Rich DeVos for instance...

There's a lot of options but the homestead exemption system here has a lot to do with the problem.

The economy being so narrow in terms of tourism and real estate development instead of having significant mfg, energy and high tech sectors is also to blame.

Florida could be a huge boom state in energy production if we'd invest in offshore wind farms and solar electricity for instance.
