Man imagine if Texas built HSR before California
We already have two High Speed Rail bills in pre-filing: @BucyForTexas would direct the TxDOT to enter into an agreement to build Dallas-Waco-Austin-San Antonio HSR, while @brianeharrison has filed a bill but not the bill text.

Florida has 29 poor, largely rural counties classified as "fiscally constrained."
These counties will likely need a bailout from the rest of the state as a result of Amendment 3, which will decimate their already-thin tax bases.
Amendment 3 passed in all but one of them.

Florida is trying to solve a broken property tax system by adding another exemption to a system already filled with exemptions, caps, classifications, and carveouts.
Maybe the answer is simpler.
Tax the land. Not the improvements.
Fund services through transparent non-ad valorem assessments.
Protect seniors, veterans, and the truly needy.
Everything else is just moving pieces around the board.
I’d need to see the math, but a land value tax may be fairer, more transparent, and far harder to game than what we have today.

And I’m not against reducing taxes to help people with the cost of living. However, this was a reckless way of doing it and there is currently no plan to recover lost revenue elsewhere.

I’d still prefer for Jolly to have won.
However, him losing definitely opens up opportunities for Dems in 2028 and 2030. Why? Because the FL GOP owns Amendment 3 and the backlash will be entirely on them.
