Tallahassee-“The citizens of Florida have spoken and today received the tax cut they deserved.  Amendment 1 gives the people of Florida a tax cut- guaranteed by law, and will help reignite Florida’s economy.

I have traveled the state listening to Floridians like the Markowitz’s from Orlando who dreamt of building their own home and the Bonilla’s from Hollywood who wanted to move to a smaller home but felt trapped.

“With the passage of Amendment 1, families just like them will now see an immediate decrease and even greater savings when they move.   Amendment 1 keeps the American Dream of homeownership alive for millions of other Floridians as well as brings relief for businesses and non-homesteaders.”
