In an effort to bring comprehensive tax relief to all Floridians, Mike announced that the Senate and House will hold a series of town hall meetings across the state to hear directly from the voters.
“This issue affects all Floridians. Homeowners, renters, first-time buyers and business owners across our state are all touched by this issue, and it is time that we hear from them directly,” said Senator Haridopolos. “Not every concerned citizen can come to the Legislature – so we are bringing the Legislature to them. Our job is to do the people’s work, and we are looking forward to traveling the state and working with everyday Floridians on this issue.”
According to Governor Bush’s Property Tax Reform Committee, government revenues have grown by 80%, city government revenues by 98% and special taxing districts by 110%. In the same time, the data shows that population and inflation grew by 32% and family income (CPI + population) by just 39%. Read the AP story below.

As a senior citizen I am finally going to hear some answers to my qustions on how I can afford to move to a smaller home and my grandchildren can afford to buy property.
What about all the smaller towns .. how do you intend to get the message out to my neighbors?
Great that you are having the larger towns but it is too far for lots of us..any plans for for smaller places.
