Nonprofit hospitals are collecting billions in taxpayer subsidies and spending big on art collections, social club memberships, and multi-million dollar CEO salaries.
Florida has given preferences for homestead properties in its constitution for nearly 100 years. Right now, revenue from non-homestead residential properties exceeds that from homestead residences.
And the proposal reduces the property tax liability exposure for businesses. This is also a de facto protection for renters.
The Wall Street Journal defending bloated local budgets and opposing property tax relief for Florida homeowners.
Florida hasn‘t raised the homestead exemption outright since 1980 and the last partial exemption increase was enacted almost 20 years ago.
Both times people made similar arguments against property tax relief.
Although the ballot measure passed by the Legislature differs from my proposal, it is the best opportunity Floridians have had in years to obtain meaningful relief.

The Committee of Five—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert Livingston, and Roger Sherman—was appointed to draft the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago today.

Why FDA needs to act now. Alexis Rodriguez, another former pharmacy assistant, was blunt: "I honestly think they were just after the money. They didn't care about patient safety." @drmakaryfda@repgusbilirakis@senrickscott@repcarlos@replaurellee https://t.co/uwGLyjzN0I
Appreciate the decisive measures by @DrMakaryFDA and the @US_FDA to shield patients from the risks posed by unverified 'copycat' drugs. Quality and safety standards are critical, not just recommendations—they save lives. #PatientSafety#FDA https://t.co/wwrxSjnx6T
