I've been in Florida for 5 1/2 years and if there is one thing I've learned it's that if the Miami Herald and Sun Sentinel are against something you favor, you're on the right side of history. When they come out attacking it, you know it's over the target.
Today in Tampa, I outlined the Save Our Homes from Excessive Property Taxes plan that will eliminate taxes on homesteads.
Property tax revenue collected by local governments has nearly doubled in the past seven years (from $32 billion to $60 billion) and is expected to reach an astounding $83 billion by 2032.
Florida homeowners need relief. Now is the time to stand up for taxpayers, enact a historic reform, and save the home of every Floridian.
Ron DeSantis: “[People] have their homes paid off and they bought it 30 years ago for a certain amount. Now they're being told it's worth so much more and they have to pony up more and more money. It's almost like they have to pay rent to the government, just to be able to enjoy their property. That's wrong.”
Thoughts?
Local govts in FL took in $32 billion in property tax revenue in 2019 (the state doesn’t get property tax revenue).
In 2026 local govts are taking in $60 billion.
They will still be getting massive amounts of revenue even if homestead properties are exempted.
And don't think anyone at the hospital will get them up and about. They don't care if they get weaker, means more money for healthcare providers and insurance companies
Genuine bit of advice:
If you have a close relative over the age of 75 in the hospital, and you love them, make sure they get MOVING as soon as possible as they recover. Do not let them lie in bed for days.

I don't think she has a uterus problem, she has a leg problem
