Boca Raton Has a New Mayor. Now What?

Boca Raton Mayor Andy Thomson won his race by just five votes — one of the closest margins in the city's history. Veteran broadcast journalist Michael Williams and Florida veteran journalist/political analyst Brian Crowley sit down with Mayor Thomson for a wide-ranging conversation about the explosive development referendum that dominated the election, the steady erosion of local government authority by the Florida Legislature, the looming threat of property tax cuts that could gut city budgets statewide, and what affordable housing really means in one of South Florida's most expensive zip codes.Mayor Thomson also gets personal — sharing why this issue hits home, literally, through his own family's experience trying to afford life in the city he grew up in.Whether you live in Boca or anywhere in Florida, the forces shaping this city are headed your way.Top of Mind Florida is hosted by veteran broadcast journalist Michael Williams and Florida political analyst Brian Crowley.
