As an attorney who has represented many homeowners from the ravages of unelected boards of defunct Homeowners Association, I encourage everyone to communicate with the Florida Legislature and Governor Ron DeSantis to get rid of these fiedoms in Florida forever.

HOA ban for Millions of Americans gets closer:

A potential ban on homeowners associations (HOAs) in Florida is edging closer after a state Republican said he was considering filing legislation about the matter. Juan C. Porras, who represents Miami-Dade County has called to repeal the associations, calling them "authoritarian bonds."

HOAs have caused headaches for some residents.

Posting on X, Porras said: "I am seriously considering legislation to repeal Homeowner Associations (HOA's). In the Free State of Florida, we should not have authoritarian boards dictate your day to day life with no accountability."

According to local outlets, he also shared a petition calling for enforcement and transparency over HOAs. At the time of writing it has been signed 1,551 times.

What People Are Saying
Homeowner Sharon Siebert told Tampa Bay 28: "I understand that it's a business, I understand that the business is to make sure the properties are maintained. But at the same time, when you've been here a long time and always maintained your property, it's difficult when you find yourself in a tough situation and there's no help."

Porras told Tampa Bay 28: "It might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary. Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole."
He added: "You're being charged $500, $600 plus a month when in reality you don't see a lot of that money going back to even your own community.""It was a failed experiment," he said.

What Happens Next
Whether Porras advances legislation and whether it is then well received by other lawmakers in the legislature remains to be seen. Any legislation would have to pass the Florida House and Senate before being approved by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

LANDMARK CASE in the 5th District, which includes Daytona Beach, Jacksonville and Ocala.

The 5th District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that a drug-sniffing dog’s alert did not justify police searching a car because the dog could not differentiate between medical ma*****na and illegal pot.

“Paul Revere’s Ride,” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (abridged)

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

He said to his friend, “If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,—
One, if by land, and two, if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm.”

Then he said, “Good night!” and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide. . . .

Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride
On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse’s side,
Now gazed at the landscape far and near,
Then, impetuous, stamped the earth,
And turned and tightened his saddle-girth;
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry-tower of the Old North Church,
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still.
And lo! as he looks, on the belfry’s height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns!

A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet;
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides.

It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Medford town.
He heard the crowing of the c**k,
And the barking of the farmer’s dog,
And felt the damp of the river fog,
That rises after the sun goes down.

It was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weatherc**k
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, black and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.

It was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge in Concord town.
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,

Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket-ball.

You know the rest. In the books you have read,
How the British Regulars fired and fled,—
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farm-yard wall,
Chasing the red-coats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,—
A cry of defiance and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo forevermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
