This week, The Argus Foundation and the Gulf Coast Builders Exchange (GCBX) will be hosting a Meet the Minds luncheon with a special guest from The James Madison Institute to assess and evaluate the outcomes of local impact fees and land-use regulations surrounding workforce housing in the state of Florida.
At this special joint meeting, Dr. Bob McClure, President and CEO of the James Madison Institute, a free-market think tank and nonpartisan research and educational organization, will be leading discussions on the effects these fees and regulations are having on housing in our state.

He has been published at both the state and national level on numerous topics, including private property rights, tax policy, healthcare and education reform, lectured nationally on multiple policy issues, and quoted on the floor of the U.S. Senate. He has also testified before numerous state and national governmental bodies, and appears regularly on radio and television, making dozens of public appearances annually. He was appointed to the Florida Committee for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and was a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of School Choice. He also served in an advisory capacity on the transition teams of both Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi, and served on the Economic Advisory Council for Governor Scott.
