My question is how did these communities survive just 6 yes, that is right 6 short years ago on half the money? 6 Years ago, in 2019 the municipalities took in 32 Billion dollars in Tax revenue, and now they take in 60 Billion. Inflation would account for some but come on Double? The spending pre-COVID has to come back, cities and towns spent and hired like the COVID money from the Federal Government was going to last FOREVER. Now this it has dried up it is time to get rid of that COVID money budgets.
Jacksonville is the biggest city of 1 million you are correct but they were done counting by 11PM that night NOT 3 weeks later which they are saying. Since they have said that like 80% of the people vote by mail as reported it should be easy to count those votes and have them out the door. The ENTIRE state of Florida with it's 16 million registered voters was also complete in one night during the presidential election which you find many more people voting than in a primary, as a matter of fact the numbers for this election in California are anemic compared to a presidential election. So, no as an election official in my old home state I do not agree.
@keem773@arcademan@GovPressOffice Now let's just do LA which this is the race they are talking about. Florida has 24 Million people and LA county has??? 3,860,000 o you want to change your argument?
Hardly the windfall to the taxpayer or the sky is falling loss to the county.
Let’s look at a generic Sumter County Florida Tax Bill:
What you see highlighted on this bill, based on what was passed out of the legislature, is the ONLY things that will be changing.
The first year when they raise the Homestead Exemption to $150,000.00. The new tax rate will be the following Assed Value $312,420.00 minus Exemption $150,000.00 Equals taxable $162,420 times the mill rate of .00489 which will Equal New tax of $794.23.
Then you add all the other that remain the same: $794.23 + $1,411.81 + $29.74 + $7.53 + $448.31 + $320.71 New Tax equals $3,021.33 vs old tax $3,520.59 a savings of $499.26
The second year following the same math with an Exemption of $250,000.00, The new tax rate will be the following Assed Value $312,420.00 minus Exemption $250,000.00 Equals taxable $62,420 times the mill rate of .00489 which will Equal New tax of $305.23
Then you add all the other that remain the same: $305.23 + $1,411.81 + $11.43 + $2.90 + $448.31 + $320.71 New Tax equals $2500.39 vs old tax $3,520.59 a savings of $1,020.20
@RepTedLieu You are such a loser, why do you not spend time on doing things that will benefit the people that you represent rather than just spend your entire day attacking a the president. Do you have any policies or ideas at all you want to put forward and work in congress on?

@krassenstein So, Iran attacked a neighboring sovereign country and you appear to be rooting them on. This is not a military target or a US base it as you say is an international airport and you feel that it is OK for Iran to do this obviously just to what maybe show up the US military? SAD!!!
Can you just explain WHY the tax income for counties went from 32 Billion to 60 Billion in 5 years? Did these counties do hiring and spending based on COVID money from the Federal government KNOWING full well the Federal money would dry up sometime? Bottom line It is time to go back to pre coving spending
Let's be honest this will not be a windfall to the taxpayer or a major sky is falling loss to the counties.

This is all if the counties DO NOT decide to change the mil rate.
@10gNembutal4You@CalltoActivism Rainy day funds in Florida are needed for hurricanes and getting back up and running. They have worked so hard to try and ensure power is mak within 72 hours after they hit and since I have been here with DeSantis as Governor they have met that milestone each and every time.
