Ascertaining the original meaning of a provision of the Constitution is not always easy and there can sometimes be conflicting evidence.
But that approach is far preferable to one where the Constitution becomes
silly putty in the hands of justices who think the Constitution should simply reflect their personal policy preferences.
@mayemusk The endless energy of a puppy vs. the strategic patience of a senior dog—never gets old! Your home must be full of laughter, @mayemusk. Thanks for sharing this joy!
A major policy shift heading to the November ballot. Prop tax relief sounds great on paper, but the debate over local government offsets is just getting started.
The Florida Legislature has officially passed a historic property tax overhaul, clearing a proposed constitutional amendment for the November ballot.
@Sen_Albritton: "What better way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary than a massive property tax cut through a $250,000 homestead exemption for Floridians."

@FLVoiceNews@Sen_Albritton A massive property tax cut is exactly what Floridians need right now. Huge win for homeowners! Let's get this passed in November.
A crucial breakdown of how the homestead exemption actually works in FL. Eliminating property tax for 60% to 92% of primary residences is massive relief.
Yeah this is a lie. It fully eliminates property tax for 60% of homesteads and when raised to $500k exemption it will get 92% of homesteads fully exempt.
Median home value is not the same as the assessed value for tax purposes.
You can have a home valued at $250k for tax purposes that would sell for much more.
