I’d like to think that I’m intelligent enough to recognize that a “lame duck” governor is too busy looking to his own political future, rather than the ACTUAL needs of the people of the state he’s supposed to care about. But who am i, after all, just a retired HS English teacher, one who understands who pays for which salaries and services, and it’s NOT Tallahassee!
Once again, a cleaver law designed to limit the impact of the citizen VOTER, in favor of the wealthy and the entitled, thus allowing the CENTRALIZION OF POWER to go to the STATE.
This is just one more way to shift tax burden away from the rich and on to the poor. I hope renters are smart enough to vote against this. Rents will go up as landlords shift the cost of their property tax increase on to renters. Rental property is not homestead property and taxes will have to increase on all non homestead property. Rent will increase on small businesses. Meanwhile those wealthy enough to own their home will get a tax break. The richest Floridians will benefit the most because the rich tend to own the most expensive homes and the more expensive the home the higher the property tax.

Excellent look at this issue, thank you.
