What happened
The Florida Senate President stated he would vote against Amendment 3, a major property tax cut proposal, arguing it would impair the ability of small towns and counties to provide essential services. This opposition was echoed by Senator Kathleen Passidomo. The Florida Sheriff’s Association also opposes the measure, fearing it would slash resources available for law enforcement budgets. The proposal was championed by Ron DeSantis.

Why it matters
The opposition centers on the potential for Amendment 3 to eliminate up to 30 percent of resources for Florida’s rural counties. This loss of revenue could gut essential support for critical infrastructure, emergency response services, and law enforcement.
