Thinking the property tax revenue is their own, the local governments have been spending our money like drunken sailors. Property taxes are way too high in Florida.
I like what Crist said a month or so ago, "Municipalities have to learn to live within their means just like Florida residents who face huge property tax bills and insurance premiums."
How much are you willing to wager that even in the depressed real estate market here, with declining home prices, that municipalities will still increase their appraisals, or, possibly, their millage rates to keep from losing any revenue?
