Kristen Arrington for Florida
Today, I voiced my concerns on the Senate floor regarding SJR 2F, the proposed constitutional amendment on property taxes and voted no. 🏛️ While property tax relief is an important discussion, this proposal was rushed through the process without fully addressing critical questions about its impact on local governments and their ability to fund essential services such as public safety, infrastructure, and schools. The affordability crisis facing Florida is much larger than property taxes alone. If we are serious about helping Floridians who are hurting, we should be addressing housing costs, insurance costs, and the barriers facing first-time homebuyers and seniors on a fixed income—not advancing a proposal that leaves so many Floridians behind. This one size fits all approach will not provide any relief for renters which make up 1/3 of the residents in our state. ⚠️ Floridians deserve a transparent conversation and clear answers before such a significant change is made to be aware of the potential loss of essential services. The proposal will now appear on the November 3 ballot, where voters will have the final say and it will need 60% of the voters support to pass. ✅ I encourage everyone to learn more about the amendment and make their voices heard at the ballot box. 🗳️ Watch here: vimeo.com/1197789887?sha… 🗳️ ----- Hoy expresé mis preocupaciones en el pleno del Senado sobre la SJR 2-F, la propuesta de enmienda constitucional sobre impuestos a la propiedad, y voté en contra. 🏛️ Aunque el alivio del impuesto a la propiedad es una conversación importante, esta propuesta fue apresurada sin responder completamente preguntas críticas sobre su impacto en los gobiernos locales y su capacidad para financiar servicios esenciales como seguridad pública, infraestructura y escuelas. La crisis de asequibilidad que enfrenta Florida es mucho más amplia que solo los impuestos a la propiedad. Si realmente queremos ayudar a los floridanos que están enfrentando dificultades, debemos abordar el costo de la vivienda, el costo de los seguros y las barreras que enfrentan los compradores de vivienda por primera vez y los adultos mayores con ingresos fijos, en lugar de avanzar una propuesta que deja atrás a tantos floridanos. Este enfoque de “una sola solución para todos” no brindará ningún alivio a los inquilinos, quienes representan un tercio de los residentes de nuestro estado. ⚠️ Los floridanos merecen una conversación transparente y respuestas claras antes de realizar un cambio tan significativo, para comprender la posible pérdida de servicios esenciales. La propuesta ahora aparecerá en la boleta electoral del 3 de noviembre, donde los votantes tendrán la decisión final y necesitará el apoyo del 60% de los votantes para ser aprobada. ✅ Animo a todos a informarse más sobre esta enmienda y a hacer escuchar su voz en las urnas. 🗳️ Véalo aquí: vimeo.com/1197789887?sha… 🗳️

Proud to vote YES on HJR 1F today. If voters approve it, the homestead exemption jumps from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 then to $250,000 in 2028. Florida homeowners are being crushed. This is how we fight back, allow the people to decide.

Speaker @Daniel_PerezFL shaped the Florida House with principle, discipline, and vision. The FL House and our state will be better off because of his leadership. Congratulations, Mr. Ambassador. Florida is very proud to see you represent the United States in Brazil.

“The $250k homestead exemption would cost school districts $5 billion annually, according to .. the nonpartisan (FPI).FPI also said in many fiscally constrained rural counties, due to the lower assessed value of properties,a $250k homestead exemption is close to full elimination”

78% of black kids are raised without a father. If we’re going to lower black violence, we must address its root causes. As Governor, I will.

The Governor's property tax proposal was released roughly 24 hours ago. The Legislature is expected to vote on it early next week. For a proposal that could fundamentally restructure local government finance in Florida, that's warp speed. As I see it, lawmakers have three options. Realistically, only two are viable. 🧵

Sen. Don Gaetz throws his full weight behind the DeSantis tax proposal, warning that soaring assessments are squeezing families on fixed incomes. "I believe that property taxes amount to renting your property from the government." flvoicenews.com/sen-don-gaetz-…
