The Joint Select Committee on Property Tax Relief and Reform met on May 21, 2007.  Here is their condensed outline of the agreement reached, along with my comments in RED.  This is not the FINAL plan, but it has been agreed upon by the committee, and the letter was issued by Ken Pruitt, President of the Senate and Marco Rubio, Speaker of the House. 

The Florida Legislature meets June 12 to adopt a Tax Reform Plan.  

What I find interesting, is this letter, has not been printed by the Tampa Tribune.  They continue to print misinformation about how our services will be cut.  I received the letter, and most of my tax reform information,  through  my political connections, who hoped I could explain what the new plan would mean to the Florida Taxpayer.

You are all over the tax issue in Florida. If someone Googled Tax and Florida, I'm sure you'd make the top 10 or so.

You are a great resource to folks living in FLA. Best of luck with the current tax upheaval.

Thanks Mary....over 40% of my Google traffic is about tax reform, so I think you're right!!  Yesterday I got a comment on my blog from someone asking how to search for my previous articles, so I did a post explaining how to do that.  People are using my "blog" as a resource....how cool is that? 

BUT, why isn't the media covering the story?? Because they want to scare Floridians into believing our basic services will be cut, NOT that the Government over spending of the last few years has to stop. 

Now, I am really seeing the power of blogging!
