This morning on Flashpoint. The Florida Taxation and Budget Reform Commission is supposed to rise above partisan politics to craft long term solutions to the State's thorniest problems. Hopes were especially high that the 25 member appointed board could come up with a workable approach to property tax reform. After all, they have the extraordinary power to place constitutional amendments directly before voters. Instead, the consensus is that the FTBR (that forms only once every twenty years)  devolved into pushing the highly partisan, faith based social engineering junk you'd expect from the State legislature. 

My guests are former State Senator, Lesley Miller and educator, Jade Thomas Moore- both members of the commission who are none too happy with most of the commission's work. They also see the fingerprints of Jeb Bush on some of the amendments proposed for this November's election. 

You'll also see a pretty amazing video in the third segment that I don't recommend for those prone to vertigo or incontinence. See the whole video here and let me know what you think of the show.
