Big bet on tax relief, a bigger fish to spy, goal diggin’ in Florida, opera-tunity knocks
About this episode
The episode discusses Florida's upcoming property tax changes, World Cup connections, and features a segment on whale sharks and opera.
Florida voters will decide this November whether to dramatically expand exemptions and cap property tax increases. But more money in homeowners’ pockets could mean less for local governments. “Florida Matters Live & Local” examines the details. Then, World Cup fans are descending on the U.S. from all corners of the globe to celebrate the beautiful game. We talk about the Florida connections — from players to matches to fans. Plus, we try to catch up with roaming whale shark and meet one of the stars of St. Pete Opera’s “La Boheme” production.
