Hey folks. This is a lie. I've never proposed a hurricane tax. In fact, my plan repeals the hurricane tax Byron plans to continue. Never trust a liar.
Florida families are already stretched thin, and David Jolly's answer is a $1,000-a-year hurricane tax that hits you whether a storm makes landfall or not. Jolly wants you to pay more while bailing out Big Insurance. My Bring Down The Bill plan will bring costs down for consumers and hold insurance companies accountable.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The $1000 hurricane tax accusation has been thoroughly debunked. It was fabricated. politifact.com/article/2026/s… x.com/davidjollyfl/s… davidjolly.com/homeowners-ins…

Free the House! RT if @SpeakerMcCarthy should allow C-SPAN cameras back on the floor. What is he hiding?
Replying to @cspan

Today is my last day @Enquirer, as my position was eliminated as part of @Gannett's layoffs. I don’t know what’s next, which is a little scary/weird/sad. I’ve been lucky to tell stories for a living as long as I have. Hopefully, I can continue doing so somewhere else.
