What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFlorida votes November third on Amendment Three, which would raise the homestead exemption on non-school property taxes from fifty thousand dollars to one hundred fifty thousand in twenty twenty-seven.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen it goes to two hundred fifty thousand in twenty twenty-eight.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Washington Examiner says Oklahoma, North Carolina and Wyoming have similar measures on their ballots.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTwo hundred fifty thousand dollars off the taxable value of your house! That's the sunniest forecast I've heard all week.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThere is a front moving in. The bigger exemption would not apply to school district property taxes.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the school part of your bill just sits there?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorExactly where it was. It's a tax cut with a footnote, and I have seen treaties with shorter footnotes.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLocal governments and firefighters worried about lost revenue, so lawmakers amended it before the final votes.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd a Leon County Circuit Court ruling found parts of the first ballot wording misleading, so the attorney general rewrote it. Even the ballot needed a second draft.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt passes only with sixty percent of voters, which in Florida is its own weather system.
Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFine, I'll name a cloud Gloria for that one. It's the gray one over your tax bill.
