It is just two days until election day when Florida voter's will vote for property tax reform. After attending many meetings and listening to the pros and cons I am still in favor of the change.

Again, I feel that it doesn't go far enough, but it is a start. A "Yes" vote will send the message that Florida does need Tax Reform.

In Florida we have the "Florida Taxation and Budget Commission" which convenes once every 20 years. It is meeting now. This commission reviews the way the state raises and spends money. The recommendations then go before the voters in the November general election.

Common sense dictates that after review, the inequalities of "Save Our Homes" should be addressed. This would require a new tax initiative. If the initiative does away with SOH it would also take away the 3% cap.

Until then some relief is better than none.
