host: two minutes left in this florida. we will stay -- in this segment. we will stay in florida. linda and fort myers, florida. caller: hi. thanks for c-span should i agree .ore with the previous caller this gentleman represent a corporation and not really the public interest. the bottom line is, you know, corporation is working for the shareholders. host: what is your experience with charter schools? caller: i was a teacher at a charter school, and i found the coulter there to be awful. ulture there to be awful to your on pens and needles, you get paid less, the benefits are less. this gentleman, has sued is probably worth more than i made. host: how long did you stay? caller: one year. i was so glad to get back in the public school system. host: ed pozzuoli on that experience. guest: i appreciate that. i cannot speak to that particular experience, but i am least your teaching where you want to teach, first thing, and second thing, if you look at the entire school system nationwide, the difference between charter schools, public schools, and otherwise, there are many for-profit

why didn't that happen in florida? florida is a little bit different than a lot of the other states you're going to look at around the country. one, because we have annual reassessments of the property taxes so every single year the appraisers get together, the assessors depending on how you are used to the nomenclature, they reappraise every single house across every county. we also have property tax assessments that are capped. we have millage rate caps so we have usually cities, counties and school districts, sometimes we have other overlays that are capped at 10 million. you can't go above 10 millage points to increase the property taxes. they are not very responsive in that way. the other side, though, why didn't that individual's house increase was because we have assessment caps for individual homeowners. so what ends up happening if that person had bought that house for $140,000 and it had gone up to $200,000 that person had to develop a tax cap or this wedge that had gone up over time and it increased to the p

our worst is south florida.oves to central florida and then it moves to north florida as it closes out our fire seasons. >> brangham: and over 100 fires. can you give us a sense of what is causing so many different simultaneous fires? >> well, right now, the majority of our fires are human caused, probably 90% of them. various different things. some of it is yard trash burning where people are spring cleaning and they're burning their leaves. some of it is vehicles, cadillac convertors, that type, or equipment working in the woods to have the wildlands. some of it is arson, incendiary, have some issues with that. then this past weekend, we got some lightning, so we're starting to see the lightning fires evolve as well. >> brangham: most americans think of fires out west in the dry brush and forestland we see there, but i understand the type of vegetation and the way it burns in florida is quite different. >> it is, fire evolved under fire, so it was constant fire prior to humans, and the vegetation tends to be m

think about florida, what you bring to this, reflecting on your own experience in florida and the linkages you see reflecting on the research that was just shared. >> thank you for inviting us and putting together this presentation. six years ago i was sitting up here doing the same thing. my dissertation was how to effectively revenues and expenditures so i have a lot of data and it helped me bring together this idea. my views here, the us government, lawyers get on to me. i want to give you an example with howard and andy, why are revenues not as responsive to the house decline. imagine you are in florida, get a peek of the housing boom, $200,000 and 25% decline, $150,000, when it is $200,000, 10 mils. on fat, when you get to that $150,000 point you think your property tax debate increased going up $3000. that didn't happen. why didn't that happen in florida, it is different from other states around the country. one, we have annual reassessments of property taxes so every single year the appraisers get together depending on how you are used to the nomenclature, get together and reapprais

back to palm beach international airport in florida where president xi jinping's airport in florida wheres aeroplane airport in florida where president xi jinping's aeroplane has taxied to a halt and in the last few minutes that door has opened at the top of the steps. a line of dignitaries has assembled at the foot of the steps and a red carpet has been unrolled, all of which suggests it won't be long before the chinese president makes an appearance. it won't be long before president donald trump flies in as well. he is en route from washington. vital summit due to ta ke from washington. vital summit due to take place between the two leaders. president trump and xi jinping will begin at president trump's florida residents. they will have a banquet later on this evening and further discussions during and after that and a working lunch, as it's described, tomorrow with all manner of highly significant items on the agenda, of course, trade is bound to highlight these talks because of the various points that president trump has raised since being elected and of course during the campaign abo

so i did not happen in florida? florida is different than other states a other states elected around the country. one we have a little reassessment of property taxes so every single year the appraisers get together and every single house across every county. the other thing is property tax assessment that our cap. with caps in several different ways. military cats with counties and school districts and that of other overlays. you can't go about 10 milledge points to increase property taxes. they are not responsive in that way. why didn't the individual's house to increase was because we have individual homeowners. but ends up happening is the person who brought a house for $140,000 is gone up to 200,000, that process developed a tax cap and it increased to the peak. they are taxes cannot change or necessarily go down to the market value of the house price. so we have this sort of job that prevented local governments from having really respond to in reaction in terms of residential property tax base. we also have exe

republican politics in florida. republican politicians, including the governor and attorney general, were trying at the time to hurry up the pace of executions in that state. florida already kills a ton of their prisoners, but the state's governor, rick scott, attorney general pam bondi, they were really crusading in 2013 on wanting to start killing more of that state's prisoners faster. rick scott had in fact signed a bill to make executions go faster in that state. pam bondi is attorney general, was busy in court defining that new law. kill florida prisoners faster. we need to speed this up. we need to speed them through system. we need the pace of executions to be faster. and that's why it was weird in september of 2013 when pam bondi suddenly reversed course. there was a man who was scheduled to be killed on september 10, 2013. his execution was on the calendar basically thought they were going good to go with this one, but in that case, that september 10th execution, pam bondi actually intervened with the state

whether florida should join the multistate case. so this is trump university fraud case. this is the one that trump settled by paying out $25 million to people who said he defrauded them in that scheme. this did not end well for him. but in 2013 that lawsuit against him was just getting started in new york, maybe in florida too? a lot of the complaints from that case were out of florida. and pam bundy was reported to be weighing whether or not florida as a state should join that lawsuit against trump over trump university. pam bundy was also reported that same week to be so inhumanly devoted to raising campaign fund that she rescheduled a man's death to accommodate her fundraising. four days after that article about the trump university lawsuit and pam bundy considering whether or not florida should join it, this check was sent to pam bundy's god blessed re-election campaign. it was sent from the dump foundation. they didn't exactly spell this out in the memo line, but in invisible i think it said you're getting the state of florida

and it's not just florida.ight corvettes were damaged after being devoured by a 30-foot-deep sinkhole at the national corvette museum in kentucky. imagine coming in to find that damage. sinkholes have wreaked havoc across the country -- texas, tennessee, alabama, pennsylvania. now, sinkholes don't get as much attention as natural disasters like earthquakes or hurricanes because many of them are localized. but they can cause just as much damage. florida has more sinkholes than any other state. there have been more than 15,000 verified sinkholes across the state. >> florida has what people call a swiss-cheese geology. >> [ chuckles ] >> we have a limestone bedrock underneath the state, and there's an aquifer. over time, the rock is dissolved by the acidity in ground water. it creates caverns and voids that, when the surface can't support it, they collapse. >> a few months ago, this florida sinkhole reappeared two years after it opened up under the bedroom of a 37-year-old jeffrey bush. he was sucked tragically in

there was a lot of attention in the florida press. there was even national attention about what lengths pam bondi would go to to fund raise. how important fund-raising was to her. at the time, i got to tell you, she was running unopposed but still fund-raising was that important to her. coverage of that -- around that execution date, september 10th. then three days later, an item that was considerably lower profile, except to the people who really cared about this subject, ran in the orlando sentinel. this was september 13th. "orlando sentinel," new york's trump university suit draws attention from florida officials,. quote, complaints filed in florida were among those cited by new york attorney general eric schneiderman last month when he sued trump and trump university and the trump entrepreneurship initiative alleging civil fraud. the new york suit accuses trump of making false claims to lure people into spending thousands of dollars on questionable courses and mentoring services 37 trump has denied the allegations and described th

we can show you pictures from florida, no sign ofany show you pictures from florida, no sign of any significantet. you can see preparations on the tarmac for the arrival of the chinese president xijinping. i'm told that a plane from china has landed in the last few moments. it's reasonable to assume that given the people lined up to meet the occupant of it that it's reasonable to assume the chinese president is among those on board. it takes a little while for a plane to arrive at the designated point where the actual president will appear. we do know that president trump is en route to florida. you will have seen that playing, if you were watching earlier, you will have seen that plainly washington en route to miami. when both men have arrived, their meeting will begin with a banquet later this evening. at president trump's florida headquarters mara lago. there will be further discussions tomorrow for this key summit with president trump and xijinping of china. we will go back later to see the formalities when the chinese president appears. now, in the meantime, it's time for sports day. hello

you're somewhere in florida. i think i can tell by what is behind you. but let's talk about these pictures, u.s. military formal greeting before he's swept away. why are they in florida instead of the white house? >> yeah, you know, it's interesting. there was a lot of back and forth over who invited who to mar-a-lago versus the white house. the president's aides have said that the president decided to invite president xi to mar-a-lago. but really what's going to be interesting during these meetings is how much ground they have to cover and that's something they can do whether it's at mar-a-lago or at the white house, of course. this is going to be president trump's first opportunity to really tackle the bold campaign promises he made with regards to rebalancing the trading relationship between the united states and china. of course, that's something that president trump has railed against for years, even before launching his presidential campaign. and now he gets his first opportunity to try and make some inroads on that. so they are going to be discuss

joining us from the florida is kevin cirilli. the white house yesterday insisted there would be no golf at this meeting. what is the white house expecting us -- telling us to expect over the next few days. kevin: no golf but plenty of policy. air force one is expected to land at palm beach air for. president trump is being accompanied by senior administration officials such as wilbur ross and steve mnuchin. they will then head to mar-a-lago will they -- where they will begin a series of meetings with president xi as well as his administration officials on a host of topics, the two most prominent being national security with a focus on north korea, as well as trade policy. two areas that we could see on trade policy some developments include nuclear energy as well as the auto industry. what are we expecting to come out of this? pressis no joint conference on the schedule. are we going to see any sort of documentation from the white house after about what accomplished here? kevin: this is a bit different from the past where we have

they are meeting at mr trump's resort in palm beach in florida and ina resort in palm beach in floridant we'll get the view of our china editor, carrie gracie, on the meeting. first, jon sopel. president trump and the first lady arrived in florida for what promises to be the most important meeting of his presidency. president xi arrived, two superpowers with different missions. we are getting ripped by china. we can't allow china to rate our country. travel down the coast from here to the port of miami and you can see what the president is talking about. far more goods are coming in from china than american products going the other way. it's a massive imbalance and the president has threatened to introduce tariffs, which could spark a trade war. but the local mayor said that must be avoided. the president would like to see more of the balancing exports and imports but i don't think we are going to get into a trading war with china. it would not be good for the united states or china. and the picture is more complex than the campaign rhetoric. take apple's iphones, an american company t
