Florida local governments are preparing for major revenue losses after voters passed Amendment 3. Joseph Morgan, Mayor of Valparaiso, stated that his city is projected to lose nearly $500,000 next year. By 2029, Valparaiso's expected loss is projected to exceed $1 million, which is nearly 20 percent of its annual budget of $5.4 million.
