Or maybe just spend less. FL will have four straight years of spending reductions once next yearโs budget is signed later this month.
Some localities have doubled spending. Operating at spending levels of, say, two years ago is easily achievable โ and would greatly help our homestead property owners.
Florida voters will decide in November whether to approve the sweeping property tax overhaul signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis โ and one county commissioner wants residents to understand whatโs at stake.

Because itโs standing tall, white, and unapologetically American at night. No rainbow projection, no โdecolonize thisโ signs, and zero safe spaces. Their entire worldview just had a meltdown.
Florida processes more than 10 million votes in a matter of hours.
California takes days โ or sometimes even weeks โ to count the votes.
Itโs pathetic โ and itโs corrosive to our civic culture.
Update on the tragic bus crash in Virginia:
Five people are dead, including a 13-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, after the driver of a motorcoach slammed into stopped traffic on I-95.
@FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs and our investigators are on the ground at the crash site working with the @NTSB.ย ย
Local police confirm the driver of this motorcoach โ a man from China who became a U.S. citizen โ doesnโt speak English. He received his commercial drivers license from New York State in 2024.
Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding statesโ accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who canโt speak English.
If you canโt be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus.
Our investigators are reviewing New York licensing records, training documentation, and the driver's history. Any company, trainer, or school that contributed to putting an unqualified driver on the road will face intense scrutiny.
Weโll share more updates soon.
My prayers are with the loved ones of the innocent lives lost and those who were hurt in this horrific crime.
๐จ BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just announced the effective ABOLISHMENT of most homeowner property taxes across the state, which will require a vote on the ballot this November
LET'S GO!! โ๏ธ
The amendment would also BLOCK local governments from wasting that portion of tax revenue, making sure it ONLY goes to services like police, fire, school, etc.
The plan PRIORITIZES young people and those with low-to-medium value homes, giving immediate zero taxes to 60% of Florida primary homeowners, later rising to 90% or more
DESANTIS CONVENING THE LEGISLATURE:
"Begin with an initial raising of the homestead limit to $250,000 for all Florida homesteaders."
$250K limit = the first $250,000 value of a home is $0 TAXED
Then the plan is to raise it to $500,000, which gives over 90% of Florida homeowners $0 IN TAXES ๐ฅ
"A $250,000 limit, that eliminates property tax for 60% of Florida homeowners. Once you put a schedule in, and this would be something that we'd work with the legislature on after the vote is taken in November, if it's successful, when you raise to $500,000 limit, that's 92% of all Florida residents would be tax-free."
"I'd rather focus on folks who are new homeowners, young people, seniors on fixed income, you know, are middle-class folks, and so this will be really significant."
๐จ Stephen Miller says the scale of welfare fraud is SO MASSIVE that eliminating it alone could balance the ENTIRE federal budget
"The amount that has been fleeced from us is in the HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars."
"We could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them."
This should infuriate EVERY taxpayer.
A judge hundreds of miles away in D.C. is trying to shut down Floridaโs Atlantic Red Snapper season on the eve of Memorial Day weekend, devastating fishermen, charter captains, and coastal communities. I urge @POTUS and @CommerceGov to act immediately to protect our right to fish and stop this judicial overreach.
