Florida's property tax elimination plan for 2026 could make Florida the first state with no income tax AND no property tax on homes. HJR 203 passed the House 80-30 but died in the Senate when the regular session ended March 13. A special session is set for the week of April 20.

I'm all for lower taxes, but someone please explain to me how a state can eliminate property tax, maintain no income tax, and provide the services people want.
Please don't say cut waste or spending significantly as, lets be honest, there is no stomach for it. DOGE and the Trump administration swept in (Trump for the second time) and guess what? The deficit continues to go up and all the hype about waste and inefficiencies did not pan out.
Are we ever going to get serious or are we going to continue to blame "the other", advocate for our needs while calling the needs of others waste and continue down the unsustainable path we are on? Sadly, I don't see meaningful conversations let along change anywhere on the horizon.
