VOTE NO on CONSTITUTIONAL REV.

Good meeting today - showed trickery of Property Tax Initiative. CVers would mostly gain nothing, zip, nada. They would lose services - reductions in Connections transport, home care, libraries, fire, police, schools. The 5-yr COST of this tax cut is figured at $9.3 billion to the state, $894 million to PB County. Less services in order to give Crist a tax cut soundbite.
This is an all or nothing vote on a complex pkg that does not solve real problems. Why is this Constitutional Revision being rushed through when the FL Budget & Tax Reform Commission is currently meeting to come up with a better more workable plan.
There is a nasty legal problem of inequality re portability that could open a legal challenge to all inequalities i.e. our homestead exemption and 3% cap. Do you want to lose your basic rights down the road. If the State (Constitution) gets their hands on local taxation here, they will do it again and again.
Howie will put the mtg video on Channel 63 when he gets to it, so check mornings occasionally (I have no definite time info) See for yourselves.
Why is the Ballot Summary mailed to us in such minuscule print!
