It is hard to believe after a promise from the Governor; a regular session of the legislature and TWO special sessions (as a cost to the Florida tax payer of $40,000 a day), but the property tax issue simply will not go away.
The legislature finally agreed to put something incredibly weak … (12 comments)

Unfortunately for Florida residents, the legislature was indeed serious with its quite frankly pathetic attempt to fulfill the Governor's promise of property taxes dropping "like a rock"
