STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

It's time for supporters of property tax reform to be counted. Gov. Charlie Crist just launched his "Yes on 1" Web site to promote passage of property tax reform, to be accomplished through a proposed constitutional amendment. "While the amendment is temporarily off the ballot, we have every confidence that the citizens of Florida will be voting on tax reform on Jan. 29," says John Sebree, FAR vice president of public policy. "Floridians have suffered long enough and deserve an opportunity to vote for the largest tax cut in Florida history." The Web site asks visitors to join the reform movement and includes a count of the "number of Floridians who support Amendment 1." Help make that number grow by going to the "Yes on 1" Web site, http://yeson1florida.com/.

Don't let this pass you by...if you are concerned about real estate values here in the Sunshine State property tax reform is a MUST. High property taxes along with high insurance rates are the two main factors quoted most often when you read about flight out of the Florida housing market. Stand up and be counted!!! - Mike W
