VOTING IN FLORIDA: I think it sucks that the new property tax referendum is going to be enacted. I didn't vote for it. I don't think all of the homeowner's in Florida really read and understood the proposal before voting. Alot of residents only listened to & heard, "no property tax", especially the elderly, who encompass at least 60% of our voting population.
It actually isn't a "no property tax at all", but could be a less property tax for "some" people and definitely more sales tax for 'everyone'. It might save a couple of hundred dollars a year for some homeowners, but that is not guaranteed. We are going to lose alot of government sponsored programs. First & foremost is the public school programs that will be eliminated!!! There is already a list of schools in our county that will be closing. Funding for any extracurricular activities will be axed, and forget any other federally funded activities or services.
All I know is that a butt load of government programs are getting axed and people are losing their jobs. How is THAT beneficial to our community? Writing my local congressman, obviously doesn't help, since I already have & it didn't do any good! ***So I need assistance with this one.***
My husband is employed by the county, because of this b*ll sh*t, he may lose his job. If he loses his job, I lose my home, because we are & have to be a 2 income family. The community loses necessary services & thousands of residents lose their jobs. This is not priceless, this is real life, not a mastercard comercial!
it is my life

Sorry, I wish I could give guidance with this, but I'm Canadian. We're socialist (if you ask the right people, anyhow) so, I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
Of course, the lovely and brilliant Michele sent me by.
I am from India. I don't know how to react but I do wish you the very best.
Michele sent me to give ou cyber hugs!
It is reaklly horrendous...! And I don't think it is an accident that these propositiuons are written so that people WON'T really know what they are actually about.
And I find writing my Senators and Congresspeople if NO USE!
They do wha they want and do not really listen to their comstuency...US, THE PEOPL!
So sorry you are going through these difficult times...Here from Michele's today...!
I hope all is notn ss dire as ou predict.Part of the issue, I am sure is that the elderly population of Florida does not feel invested in things like schools, thar are no longer a pivitol point in their lives. Here via Michele.
I'm reading this in a Boston accent. Nine in my family. Working class Irish. I'm edging my way south, but not that far down! Stay in touch.
