What do property taxes in Florida support? Here in CA, they support schools, sewers and other city services. And while I'd love to see my property taxes reduced, that would necessarily remove monies from these much-needed services.
So if FL's property tax system is anything like CA's, it's not just the programs he admits to cutting that will lose funding, but many others, as well.
At a time when no state can afford to reduce revenues, this seems extremely short-sighted and foolish to me.
It's not the lack of money that is the issue, it is the lack of the ability to spend it properly. CA would be fine of they had responsible people running the state. They choose to cut the most needed areas, so they can say "see, this is why we need to raise your taxes again" and then bleeding hearts say "oh, ok, raise it then" and so they do and then the money doesn't really end up going where they say it will go and then they come back and say "we need more of your money" See, it's a cycle of BS that the left feeds you and you listen to it. You fall for it every time. Wait and see how it plays out in FL. If it fails miserably, then you can say" see, I told ya so". But until then, let Scott do his job.

And when it does fail, what then?
Florida will be in dire straits, not like we arent close to it now.

There are many problems not with just FL but the whole country. FL is doing bad, but the Gov is trying to make it right. So give him a chance. FL has a big burden called illegal immigration. They come over, pay nothing and mooch off of the system. Our federal government sits back and does nothing. The whole country is feeling the ill effects on what Bush started and Obama made much, much worse. But give those who are trying to make things right, a chance.
At the sacrifice of gutting the state and public programs.
I'm sorry, but if I had the choice of "higher taxes, but good public programs" and "more money in my pocket, but crap public programs", I'd choose higher taxes every time.

Illegal immigration is just the tip of the iceberg for the problems in Florida.
Scott is not going in the right direction, the school budget should have been a last resort, not a first choice.
