Just looked over my “Notice of Proposed Property Taxes”.

The Children’s Trust accounts for 2.42% of my estimated total property taxes due for 2023. I can live with that.

In all fairness, knowing what we know now, we need a recall vote on the Children’s Trust referendum. Let’s see what the taxpayers think now.

Thanks, to the ones who voted for this and now admit it was a scam. It was nothing but another government bureaucracy to make a select few, money off taxpayer backs.
Can anyone tell me how much money it has taken in? What percentage of that actually went to helping kids? How much does administrative make? You will never get these answers.
Just like ECUA, spend all you get and then demand more.

No need for duplication of services and at worst, a politically based expenditure of public funds with no oversight or input by the public on how and why the monies will be spent. A blank check without limitation on spending and the guaranteed increase of this tax for every year thereafter.

Im soooo sick of politics, both in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Both Counties are being ruined because of politics and greed.

Full disclosure…I did vote for this because as a 33year former teacher, I saw a great need in this county for classroom needs students needs and infrastructure updates…silly me…I should have known that with such an emphasis on building and development all over this county, I should have realized that the ones that need help the most, were not going to benefit. I DID NOT VOTE FOR MONIES TO BE SPENT ON REAL ESTATE, I VOTED ON MONIES TO BE SPENT ON THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS NEEDS!

There is absolutely no need for the children’s trust. Hogwash money grab to support parents that wont support their own children. Children have gotten to school and home again forever This should not be an ad valorem tax. I can see no benefit I receive and yet I am made to pay this. “The Children’s Trust will provide early childhood education, safety, developmental, preventative, health, and well-being services, including after school and summer enrichment programs.” Welcome to socialism. Pay your own way and support your own.
