‘Get Used to It’: Florida Residents Sound Off as Rising Floodwaters Swamp Fort Lauderdale Streets

While we tend to get used to many things in our states, there are a few that can still be concerning, especially when they seem to get worse every year. One example is what’s happening in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where residents are dealing with flooded streets following heavy rainfall. While some people are shocked to see parts of the city underwater, a few locals claim this is nothing out of the ordinary and something people should probably get used to by now.

‘Impassable' flooding from pounding rain is swamping South Florida suburbs

Heavy rain this week has turned parts of Broward County into a watery maze, swallowing roadways, stranding cars in flooded parking lots and sending water into homes and buildings as people waded through deep floodwaters. Over the past four days the highest rainfall totaled about 13 to 15 inches between Weston and Sunrise, George Rizzuto, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Miami, said Wednesday. But there’s good news coming: The rain will taper off Wednesday afternoon, and drier air and sunny skies are moving in Thursday through the weekend, he said. Other parts of Florida, including Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, have been hit with 15 to 20 inches of rain that has flooded roads and submerged cars. The torrent neared the state’s single-day rainfall record, according to ABC News. According to the Florida Today news site on the Space Coast, National Weather Service officials described the flooding as a “one-in-1,000-year event .” Brevard County sheriff’s deputies helped more than 100 people caught in rising waters while driving to work or running errands, according to the news outlet.

Miami library supporters to fight for funding amid Amendment 3 cuts

Miami-Dade libraries face big budget cuts after voters passed Amendment 3 — and now advocates are figuring out a path forward. Why it matters: Amendment 3 will deliver a tax break to homeowners but slash funding for local governments, including the Miami-Dade Public Library System, which is funded through a special taxing district. Threat level: Friends of the Miami-Dade Public Library has warned that the amendment could lead to mass library closures and job cuts. Amendment 3 is expected to slash library funding by $21 million next year, or about 17% of their budget, according to county projections. That gap would increase to $38.7 million, or 31% of the budget, by 2028. The latest: The nonprofit plans to lobby state and county leaders, and work with partners to find long-term funding solutions. The group is also asking the community to chip in with donations, write letters of support and visit their local libraries to demonstrate the demand. What they're saying: Kristy Quiros, a board trustee and advocacy chair with Friends of the MDPL, tells Axios she hopes private donors "will rise to the occasion, but everybody is about to have their hand out because this is so much more far

Voting machine chaos hits key House battleground

Voting machines across New York's Westchester County are rejecting paper ballots on Election Day , raising concerns about potential delays in one of the nation's most competitive House races. Why it matters: The contest between Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) and Democratic nominee Cait Conley has emerged as a key battleground race in Democrats' push to gain control of the House. Catch up quick: The Westchester County Board of Elections said Tuesday it was aware of a problem preventing voting machines from accepting paper ballots at polling locations throughout the county. The Board of Elections said it is speaking with New York State officials and the Westchester County government "to address this issue and ensure that voting continues with as little disruption as possible." New York Attorney General Letitia James wrote on X that her office is monitoring the issue. The intrigue: Election officials initially blamed the thickness of paper ballots but later removed that explanation from their statement, per reports. The latest: On Tuesday afternoon, the New York State Board of Elections said the malfunction was linked to "an update to the county's election programming" released after initially testing Election Day equipment. Officials said the software update wasn't installed on

‘We're going to be underwater': What Florida's property tax cut means for flooding

Florida voters resoundingly decided to slash their own property taxes on election day, sending shockwaves through the local governments who now have to figure out which services to cut. On the potential chopping block: the millions (and billions) of flooding projects that are sorely needed in soggy South Florida. At the Southeast Florida Climate Compact’s annual summit this week, elected officials from Palm Beach County to the Keys openly worried about what this new mandate means for the projects they’ve been advocating for. On stage, Broward County Commission Steve Geller put it bluntly. “I advise people to move to another state because Florida is going to be a hellhole,” he told the crowd. “We’re going to be underwater.” READ NEXT: Voters said yes to Amendment 3 tax cut. What comes next for Miami-Dade, cities? Florida’s new constitutional amendment, which passed with 62% approval, raised the homestead exemption from property taxes from $50,000 to $250,000 by 2028. It’s a severe blow for local governments that rely on property taxes as the foundation of their budgets. Broward County could lose $333 million of its budget by 2028, according to an estimate from flood consultant firm Brizaga. Miami-Dade estimates it would lose $700
