Property tax reform

Urged the council to identify painful budget cuts now in case November's property tax reform passes, noting taxable value doubled in a decade.

Warned the proposed property tax cut shifts power to Tallahassee, could mean defunding police/fire, would hit businesses and renters, and urged residents to educate themselves before the vote.

Echoed Latham's opposition to the state's 'power grab' from elected county officials and pledged to fight and vote against it.
