Infrastructure, Housing, & Home Rule (with George Oliver III) | OTV. Ep 24

Ocoee Commissioner George Oliver III joins the show to discuss his run for Orange County District 2 and his mission to "be the change" in Central Florida. From his personal roots in the Atlanta civil rights movement to the modern-day struggle for local Home Rule, Oliver dives into the high-stakes battle between rapid development and the preservation of our green spaces and essential services. Oliver breaks down why protecting property taxes is vital for maintaining first responders, fire safety, and essential infrastructure. He shares a candid look at his faith-driven leadership style, the importance of infrastructure like 5G and road safety, and why he is willing to risk political retaliation to fight for the residents of District 2.
