Genuinely do not understand how any of my fellow NYC residents can walk around this city and think “you know what this city needs? Fewer cops.” 😩

I stand by what I said on the floor. It would be a disservice for those walking through those doors to get treatment and not see Sen. Rousons name on the building reminding them that they too can rise above their addiction.

Let's get this done! Do you know that the State of Florida collects over $45 billion dollars a year in sales tax and our 67 counties collect a combined total of $55 billion in ad valorem (value based) property taxes (2024)?

Do you know Florida taxpayers spend $500 million dollars EVERY SINGLE YEAR to run all of our property appraisers offices across 67 counties?

Every tax is imbedded in the final cost of goods and services you purchase. Even if you don't pay a sales tax, the food at the grocery store, for example, has multiple taxes imbedded in the final purchase price: 1. Property Tax on the grocery store and all property the food was

A $5,000 homestead exemption on property value was created in Florida when the tax moved from state to local (in 1934). The median home price in Florida (in 1930) was $2,896. Currently the median home price in Florida is $410,600 and the homestead exemption is up to $50,000.

Imagine a $700,000 homestead exemption. Thats the equivalent of what existed in 1934 when our property tax collections were moved to the cities and counties.

Being able to write off insane amounts of gambling debt while not allowing taxpayers to write off their student loan PAYMENTS is wild. In America, you can’t write off more than $2500 in student loan interest per tax return (marriage penalty prevents even that small deduction if

If we replaced property tax with a revenue neutral sales tax, people who never directly paid a property tax might think their taxes increased. However, they'd no longer be paying the EMBEDDED property that is built into their rent or other consumer good.

The C-43 Reservoir will do more for District 33 (Lee County) than any individual project. Without Ron DeSantis listening to the local experts and government officials in SWFL after winning his election in 2018, this 55 billion gallon facility would be years (if not decades)
