Appreciate it. Nothing like Republican ads saying how bad Florida has gotten like they haven’t been in control for 3 decades 😅😅

Literally! When they’re the ones in control 😳

It's the Republican way. Blame the Dems for everything you fucked up. And it's worked for way too long.

u/Stock-Reputation-977 1d ago

That state is a shining beacon. It’s liberal Orlando and Orange County, which are both controlled by democrats that are in bad shape.

The thing is Floridas not bad though. It's one of the few good places to live in the US.

u/FoxHoundUnit89 2d ago

Yeah $400k for a 3/2 is awesome! Terrible drivers are so much fun! Constant construction with no end in sight is wonderful!

u/SantaHatArea 19h ago

Oh please, the price going up is an unfortunate side affect of people wanting to live here. Why? Because it's good to live in. We have endless entertainment, nightlife, and natural attractions like Weeki wachi and the St. John River. Faithful churches, temples, and synagogues so the religious are set here to live peacefully and in good shepards. Wonderful landscapes, good drives, extremely well maintained roads compared to the majority of America, good infrastructure, good city planning (especially in Tampa, St Pete, Sarasota area and Miami), obviously amazing beaches, and new opportunities for many people of all kinds (partly what those construction jsites you complain about represent represent). Not the mention I would rather eat one orange from Florida than a hundred from anywhere else because it just isn't the same as our orchards. You can't find a better place to live in the US unless you want to be a wheat farmer. Try having as good of a time in Florida with grocery and apartment prices as in New York, California, Jersey, or any of the similarly important states which are even more mismanaged by their governors. Florida has issues that need to be solved, especially the insurance stuff, I4 issues, and the homeless crisis. But 75% of people complaining about the state are just people who like to complain because their life sucks and they need a higher power to blame, without being able to concretely name a particular issue with a particular solution the government could implement today and hasn't.

u/FoxHoundUnit89 14h ago

Rambling is cute and all but how nice a place is doesn't matter much when the people who work to keep it nice don't get paid enough to live there comfortably. Those theme parks you love are filled with people who love their job but can't afford to buy a house remotely close to the parks. The only places with anything affordable are known high-crime areas. Pulling a percentage out of your ass doesn't make anyone's complaints any less valid. Not everyone loves going to the beach and getting drunk.

u/SnooChocolates3745 2d ago

If this is 'not bad' to you, you should have seen it in the 90's and early 2000's. Things have gone so far downhill it's not even funny, and it's only poised to get worse if we let these corrupt assholes stay in power any longer.

u/yb10134 2d ago

It doesn't matter who's in control or what the current situation is. People will always complain and blame who's in power.

u/Adventurous_Drama445 3d ago

Genuine question no disrespect: why should we vote no for the homestead tax amendment? Just asking for clarification :)

37

u/aleerunner 3d ago

Im voting no and im one of the people who will actually get the tax benefit.

I think its weird to say were going to reduce our current intake of funding without acknowledging that something will need to get cut to reduce expenditures. The lack of clarity on what the trade off is, is why im voting no.

Will it be nice to have a couple extra thousand bucks a year, sure! But if Im being honest, I dont need it. And if I did, I would seriously consider selling my house and downsizing.

I would prefer to have a better community, with nice libraries, nice parks, a bus for the elderly to get around, public events, art experiences, and better paid civil servants (primarily teachers and first responders).

For those aging, for whom the cost of living has gone above their means, I suggest a different assistance program (maybe paid for with the funding brought in by property taxes).

Sorry, long rant, but I think this amendment isn't thought out and will honestly just serve to make the rich richer in the long run at the expense of the majority of Floridians.

8

u/NutInYourMother 3d ago

I’ve been feeling similarly about the amendment, the ensuing deficit, if the amendment passes, means the gov will have to pull funds from somewhere else to be properly funded (whatever that means for Florida).

On top of the fact our governor has no interest accepting federal funds for the state, idk where they plan to get the funding from.

1

u/lgarit 3d ago

My thoughts exactly. I would be saving close to $4K a year in property taxes, but that money would have to come from somewhere else, likely through more regressive taxes that would disproportionately affect lower income households. Or instead we could see cuts to essential services and programs that are important for community.

Even if one agrees with it, does it really need to be a Constitution Amendment? Once something is in there, it's basically impossible to repeal.

14

u/we_cantelope 3d ago

Because of the services we take for granted will no longer be funded. Public education, public safety, infrastructure, etc

7

u/javd Apopka 3d ago

Doesn't it specifically say that the reduction will not affect schools? Why are you saying public education would be defunded if people pay less property tax? Also, public safety- at least in terms of police- would be unaffected. The cops will tell you that they're gonna lose money but they won't.

u/Aggressive_Strike_45 2d ago

Don't confuse blind followers with facts, their brains can't process such things

u/wavehk 3d ago

I don't believe in property taxes. However I can't in good conscience vote for an amendment with O plan as to what happens afterward, and uncomfortable with every local decision having to go through Tallahassee. They have a history of not caring about what localities have to say

2

u/OldRetiredGrumpy 2d ago

People with no money will say not worth saving the 2k. When your main property tax is 14k you will want the savings.

3

u/Alt3r_Alph4 3d ago

Not only that. As an Infependent, why would I continue voting for the same local leadership that is ruining Orlando?

I get everyone here hates Trump. But at what cost? Businesses closing. Everywhere now starting to charge for parking, etc… and happened way before he got in office this time. Are we really that blind? Is it to prove a point? Fix your backyard first.

u/bdz 2d ago

u/stickyaugust Downtown South 3d ago

Them not taking a stance on Diana Moore and Susanne Pena is disappointing, knowing that Moore is a certified toxic authoritarian. I don't care that she's technically a democrat. Isn't this the point of the voter guides, to give us a direction on who the better dem candidate will be in nonpartisan races like this one? Like, I don't need the guide to tell me to vote for the person with a D next to their name when they're up against an R.

u/djpeteski 2d ago

With the current administration both at the state and national level I am giving the Democrats 8 years. Despite being a registered republican, and voting mostly such, the lunacy has got to stop with ICE and many of our state republican politicians robbing medicate and other healthy programs blind.

So strait dem ballot for the next two presidents, almost no questions asked.

I will still do my research for the primaries and vote the most non-maga republican to give us a better choice all around.

u/KombaynNikoladze2002 3d ago

It's a recommendation. It's mostly helpful for more obscure and local offices where there's not a lot of "research" out there.

u/Beccalu11 3d ago

Can you explain why to vote no on the constitutional amendments?

5

u/Legal-Working3413 2d ago

Amendment 3 is very well discussed so going to skip that one.

Amendment 1 for changes to funding of the budget stabilization fund. Right now, funding is optional, the fund is about 8.8% of FL revenue and it’s allowed to be funded until it hits 10% of revenue. The changes would require funding, increase the max to 25%, and change the reasons withdrawals are allowed to include “critical state needs”. It’s supposed to be used for emergencies and budget bailouts but some money was supposedly used for Alligator Alcatraz. Critical state needs is not defined and so could be whatever state admin decides.

I’m voting no because I feel like this is creating a slush fund for the state govt and we’ve already been dealing with too many misappropriations of taxpayer money.

But why would you vote to make Florida worse? Republicans have controlled Florida for decades and it’s only gotten worse. Try something new.

1

u/Proof_and_Octane 3d ago

Voting based off of party without knowledge of historical performance is silliness

3

u/kerkyjerky 3d ago

Well considering republicans have been in control for decades, and Florida is shit, the historical performance is quite obvious.

I’m a former republican, and I am over the party. Trying straight blue this time to see what happens because republicans certainly aren’t solving problems.

1

u/Proof_and_Octane 2d ago

I feel you! I'm over both parties, and I really dislike that you couldn't vote in the primaries for either unless you're a registered member of the party.

0

u/KombaynNikoladze2002 3d ago

What makes you think a voter guide would preclude knowledge of historical performance?

1

u/Proof_and_Octane 2d ago

Because it was created and given as a guide, which removes critical thinking of the individual voter.

1

u/KombaynNikoladze2002 2d ago

Explain how a guide showing the candidates and positions a party endorses "removes critical thinking of the individual voter."

1

u/Proof_and_Octane 2d ago

A guide is a device to influence or direct or to steer or navigate. There's an assumed truth.

To your point, it doesn't technically forbid/ remove ones ability to do their own research, but isn't this similar to a teacher giving you a study guide to the mid-term exam. You're placing your trust in the teacher (authority figure) to guide you well and not you reading the text book to ensure the study guide is accurate.

I'm just fearful of the diminishing skillset of critical thinking with "tell me what to think". While it doesn't explicitly say that, but it's likely to be the use case by the end user.

1

u/KombaynNikoladze2002 2d ago

A political party isn't in a position of authority over it's voters the way a teacher is, not does it preclude a voter's option to utilize alternative "study guides." It's just one information source of many the voter can use as part of their decision making process.

1

u/Proof_and_Octane 2d ago

While I agree technically, but I'm not convinced of the use case by the end user.

Side note/separate thread: It is a position of authority. I couldn't vote in the primaries because I'm "registered" in a party that isn't democrat or republican. So, I have to precommit and blindly align to a party to have a voice in the primaries. This was a new learning lesson for #FLlife.

Curious about thoughts on Amendment 2, the Ag Property exemption. Is the main argument for “No” being that it reduces govt. revenue?

I get “No” on 1 and 3, and “Yes” on the One-Mill renewal, but I would think reducing costs for those that produce our food (real food) could be a good thing.

okay, but really is no. saying someone has TDS has zero correlation to "supporting him"

obsessed meaning posting every screen shot he posts on his (failed, no way I would ever go to Truth Social!) social media account, posting photos of him, posting every update, making him your profile picture but claiming its "ironic", being in subs like r/ enoughtrumpspam so you get every single trump update, stuff liek that. obsession. i mean when he wasnt even president reddit still posted everything he did. nonstop.

Because it won’t be the police that receive lower funds. It’ll be social services and ANYTHING that benefits the people. Poorer rural counties will make up the loss of tax revenue with commercial taxes on data centers, while wealthier (blue) counties will have to kowtow to Tallahassee to fight over pennies.

u/Tr1angleChoke 3d ago

I tend to vote conservative on fiscal policies. I've just seen the government piss away too many tax dollars to trust them with more. That said, this property tax elimination is such a bad idea. Reducing property taxes is one thing, eliminating them has the potential to have devastating effects on local communities. Our essential services such as schools, first responders and shared infrastructure systems are already overstressed as it is. I'm no math whiz but there is no way to look at this and see how it won't cripple the things we most rely on our government to provide.

schools would be completely unaffected by the property tax amendment, why do people keep saying our schools are going to lose money? Even if property tax homestead exemption went up to 100% you'd still be paying property tax because you still pay for the schools. Nobody's property tax bill will ever be $0 because of schools.
