The fuss over property taxes, public employees and free speech, taking a dive in Tampa Bay
About this episode
The episode discusses property tax cuts, public employee standards regarding online speech, and an upcoming cliff diving event in St. Petersburg.
The budget may finally be complete, but lawmakers are back at the state Capitol this week for a special session on cutting property taxes. "Florida Matters Live & Local" takes a look at the governor's plan. Also, have you ever worried that something you posted online could affect your job? Should public employees be held to a different standard? We talk to a civil liberties attorney about a recent lawsuit. And cliff diving — sans the cliff — is coming to downtown St. Petersburg this weekend. Complete with a 100-foot tower.
