What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Charlie Crist pledged to reduce property taxes by $15 million per year in Florida. This pledge comes after Florida voters approved Amendment 3, which grants a major property tax cut to homestead property owners starting next year. Crist also defeated incumbent Mayor Ken Welch in the mayoral election.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The approval of Amendment 3 means homestead property owners will receive a significant tax cut, but local governments will consequently have less funding available for services. Crist's pledge addresses high water bills and contributes to the ongoing discussion regarding state tax policy in Florida.
