HOMEGROWN ATHLETES
THE THEN AND NOW OF PENSACOLA’S PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES
By Nicole Willis
When we think about successful athletes, we often think about people from a few select places— Los Angeles, New York City, etc. The truth is, anyone can become successful, no matter where they’re from. Some of the most talented athletes in the world come from smaller towns and cities. Pensacola has sprouted several talented athletes of its own, some of which have gone on to compete at the Olympic level. Here are the inspiring stories of four of Pensacola’s most elite athletes.
JUSTIN GATLIN
Justin Gatlin is a Pensacola-native Olympic Champion and one of the fastest sprinters of all time. Throughout his decade-spanning career, Gatlin has garnered a slew of awards including U.S. Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals in sprinting.
Despite his impressive accomplishments, Gatlin has humble beginnings rooted in Pensacola. In his youth, Gatlin tried out a variety of sports, but fell in love with track and field. During his teen years, he competed as a hurdler while attending Woodham High School in Pensacola.
Gatlin went on to the University of Tennessee to pursue his love of running. He began his sprinting journey in college and started racking up accomplishments and beating records. Seeing all of his success, Gatlin decided to cut his college career short to take his sprinting career a step forward and try to go into the pros.
“From a physical standpoint, I did everything I could do in college,” Gatlin said. “In my freshman year, I tied a 30-year-old record of winning 100 meters and 200 meters as a freshman. Then I repeated the process again during my sophomore year. Within that timeframe of two years of being in college, we won the NCAA championship, outdoor and indoor. So there was really nothing left for me to do except keep winning until I lose. So I betted on going pro, to see where it could take me.”
That gamble ended up paying off for Gatlin, as he became one of the most decorated sprinters to date. Gatlin has received one gold Olympic medal, two silver Olympic medals and two bronze Olympic medals. He won each type of medal for his 100-meter dash.
Throughout his career, Gatlin beat legendary sprinter Usain Bolt multiple times, including during Bolt’s final race in 2017. Gatlin reflected on beating Bolt in his final race: “It was a weird feeling because it wasn’t like I just beat him at a championship and then it was like ‘alright cool, I’m going to see him at another race later, or I’m going to see him next year.’ It was his last race of his career. His last 100 meters in a World Championship final. This was the last time I was going to have the opportunity to race him… and I beat him. It was rewarding, but at the same time I had to say farewell to someone who was my fiercest competitor.”
World Athletics ranks Gatlin as the 5th fastest sprinter in the world to complete the 100-meter dash. He got to this position by setting his personal best record of 9.74 seconds in Qatar at the IAAF Doha Diamond League.
Though Gatlin announced his retirement in February of 2022, he remains a prominent figure in the athletic world. He currently runs Spire Fitness, an online coaching program for anyone looking to get fit or increase their athletic performance. The program combines nutrition and meal planning guidance from a nutritionist, workouts prepared and monitored by Gatlin and trainers, and support from Gatlin and the Spire Fitness team. The program is personalized to each specific person and their needs. “It is basically tailored to every specific athlete that
wants to do something,” Gatlin said.
In addition to Spire Fitness, Gatlin is working on his foundation, the Justin Gatlin Foundation. The foundation focuses on progressing the youth in their sports. Gatlin explained some of the foundation’s recent goals— “the Justin Gatlin foundation is going to start doing more training and speed agilities for kids and younger athletes. It’s going to be speed agility that’s catering not only to track and field but all groups of sports.”

BETH BARR
Imagine yourself as a 16-year-old. Now imagine yourself as a 16-year-old on an Olympic stage. This monumental picture was the reality for Pensacola-native and professional swimmer, Elizabeth (Beth) Barr.
Barr grew up in Pensacola and discovered her love of swimming at a young age. In her childhood, Barr’s mother placed her in all kinds of sports and extracurricular activities to find out what her daughter was interested in. When Barr tried out swimming, she immediately took a liking to it and excelled at it. This skill and passion would lead her into a career of swimming that she is still active in today.
At only 16 years of age, Barr competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. During her swim career, she spent most of her time perfecting her backstroke. This dedication paid off, as Barr won a silver medal by swimming the backstroke portion of the women’s 4 x 100 meter medley relay. In addition to this high placement, Barr also finished fourth in the women’s 200 meter backstroke and fifth in the women’s 100 meter backstroke. Despite accomplishing such large feats at a young age, the success did not phase teenage Barr.
“I was going into the Olympics at number two in the world. Now I understand how amazing that is, but at the time, it seemed normal,” Barr explained. “When you’re in it, you’re focused on performing at your highest level. You’re so into what you’re doing and making sure you’re doing everything right that you’re not really stepping back and looking at the big picture. As you get older, you can step back, enjoy and appreciate everything. But when you’re in the middle of it, you really don’t have time for that. You’re supposed to be performing.”
In college, Barr attended the University of Texas where she was a part of the championship winning team. “I’m very proud of what we did at the University of Texas when we won the NCAA championship. When we went to the championship in 1991, it was such a good feeling,” Barr said. “The back-
strokers had the full hand in it. We were so close, down to the wire, and I won the 200 back. Then I got second in the 100, and my teammate got first in the 100 and then that completely sealed up our championship. So that felt really, really good.”
Though she no longer swims competitively, swimming is still a large part of Barr’s life. Nowadays she owns and operates her own swim school called Barracuda Swimworks. The swim school teaches Barr’s own curriculum, which is designed to help people of all ages learn how to swim for survival. As much as Barr enjoys competitive swimming, she is also passionate about making sure everyone has the swim skills they need to save themselves from drowning. “I have my own curriculum, it’s my own little survival swim method,” Barr explained. “It’s very simple and easy. I’m actually hoping to get that method taught to other municipalities and other programs.” If you would like to learn more about Barr’s current ventures, check out barracudaswimworks.com.
ADRON CHAMBERS
Adron Chambers is a Penacola-native and a former Major League Baseball player. As a teenager, he attended Pensacola High School where he was the football team’s star quarterback. Chambers went to Mississippi State University (MSU) to play football. However, an ACL injury in college switched up his athletic and professional path completely.
As a child, Chambers grew up playing sports with the kids in his neighborhood. He loved playing football, basketball and baseball, but he never imagined that he would be playing sports professionally. “I was always playing sports. Was I dreaming of being a major league ball player or NFL player? No, I was just having fun with it,” he explained.
Chambers followed his love and enjoyment of sports into college, where he attended MSU. While attending college on a football scholarship, Chambers tore his ACL. This unexpected injury and the resulting surgery left him in confusion about what to do next. “There was a lot that I was going through just trying to find myself again. After the things that happened at Mississippi State, I was just confused about what direction I was heading, not even just with sports, but in my life,” Chambers explained.
After the injury, he transferred to Pensacola Junior College (now Pensacola State College) back at home. “I looked at Pensacola Junior College as a way to restart,” he said. While at Pensacola Junior College, Chambers rediscovered his love for baseball and was convinced to join the school’s team.
Spending quite some time playing base-
ball and perfecting his performance, Chambers turned his sport into his career. In 2007, Chambers made his debut in the minor league playing for the Johnson City Cardinals. After a few more years in the minor leagues, Chambers entered the major league in 2011 when he was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals. Chambers remained with the St. Louis Cardinals from 2011 to 2013. During this time, the team won the 2011 World Series. Despite this win seeming like a huge deal, Chambers does not view the win as more significant than others.
“I won so many championships as a youth. I was around winning all my life, whether it was baseball or football. So those kinds of moments really stick out to me and the World Series sticks out to everybody else,” he said.
Chambers elaborated on his career highlights saying, “I guess winning the World Series and receiving that key to the city [of Pensacola] are two highlights, as I am able to represent Pensacola— my favorite place of all time.”
After his time with the St. Louis Cardinals, Chambers went on to play for the Houston Astros, as he signed a minor league deal with the team in late 2013. Since then, Chambers has jumped around and played for a variety of professional baseball teams including the Chicago Cubs, Ottawa Champions, Bridgeport Bluefish and more.
Apart from baseball, today Chambers is focusing his time on being a dad and teaching baseball to children throughout the community. He is passionate about helping kids in the community discover a healthy and enjoyable hobby. “I want to use baseball as a tool to uplift our youth, help them find a path and let them understand that there’s so much more out in this world,” Chambers explained. “I grew up on a street in downtown Pensacola where it was rough, so having sports definitely gave me a place to go to lash out anger and frustration, or just have a good time in general.” To keep up with Chambers, follow his Instagram at @adronchambers.
MICHELLE SNOW
Born and raised in Pensacola, Michelle Snow first experienced a taste of success when she led Pensacola High School to the state championship in 1998. From there, Snow’s success in her sport only went up.
Growing up, Snow always knew that she wanted to play basketball professionally. However, she was met with a sad reality– in the 80s and 90s, women were rarely seen in the professional basketball scene. The WNBA was only founded in 1996, which is 50 years after the foundation of the NBA. Snow recalls that even her father told her that her dream would likely not be able to become a reality.
“I told my dad I was gonna play professional basketball. He laid it out and told me, ‘that’s not an option for women.’ I was like, ‘then I’ll go overseas, or I’ll figure it out. But I am playing professional basketball,’” Snow explained. Despite the odds against her, Snow chased her dream of going pro and ended up doing just that.
In college, Snow played for the University of Tennessee, where she became the third woman in NCAA college basketball history to dunk during a game. In her professional career, Snow has played in the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA), USA Basketball and the National Women’s Basketball League (NWBL). In 2002, Snow was a first-round draft pick by the Houston Comets. In her WNBA career, Snow went on to play for the Atlanta Dream, San Antonio Silver Stars, Chicago Sky, Washington Mystics and Los Angeles Sparks. Similar to her dunking accomplishment in college, in 2006 Snow became the second player ever to dunk in a WNBA all-star game. She was also awarded the title of WNBA All-Star in 2005 and 2006. During her WNBA off-seasons, Snow played on several teams overseas including a Russian team, Dynamo Kursk, which led to her winning a EuroCup with the team in 2012. In her years playing overseas, she has played for teams from Spain, Israel and Turkey. Despite all of her career successes, Snow says one specific moment was the highlight of her career. “When I think about the WNBA and my professional highlight, it’s always been the same– my mom getting flown out to New York and watching me be drafted live in the arena. That moment was huge, because I didn’t necessarily know that it would happen,” Snow said. Snow’s mother has Lupus, so this moment was very special for her. “She’s one of the reasons that I wanted to get to the pros so bad, to try to ease some of those financial burdens. Allowing her to be a part of that is definitely by far the biggest highlight for me.”
Today, Snow spends most of her time working for Nike. She is able to take her passion for accessible athletics into her current job. “I went from being a Nike athlete to now managing a lot of the classic products within Nike. So when you think of classics, you’re talking about the Air Force One, the retro basketball, etc. I also do the access line, which is a ton of fun,” Snow said. “I enjoy doing it [the access line] because I was the kid that couldn’t afford the access. So being able to create access for everyone that wants a piece of the Nike dream means a lot to me.” To keep up with Snow, follow her on Instagram at @michellesnow2. ■

CONSTRUCTION LAWSUIT CHANGES TEED UP
Lawmakers could continue moving forward next week with a proposal that would shorten the time for residents to file lawsuits about construction defects in their homes. The House Regulatory Reform & Economic Development Subcommittee is scheduled Feb. 7 to take up the bill (HB 85), which cleared the House Civil Justice Subcommittee last week. The most-controversial part of the proposal deals with lawsuits about “latent” construction defects — essentially defects
GUN BILL TO GET QUICK HEARING
The Florida House next week will move quickly on a bill that would allow people to carry concealed weapons without licenses. The House Constitutional Rights, Rule of Law & Government Operations Subcommittee will take up the bill (HB 543) during a Feb. 7 meeting, according to an agenda posted online Tuesday. House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, held a news confer-
BERFIELD, DALEY TEE UP 2024 BIDS
Republican Kim Berfield and Democrat Dan Daley are preparing to run for re-election to their House seats in 2024. Berfield, R-Clearwater, opened a campaign account Tuesday to seek another term in Pinellas County’s
premier students are going to UF (the University of Florida) or some of our other schools. So, I think this is going to really reorient it in a very positive way,” DeSantis said.
But in some of her final remarks before trustees voted for her removal, Okker pushed back against what DeSantis frequently characterizes as “indoctrination” on highereducation campuses.
“I’m going to say publicly — I do not believe that students are being indoctrinated at New College. I believe a president needs to stand behind her words when she asks donors to contribute. It is the only way that I can be effective. You cannot ask me to go forward and argue that we are indoctrinating students here,” Okker said.
Corcoran was floated as Okker’s interim replacement by trustee Matthew Spalding, a DeSantis appointee and professor at Hillsdale College, a liberal-arts school in Michigan that is prominent among conservatives.
“This college is languishing. It needs to be revived. It’s got a great potential future. It can be much larger, much more influential, much more flourishing in the Florida system,” Spalding said, adding that he aimed to “have leadership that is fully committed to that direction.”
Spalding told trustees that he and Corcoran are “old friends” and that Corcoran, who was not present at Tuesday’s meeting, would agree to take the interim position.
Corcoran drew headlines after a speaking engagement at Hillsdale College in 2021, in which he touted a proposal to place strict guidelines on the way U.S. history is taught in Florida classrooms. The state Board of Education ultimately approved the proposal later that year.
Before the vote on Okker’s removal, trustee Grace Keenan, who is New College’s student-body president, was among the trustees who argued that Okker should be able to keep her job.
“I think you’ve done an amazing job,” Keenan told Okker. “I think you are an incredible person to lead us through these changes, and I hope you stay.”
that can remain hidden from homeowners for years. Under current law, homeowners can file lawsuits about latent defects up to 10 years after they take possession of the property or other events occur, such as the issuance of certificates of occupancy, whichever happens later. But the bill, sponsored by Rep. John Snyder, R-Stuart, would change that to seven years. It also would change the events to include such things as issuance of temporary certificates of occupancy and would start the clock with whichever event happens earliest. The bill is filed for consideration during the legislative session that will start March 7. Similar bills sparked debate during the 2022 legislative session but did not pass.
ence Monday to announce the proposal, which would do away with the requirement to obtain state concealed-weapons licenses to carry guns. Supporters call the proposal “constitutional carry.” The bill, sponsored by Rep. Chuck Brannan, R-Macclenny, and Rep. Bobby Payne, R-Palatka, is filed for consideration during the legislative session that will start March 7. If it clears the panel next week, it would need approval from the Judiciary Committee before it could go to the full House after the session starts.
House District 58, according to the state Division of Elections website. Berfield won the seat in November, after also serving in the House from 2000 to 2006. Daley, D-Sunrise, opened an account Monday to seek re-election in Broward County’s House District 96. Daley was first elected to the House in 2019.

CHANGES MADE TO AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES COURSE
RYAN DAILEY NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE — After state education officials rejected an Advanced Placement African-American studies course, The College Board on Wednesday released a new framework that appears to have dropped content that drew objections from the state.
The Florida Department of Education last month sent a letter to The College Board, which developed the course, citing a list of topics and authors as a basis for the rejection.
State education officials essentially told The College Board that the course, a collegelevel class that would be offered to highschool students, would not be used in Florida classrooms unless changes were made.
In a news release Wednesday about the updated framework, The College Board said Florida’s objections were not taken into account when making revisions to the course.
“No states or districts have seen the official framework that is released, much less provided feedback on it. This course has been shaped only by the input of experts and longstanding AP principles and practices,” the organization said in a statement.
David Coleman, The College Board’s CEO, called the revised course “an unflinching encounter with the facts” and evidence of African American history and culture.
“No one is excluded from this course: the Black artists and inventors whose achievements have come to light; the Black women and men, including gay Americans, who played pivotal roles in the civil-rights movement; and people of faith from all backgrounds who contributed to the anti-slavery and civil-rights causes. Everyone is seen,” Coleman said.
A review of the updated framework, however, indicates that it does not include several topics that were called into question.
For instance, the state took issue with a topic that initially appeared in the course called “Black queer studies.” That topic, the state said, would have included required reading from author Roderick Ferguson.
The updated framework included no mention of Ferguson and did not have the overarching Black queer studies topic. Gov. Ron DeSantis last week specifically criticized the topic’s initial inclusion in the course.
“When you try to use Black history to shoehorn in queer theory, you are clearly trying to use that for political purposes,” the governor said.
DeSantis told reporters Wednesday that he had not seen the updated framework and declined to comment on changes.
The News Service of Florida sought comment Wednesday from the Department of Education after the framework’s release, but the department had not responded as of mid-afternoon.
Other topics such as “movements for
TIKTOK TARGETED ON GOVERNMENT DEVICES
After the federal government took a similar step, a Florida House Republican on Tuesday filed a proposal that would prevent people with government-issued cell phones and other devices from downloading the TikTok social-media app. Rep. Carolina
CITIZENS INSURANCE TOPS 1.16M POLICIES

Black lives,” “Black feminist literary thought,” “intersectionality and activism” and “the reparations movement” appeared to have been removed from the course.
However, one part of the framework that lists “sample project topics,” which are optional and not a required part of the course, listed possible political and policy debates including “reparations debates in the U.S./ the Americas.” The same list of optional debate topics included “Black conservatism: development and ideology,” and “intersectionality and the dimensions of Black experiences.”
Authors whose works were previously planned to be included in the course, but drew objections from the state, appeared to have been removed from the updated framework.
Angela Davis, who the state education department described as a “self-avowed Communist and Marxist,” did not show up in a search of the revised framework. Bell Hooks, who the department pointed to as an author of “many intersectionality texts,” also was not included in the updated course.
Changes drew an immediate rebuke from the Human Rights Campaign, a major LGBTQ civil-rights organization.
“Today, the College Board released a revised curriculum for its new Advanced Placement course in African American Studies, which attempts to erase Black history by stripping out the names of many Black writers and scholars associated with critical race theory, the Black queer experience, and Black feminism. Other topics, like the Black Lives Matter movement, are now optional,” the organization said in a news release.
Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson called the revisions “censoring Black and queer history” and criticized DeSantis directly.
“We cannot cave to the will of extremist conservatives like Ron DeSantis who are trying to whitewash history and use the power of the government to punish, erase, or attack anyone he disagrees with, including the Black and LGBTQ+ communities,” Robinson said in a statement.
As DeSantis continues to target “trendy ideology” in Florida classrooms, The College Board included in an introductory part of the framework a statement of principles that said Advanced Placement courses do not seek to indoctrinate students.
“AP opposes indoctrination. AP students are expected to analyze different perspectives from their own, and no points on an AP Exam are awarded for agreement with any specific viewpoint. AP students are not required to feel certain ways about themselves or the course content. AP courses instead develop students’ abilities to assess the credibility of sources, draw conclusions, and make up their own minds,” said the section titled “What AP stands for.”
Amesty, R-Windermere, filed the proposal (HB 563) for consideration during the legislative session that will start March 7. The bill would apply to devices issued by state, local and regional government agencies. Congress in December approved banning TikTok on federal devices. TikTok has drawn scrutiny because of its Chinese ownership and concerns that data could be shared with China’s government.
UNANIMOUS JURY RECOMMENDATIONS TARGETED IN DEATH CASES
JIM SAUNDERS NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE — With backing from Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida lawmakers could scrap a requirement that unanimous jury recommendations are needed before death sentences can be imposed.
Rep. Berny Jacques, R-Seminole, filed a bill (HB 555) on Tuesday that would allow judges to sentence defendants to death based on the recommendations of eight out of 12 jurors. Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, filed an identical bill (SB 450) on Monday.
The proposed change came six years after lawmakers required unanimous jury recommendations in death cases after a ruling by the Florida Supreme Court. But the Supreme Court, with a newly conservative majority, reversed course in 2020 — effectively allowing lawmakers to consider eliminating the unanimity requirement.
The issue also has gained political momentum in recent months after Nikolas Cruz, who murdered 17 people at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018, was sentenced to life in prison. That sentence came after the jury was not unanimous on recommending death.
“It is unconscionable that ‘protest jurors’ can deny justice to the families of victims of heinous crimes in our current system of unanimity,” Ingoglia said in a prepared statement Tuesday. “This is much needed reform to ensure that evil scumbags like Nikolas Cruz do not escape with just a life sentence.”
DeSantis last week released a series of criminal-justice proposals for the upcoming legislation that included getting rid of the unanimity requirement. DeSantis called for using a “supermajority” requirement, meaning more than a 7-5 majority.
But eliminating the unanimity requirement likely would draw debate, with opponents pointing to issues such as cases in which Death Row inmates have been exonerated.
The issue involves the sentencing phase of capital cases, not the guilt phase, where juries are required to be unanimous to convict defendants.
Florida long allowed judges to impose death sentences based on majority jury recommendations. But that changed after major decisions in 2016 by the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court.
In January 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court in a case known as Hurst v. Florida, ruled that the state’s death-penalty system was unconstitutional because it gave too much authority to judges, instead of juries, in imposing death sentences.
To try to carry out the ruling, the Legislature quickly passed a measure that required 10-2 jury votes before death sentences could be imposed.
But in October 2016, in the similarly named case of Hurst v. State, the Florida Supreme Court interpreted and applied the U.S. Supreme Court ruling and said unanimous jury recommendations were required. The Legislature responded in 2017 by putting such a unanimous requirement in law.
After DeSantis took office in January 2019, however, he made appointments that created a conservative majority on the Supreme Court. In 2020, the court reversed course and said unanimous jury recommendations were not needed — though the unanimous requirement has remained in law.
“Last, lest there be any doubt, we hold that our state Constitution’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment … does not require a unanimous jury recommendation — or any jury recommendation — before a death sentence can be imposed,” the 2020 ruling shared by Justices Charles Canady and Ricky Polston said,
But Justice Jorge Labarga wrote a highly critical dissent, arguing that the majority “has taken a giant step backward and removed a significant safeguard for the just application of the death penalty in Florida.”
“Today, a majority of this court recedes from the requirement that Florida juries unanimously recommend that a defendant be sentenced to death,” Labarga wrote. “In doing so, the majority returns Florida to its status as an absolute outlier among the jurisdictions in this country that utilize the death penalty.”
IAN RECOVERY HELPS BOOST TAX COLLECTIONS
JIM TURNER NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
TALLAHASSEE — Hurricane Ian recovery efforts helped state general-revenue tax collections in December that topped projections by 14.9 percent.
But in a report released Tuesday, economists continued to express concerns about inflation, Floridians digging deeper into personal savings and conditions in the housing market.
Net general revenue collections in December totaled $4.083 billion, about $530.5 million over a projection issued in August, according to the report released by the Legislature’s Office of Economic & Demographic Research. The report indicated recovery and rebuilding efforts from the late-September Category 4 hurricane gave a $122.7 million boost, “with about onehalf of the total related to the purchase of autos.”
For December, sales-tax revenues on auto sales beat the August projection by $98.1 million, or 20.5 percent. Sales taxes on building materials and costs were up $34.4 million, or 19.8 percent, from the forecast.
Also, corporate income-tax collections topped a projection by $322.3 million.
rate, but it’s not all homeowners,” O’Connor said. “We are seeing gains in inventory — active listings — and closed sales are continuing. And we are going to see some relaxing or easing in prices, but we’re not going to see a great drop unless or until we see more supply available.”
The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to try to curb inflation. Tuesday’s report by the state economists said the Consumer Price Index for an “all-items” index increased 6.5 percent for the 12 months ending in December, which while “still elevated, it is the smallest 12-month increase since the period ending October 2021.”
As an example, prices for food eaten at home increased by 11.8 percent in December, down slightly from 12 percent in November. Inflation has helped increase sales-tax collections, as taxes are applied to higherpriced items.
The economists have repeatedly pointed in recent months to Floridians tapping into savings to pay expenses. For December, they put the personal-savings rate at 3.4 percent, up from 2.9 percent for November.
1,153,335 policies two weeks earlier, according to data posted Monday on the insurer’s website. Citizens, which was created as an insurer of last resort, has seen massive growth during the past two years as private insurers have dropped customers and raised rates because of financial problems. By comparison, Citizens had 554,537 policies on Jan. 31, 2021, and 776,790 policies on Jan. 31, 2022.
Have
Meanwhile, documentary-stamp tax collections on real-estate transactions were 27.3 percent below expectations, due to “higher than expected mortgage rates and weaker than expected housing market prices,” the report said.
At the 2023 Florida Real Estate Trends summit in Orlando on Jan. 19, Florida Realtors Chief Economist Brad O’Connor said he expects the housing market to be more reflective of the pre-COVID-19 pandemic years as “supply and demand become more balanced.”
“So, it’s true some owners are feeling locked in to their current home and current mortgage
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the savings rate in the 2018-2019 fiscal year was 7.9 percent. The rate jumped to 33.7 percent in April 2020 as people cut back on spending during the early months of the pandemic and started receiving federal stimulus checks.
General revenue is closely watched because it plays a major role in funding schools, health-care programs and prisons. Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected in the coming days to release a proposed budget for the state’s 2023-2024 fiscal year. Lawmakers will use that proposal as a starting point as they negotiate a final spending plan during the legislative session that will start March 7.
