People in Florida screamed that their property taxes went up this year forgetting that the idiots voted for it in 2018 with the school safety measures after the ONE school shooting. Idiots!!!! I voted NO to the tax but still get screwed paying the extra taxes because of the emotional voting liberals.
>>People in Florida screamed that their property taxes went up this year
I am always surprised how high property taxes are in FL (at least in the places I look near the water)- was hoping to either retire there or at least have a winter home to get away from the New England weather - but way up on my list of requirements for any 2nd home I buy is a low carrying cost - property taxes, hurricane insurance flood insurance (and possibly sinkhole insurance!) and HOA fees really drive up the cost of an otherwise ‘affordable’ house.
Now I consider buying a place out of the country instead...
Why anyone votes for tax increases is beyond me. I always vote no and will continue to do so.
Property taxes are county level, not statewide.
Maybe you live in a liberal county? Broward?

No liberal ever saw a government program or a tax hike that they didn’t like.
“....but still get screwed paying the extra taxes because of the emotional voting liberals.”
This is why people made new towns in the old days. If you don’t like what they are doing, get away from it. Move to another state or country. If it’s causing that great a problem for you financially or harming your lifestyle, you’ll go broke and feel miserable anyway. Find your comfort spot and go there. If it’s really there, there will be others just like you to welcome you. I did. Good luck.
