Imagine being with @cityofpensacola Police and Fire, listening to Amendment 3 supporters talk about cutting their budget, next you know you’re responding during Hurricane Isaias at 92mph to save a life: @PensacolaPolice @JeffreyBrandes @Fla_Pol 📸 = Greg Thompson

Florida's firefighters support meaningful property tax relief. We also believe Floridians deserve to understand what Amendment 3 could mean for the public safety services they rely on every day. FPF President Wayne "Bernie" Bernoska explains why we're asking voters to learn how their local fire department is funded, ask questions, and understand the consequences before Election Day. Read his op-ed in the Palm Beach Post: https:// aol.com/articles/floridians-… amendent-090809000.html

Florida’s fire departments rely on local funding to put firefighters and paramedics on the street, staff stations, maintain apparatus and equipment, and provide emergency response around the clock. Amendment 3 would change the property tax system that helps fund fire and EMS across Florida without a clear plan for future funding. Before Election Day, learn how your local fire department is funded, what services it provides, and what Amendment 3 could mean for your community.

The Firefighters endorsement means a lot. No matter how we re-structure property taxes, it’s imperative to ensure funding for those that put their lives on the line for our communities. This will be priority! Thank you @FPF343 🤝

Thank you for your leadership on this and other issues, Rep @ChipLaMarca! Your work in the House improved the lives of Florida firefighters and paramedics. 🚒🚑
This is a big one for our first responders. They have been fighting this fight and I have working been with them since arriving in Tallahassee. Congratulations and thank you for what you do to keep us safe. “Annual cost-of-living adjustments for retired firefighters, paramedics and law enforcement officers will return on July 1. The $117.6 billion budget signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis includes a long-sought retirement benefit for Special Risk members of the Florida Retirement System, a class that encompasses most law enforcement and first-responder professions. When the budget goes into effect next month, eligible retirees who have been retired for at least 5 years will receive an annual COLA of at least 1.5%. The change marks the culmination of more than 15 years of advocacy by first responders and supporters in the Legislature.” #FlaPol

Proud to endorse Senator @AshleyMoodyFL Thank you for your continued commitment to Florida’s firefighters, paramedics, and their families. 🚒🇺🇸
The men and women who risk their lives to protect others are the real heroes in our communities and they deserve a Senator who fights just as hard for them. I am honored to have the support of @FPF343 and be their voice in Washington.

On behalf of the Florida Professional Firefighters, we thank our brother for his years of service, friendship, and unwavering dedication to the profession and the people of this state. Your impact will be felt for generations, Brother Hooper.
I’ve been blessed with an incredible 16 years in the Legislature. Though I have 2 years left, Lee & I have decided it’s time to fully enjoy retirement. It’s hard to say goodbye to everyone we’ve come to love through this process. I’m grateful to each of you.
