Very Important!
On Tuesday, on the ballot there will be an amendment, Amendment 1. This amendment promises to lower property tax but will only save the average home owner around $70. This amendment on the other hand will cost local government millions. Fire Departments and Police Stations will be hit hard, as will schools. Local government will be hit hardest. My father's department, Urban Redevelopment will be dissolved and he will be without a job. I will also lose my job at the UCF library due to the budget there already being stretched thin. There is some optimism that I will be able to keep my job till the summer but I doubt this. My dad will also be getting about a year and half paid vacation from this but if I can't finish my degree in that time, I will lose my FAFSA if he has to find work out of state.
This amendment was designed to save the incredibly rich and to bail out the building industry that over speculated and is now suffering for their greed. People say this will save our economy but in reality all it will do is lower our standard of living tremendously for under $100 to you, the taxpayer.
So please, vote no in the upcoming ballot.
