The Florida Trident
@floridatrident
Our mission is to produce well-sourced quality reporting that illuminates complex issues, holds government accountable to its citizens, and enhances civic engagement. The Florida Trident is produced by the Florida Center for Government Accountability.
We are happy to share that the Florida Trident is a finalist for four 2026 Sunshine State Awards, recognizing our investigative reporting on the Sarasota stormwater project, AI weather prediction, and developer influence on county contracts. Links in comments. #DefendDemocracy
