It’s sad how the Governor proposed “Eliminating” property tax altogether so no one can “Steal” your home from you but when it made its way down the line to the various taxing entities it turned into a “Tax cut”
Everyone knows “Cuts” get raised back up the following year so they’re basically useless.
It was even proposed to eliminate property tax for Senior Citizens but the administrative greed snuffed that out.
For years our property tax has been an endless pot of pork for irresponsible projects that start and never get completed, look around “Millions of dollars of abandoned road and building projects litter the City & County as monuments of irresponsibility with ourf property tax dollars”
But somebody got rich off of them.
The waste in the Cities and Counties is obscene.
Not to mention the abysmal Public School record, Children cannot even read, write or perform basic math operations or even speak correctly but the Public education system continually drives up our property taxes every year.

Property tax isn’t the problem; Homeowner’s and vehicle insurance is the problem.

REGARDING:
“Voters are entitled to a fair, clear, accurate and non-misleading ballot statement to assist them in making their critical determination,” Judge David Frank wrote

Thank you sir. Truth in voting is important. We might make a good decision or a bad one, but better it be an informed one.

I hope everyone here likes a 23 percent sales tax to make up for the lost revenue so the county can fix the roads that everyone always complains about.

With twice as many homes in the tax base why weren’t taxes rolled back to begin with? SPEND SPEND SPEND

As expected politicians are getting away with it. They filed a lawsuit so their colleagues can spend as they want in whatever they want without any accountability to the tax payer . Their piggy bank is their piggy bank and we the taxpayers and citizens will not get any relief . I am a regular person with limited value yet this smells like untreated sewage .

In other words, liberals, and their judges, do not want homeowners to have a break, they ‘need’ our money for their pockets.

Someone has to step in to get the local tax and wildly spend government under control. And if it is the state, so be it. Escambia County has proven that both taxing authorities are not capable of self control. YES on #3 and NO for the penny sales tax.
