Sean Hannity told listeners on his radio show on Tuesday that he’s relocated to Florida, citing New York’s tax rates as a major reason for the move.
“We are now beginning our first broadcast from my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida,” Hannity said on his iHeartRadio show. “I am out. I am done. I am finished in New York.”
The Fox News host said that “finally for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I am living in that share my values.” He named the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, and its two Republican senators.
Florida has no state income tax. New York’s state tax on incomes above $5 million reaches 10.3%.
“This migration out of blue states with high taxes, burdensome regulation, high crime, horrible school districts is real,” Hannity said.
The tax situation in New York and other large states was exacerbated by the 2017 tax law, a signature piece of legislation signed by President Donald Trump, who also switched his residency to Florida. The 2017 bill put limits on the amount of state and local taxes that taxpayers can deduct on their federal returns.
Hannity has often railed against Democratic governors of major blue-states. He moderated a recent debate between California Governor Gavin Newsom and DeSantis, but just about all of the questions were negatives aimed at the Golden State.
On his radio show, Hannity also mentioned the possibility that residents in California and New York will pay reparations. “It won’t be impactful to me,” he said.

more than 2800 books from school, including the American Heritage Children’s Dictionary, Webster’s Dictionary for Students, and Merriam-Webster’s Elementary Dictionary, and placed them into storage, reports Popular Information.The justification for the dictionary removals is that certain definitions or entries contained in the texts may violate “Don’t Say Gay,” the state’s “parental rights” law that prohibits students in grades K-12 from being exposed to LGBTQ-related content and “age-inappropriate” material. Under the law, residents of any county are empowered to demand the removal of any library book that “depicts or describes sexual conduct,” as defined under Florida law, regardless of whether or not the book is pornographic.Rather than consider individual complaints, the Escambia County School Board adopted an emergency rule last June that required the district’s librarians to review all library books and remove any works believed to contain such content.Because most dictionaries contain in-depth definitions of sex and sexual anatomy and define LGBTQ terms like “gay” and “lesbian,” they were flagged for removal.To purge the flagged books, school libraries in Escambia County were closed at the start of the school year.

Every January, we get the opportunity to start fresh, wipe the slate clean: a tabula rasa of new beginnings opens before us, full of hope and promise. That was before Donald Trump.

Bush most recently — and move into the private sector and do different work were sundered forever on Jan. 6, 2021 with the violent insurrection at the Capitol.
