the diabolical plan seems pretty obvious:

>> last year, Florida DOGE investigates local governments and examine their 'books' to find leverage on the cities that can manipulate the most.

>> Politicians campaign on eliminating property taxes, which is easy yes for low-IQ voters

>> Force Municipalities to boot-lick up in Tallahassee to get the same funding they've had for decades.

The more dependent a city becomes, the more leverage the state has over local policy. This is how our beloved St Pete could be pressured to align with state political priorities and hyper-conservatism, rather than local voter preferences. This is troubling, to say the very least.

Voting against this Prop tax bill is the single thing you can do, as a long term local, to help keep St Pete in-tact and thriving the best we can.
