Maxwell Frost calls Amendment 3 a "scam." David Jolly says he anticipates voting no. The "scam"? Raising the non-school homestead exemption to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028. Your home is yours, not the government's. I'm voting YES on 3, and it needs 60%.
🚨 “IF BUDGETS HAVE TO BE CUT, IT’S GOING TO BE PEOPLE.” — SHERIFF RIC BRADSHAW
That threat hits a little differently when taxpayers are also paying at least $35,000 a month for luxury executive office space.
More than $2.5 million over six years.
So before the public gets warned about people and programs being cut, maybe government should explain why Class A office space survived the chopping block.
CUT THE LUXURY BEFORE YOU CUT THE PEOPLE.
🐻 THE BEAR SHOULD’VE STAYED OUT OF THE TAX FIGHT.
The Florida Sheriffs Association decided to oppose Amendment 3.
That was probably before realizing the Meme King knows how to read a budget. 👑😂
So now every time they tell taxpayers why government desperately needs more of our money…
poke.
Helicopters.
poke.
Luxury vehicles.
poke.
Training facilities.
poke.
Travel, consultants, equipment, and spending decisions nobody expected taxpayers to actually examine.
POKE. POKE. POKE. 👉🐻
And suddenly the people lecturing us about “essential funding” seem awfully irritated that someone is opening the receipts.
I’m strongly pro-law enforcement.
I’m just not pro-blank-check.
If you’re going to campaign against taxpayers keeping more of their own money, you’d better be prepared for taxpayers to inspect how you spent the money you already got.
The bear can growl all it wants.
I’m not putting the stick down. 👑
Governor DeSantis dispels anti-Amendment 3 propaganda that it will increase rents.
Amendment 3 actually CAPS valuations on commercial properties at 5% limiting the ability of how much local governments can squeeze commercial property owners.
Paper stock gains generally aren’t taxed until sale. Your home can sit unchanged, produce $0 income & still bring a higher tax bill because nearby sales can raise its government-estimated value. The appreciation is on paper. The tax bill is real. Cut their haul. Vote YES on 3!!!
Florida taxpayers have been taking the haircut for YEARS.
Homes cost more.
Food costs more.
Electricity costs more.
Insurance costs more.
Property taxes cost more.
Families adjusted. We cut things. We delayed things. We made it work.
But when taxpayers demand relief, suddenly government acts like cutting ITS budget is unthinkable.
That’s the part they never explain:
Why is the taxpayer always expected to adjust, but government never is?
Amendment 3 puts property-tax relief directly before Florida voters.
We’ve been taking the haircut.
Now government can sit in the chair.
Amendment 3 isn't radical, it isnt Draconian
It simply increases the homestead exemption from $50K to $150k to match unrealized gains in assessed property values
VOTE YES ON 3!
When you go vote in 30 days, ask yourself this:
Do you really want the Country run by the same party that runs NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Baltimore, Portland, and Chicago?
Vote RED to SAVE America!
How much more do we need to find or prove, to prove God is real.
And that he cleansed the earth with the great flood.
Then sent us his son, sacrificed him, for us.
How will science debunk this one. The Mayans probably built it?
It is in the spot that was called out in the Bible, had different levels like it was described.
GOD is REAL! And can only hope the return comes soon!
@RNCResearch Reminds me of Walter Mondale, Michael "Massachusetts Miracle" Dukakis, John Kerry, actually pretty much all the Dem candidates. Hopeless bunch of losers.
Rep Kathy Castor (D-FL) since 2007 has sponsored 3 bills that were enacted into law.
HR 1226: ACE Kids Act of 2019
HR 6780: A Tampa bldg as “Major Andreas O’Keeffe Post Office Building”
HR 3276: A Tampa bldg as “Rev Abe Brown Post Office Building”
$3.4 million in salary.
Ross Beaty, who founded Pan American Silver and later Equinox Gold, had some interesting comments on silver and the miners:
• Silver supply can't respond quickly to higher prices. Much of it is produced as a byproduct of other metals.
• At $60–$70 silver, miners are generating very strong margins and cash flow.
• Despite that, miner valuations have actually fallen on some metrics as metal prices ran ahead of the equities.
• He expects miners to catch up over the next 12 months as higher metal prices flow through to cash flow, dividends and buybacks.
Beaty has spent decades actually building mines, so his perspective on the supply side is worth hearing.

The polls told you Trump would lose in 2016.
The polls told you Trump would lose in 2024.
Now the polls are telling you to stay home this November.
I've seen this movie before.
Ignore the doomers.
Show up November 3rd.
@JeffreyBrandes I have a simple philosophy. I'll vote for a tax increase (which this is or will be if not defeated) when I believe government is operating as efficiently as possible.
The inefficiency and graft and theft statewide is WAY worse than I thought.
If the push to pass Amendment 3 in Florida has done one thing, it's revealed how bloated city and county officials salaries are.
Now maybe you'll understand why they are fighting so hard against its passage.
Vote YES on Amendment 3.
If you want to see why so many county and city executives are against Amendment 3. Take a look at the salary of the county tax collector for Volusia County.
$222,651. Or about 80k more than @GovRonDeSantis@RonDeSantis

Not one Local Govt exec saying they'd take a pay cut first when Amendment 3 passes
All the gnashing of teeth and threats to axe service because their gravy train is ending
VOTE YES ON 3✅️
@1Nicdar I live in Hillsborough County near a number of assisted living facilities. Every time an ambulance is called a fire truck shows up also. Why? My theory is to pad the statistics. More calls translates to a bigger budget.
To government sycophants voting NO on 3, my FINAL rebuttal: After 3 passes, REMOVE your homestead exemption & give government more of your hard-earned money. Easy to do online & save the gas! Those of us voting YES on 3 won’t stand in your way. Put your money where your vote is.
