Florida AFL-CIO President Cindy Hall introduced a short film about Colorado’s
experience with TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights) and how the measure crippled
the state. Colorado’s TABOR measure is the same legislation as Florida’s
Property Tax issue being debated now in Tallahassee. The film is available for
download at
http://www.cbpp.org/ssl-series.htm and Saul encourages all members to
view this film.
Your FLORIDA THEATRE is in jeopardy. We have only two weeks to influence
our survival as a cultural entertainment center.
WHY?
Because we are supported by yours and my property taxes. Our property taxes
pay for:
Arts and Culture Solid Waste Clean Up Duval County Health
Dept
Libraries Human Services Fire & Rescue
Parks St. Johns River Maintenance City Special Events
Public Works Neighborhood improvements Better Jacksonville Plan
Without property taxes, these services will step back to where they were
15-20 years ago.
JACKSONVILLE'S entire QUALITY OF LIFE will be set back years.
WE, the public, have only two weeks to make our plight understood.
In two weeks, the big dogs in Tallahassee will decide our fate. WE must
make our voice heard NOW.
HOW?
Call or write to Governor Charlie Crist, Speaker of the House Mark Rubio,
AND members of our DUVAL DELEGATION.
Express concern about property tax reform and the effects it will have on
OUR quality of life.
They will be our voice on fate day.
Save the Florida Theatre, Save Jacksonville. Please act.
