Someone please educate me.  I thought that real estate taxes were levied by each county and all have different tax rates.  How can Rick Scott and the state government  lower our real estate taxes if the state does not set the tax rates or collect the money?

Very easy, here is what I sent.

 

First, thank you for your service and sacrifice.  As a fellow Floridian, I am deeply concerned that Governor Scott's budget recommendations may not be included in current legislation, which is ironically sad as this is the reason he was elected.  I urge you and your fellow representatives and senators to pass the budget with Governor Scott's recommendations.  Every state is experiencing budget shortfalls, but if Florida creates a business friendly environment, we will become both competitive and attractive for business expansion.  I have been unemployed now for 4 years and would love to be working; Governor Scott's vision will foster business growth and offer employment opportunities to thousands of Floridians like myself.

The Florida electorate is closely watching the records of our elected officials and will not pay attention to mainstream media sound bites.  That being said, we will elect officials that actually represent our voice.

Thank you for including the "votervoice.net" link. It was very easy to use and get emails out to my representatives. 

If you want to take a bus group to Tallahassee  -count me in.

I am a Conservative, Republican and an Education Union Rep who helped sway votes toward Rick Scott.  I also write a Conservative slanted Blog that is heavy on reality not fantasy.
I was also p/o'ed that the money I and my fellow educators spend in dues went, mostly unnoticed, to Alex Sink.  Seems to me Walking Lawton didn't do much for Education.  Do I like everything Gov. Scott is doing, no, but I support him just the same.  Oh and why are FIrefighters and Police exempt from the upcoming House and Senate Bills that are going to screw with me? Didn't their unions also push Sink down our throats? Yes, Education has some bad Teachers and Aids, but when was the last time you sat with your kid and 26 others in a room for one day let alone 9 months? Try being a Sub or ask one of the Teacher's Aids how much they make...the lowest police and fire employee makes more and yet WE SUPPORT GOV. SCOTT and like me, many are TEA PARTY MEMEBERS but unlike me afraid to openly say so.  I'm a TEA PARTY MEMBER AND MY UNION KNOWS IT!!!

Looks like smart Floridians agree that Rick Scott is doing a good job, 55% to 45%, polls speak for themselves............

Hi all:  Go to the link and vote that Rick Scott is doing a good job.  The press is trying their best to make him look bad!

Thank you for the link to contact our legislators.  It took but a few minutes to log on and send them an email.  Thank you also for the hard work you do.
