that the govemor was right to initi- ate it. Whether having it today or not is appropriate —1 think it is today. Wheth- er it is this time next year or the following year, it de- pends on how successful we are in reigning in the problem. As I said, I think at some point then it kind of stars w return to some degree of normality. Q: You'd be open to some kind of legislation around emergency au- thority for govemors generally in Florida? A: Yes. In fact, I was gong to propose that. It never got off the ground. Q: Do you think the Florida Legislature should roll back vaccine mandates that are al- ready in state law, like, polio, measles, tetanus — should those roll back? A:1 want parents to have Full information, I want them to be able to partici- pate with them pediatrician and have that dialogue, and 1 think most parents, like me, 1 have a five year old and a three year old, see going to look at vac- cines like polio and mea- sles and say, 'That's an important vaccine for me to take.' That's a choice for a parent to make with their physician And 1 think physicians will point out the benefits of vamines, which have saved millions of lives, and so I'm in no way, shape or form anti - me. My kids have been vaccinated. But 1 think it's more important that par- ents ue in that driver's seat with pediatricians rather than the CDC or the government dictating what they will or won't have. Q: So that's a yes, you would sign a law that rem oves the mandates? A: Yeah, 1 don't wane the government making that decision for parents or doctors, for that matter.... People should use vaccines to save thew kid's life and thvoid any problems, but e question is whether the gwemment should man- date that and how many your child gets and how and those kinds of things that a parent may say, 'Look, 1 want the vac- cine, but I want to spread them out.' That would be aample of where voiding mandates could be beneficiaL But 1 think once you put the pediatrician in the room — and this is the argument that is made on issues like abortion — that it's up to a woman and her physician. Well, isn't that true for vaccines? Many people forget that when they make that argument for a mandate. Q: 1 know one of your biggest priorities in the Legislature was the so- cial media bill. What do you see is the future of state -level regulation of big tech? A: We've done it. We should move [the mini - um age] to 16. We have 14 and 15, parental con- sent. I'm a big proponent of parental rights. The issue here is, if it's a static thing like a book or a movie, that's a parental right, you decide whether your child is going to watch that movie or part of it or none of it With social media, you have algo- rithms that are always one step ahead of children, always one step ahead of parents, addictive features that are being purposely used to hack the human brain and keep people on for six, eight hours a day. Politicians overuse the word crisis, but this is an absolute crisis and simply put: young children don't have the mental devel- opment to stand up against what Big Tech is throwing at them in the way of using addiction as a business model, and that is exactly what they're doing. Q: As governor, for legislation that you'd like to sign, you men- tioned the age 16. Are there any specific bench- marks that you'd want to prforitlae? A: There needs robe CITY OF MIAMI.

I don't believe the First Amend- ment protects addictive features being used, addle- tive technology being used by Big Tech. 1t does protect content, and our bill doesn't speak at all to good content or bad content. You can say whatever you want, you can be in group chats, you an be on platforms that e not addictive and speak your positions, and your whatever you want to speak to your heart's con- tent, the bill doesn't cover content or the First Amendment protections at all, because I'm the big proponent and big defend- er of the First Amendment. Q: On higher educa- don, you are on the Board [of Governors]. There's also been some turmoil over the high cost of the transforma- tion of New College and the failed presidential search that brought a lot of national attention and headlines to [University of Florida]. What do you e as the future of high - seducation here in this tate as governor? A: We are the number one state for higher educa- tion, and have been for multiple years running and so I'm proud of that as a Gember of the Board of overnors. With respect to the failed search, 1 think you're talking about UF's, that search needed to fail. This guy was a cultural Marxist and our a good fit for our flagship university. People said, 'Oh, you no one's going to want to apply.' Well we just got a guy from Columbia who is a leader in his field in med- icine and neuroscience and is also a great proponent for free speech. And that's what we need, not conser- vative speech or liberal speech, all speech. We eed to hear from people on the left, people on the right, people in the middle, and that's just simply not happening in higher educa- tion across the country. Q: Let's talk about the campaign landscape. We're seeing this like competing potential Tromp-DeSantis ticket, maybe even down -bal- lot, potential Trump endorsement in the [At- torney General' race. What sort Of lane does that give you as you're campaigning over the next year if we have this Tromp-DeSantis proxy battle on the Republican primary ticket A: I'm going to put Florida first and so that's what I'll say and that's going to be my focus. There's a la of issues that voters really care about that are maybe not being talked about, but I'm proud of the time that Governor DeSantis has had. If you like the way Florida's been run, you'll like the way it's run under Governor Renner. But 1 also support the president and I want to make sure that I help him as his best trusted partner among the governorsin the states anyou'll see that as well. So you'll see a very pro - Trump governor and Gov- ern or Renner. Q: At the end of the day, politicos always say it's about the economy at the ballot box. What la your message to the South Florida, Miami voters, who feel they're getting priced out — rising rent, property insurance. Especially here, what are you go- ing to do to make Flor- ida affordable? A: As govema, I want to bring down insurance rates further through home -hardening programs like My Safe Florida Home. I want to bring down property taxes, that has to be brought down substantially. I'm con- cemed here in Miami, as well as the rest of the state, that the elderly — people on feed income — could lose their homes because, even though we have "Save Our Homes" at a 3% cap, over 10 years, that's a 30%increase. Web, 'My Social Security hasn't gone up 30%.' And so it's very important and as governor, I will fight to make sure we have some limit, a cap on when in your life, whether that's 70 or 75, at some point when you've been a long- term resident of Florida and you're in your home, you should no longer see increases in your property taxes. And I believe that's something that you'll see me introduce certainly in the coming weeks, but that's something that needs to be pan of this property -tax reform dis- cussion. Beyond that, 1 think continuing to work on workforce and making sure we Find ways to, in an Al world with a la of additional Al caning in that may disrupt jobs, that we're making sure people an go back and recertify in seething new so they can continue to have jobs that give them prosperity and a good life here.
