Florida Property Tax

Unless the computers of the state of Florida are ancient,it could quickly be known how my idea would affect the amount of taxes collected.I believe it would far more fair to have a minimum tax of a hundred dollars,or so,and to put the homestead exemption at fifty to seventy thousand dollars.I have known people who let the outward appearance of their property go and spent fortunes inside,so as to fool the assessors.I have known many people who lived in far cheaper houses than they could afford,simply because of their hatred of paying taxes.I have heard: So,I don't pay taxes;it's the way the laws are written;why shouldn't I take advantage of it?The original reason mobile/ modular homes were considered less worthy of full taxes is that they were built cheaply,sold cheaply and were considered as temporary housing.The low taxes some wealthy people pay for the now long lasting mansions on wheels is ridiculous.While they are still worthless to me,they still shouldn't be something the well to do can use as a tax advantage.I realize that asking fairness from people who think dry cleaning ought not to be taxed could be futile.NPUBLICI

Danny Burgess

Once again,Danny Burgess has ruffled the feathers of those who liked the elderly in charge of the elderly status quo.He got elected to the Zephyrhills city council,at eighteen with a high school diploma with wet ink,using the unusual promise of representative democracy and following the rule of law.Now, he has had the audacity to take an apartment in Tampa,thirty miles away,while he attends USF, as many people do his age,without giving up their residency in their parents home.Perhaps there might be those who would rather he would fall asleep at the wheel,coming to Zephyrhills,after working and going to college.I remember people who didn't think I ought to have anything to say about my hometown during my six years in the army,also.Mr Burgess will be going into the military.Perhaps if you feel he does a good job and he runs for office and wins;you would not be aggravated when the military forces him to live in the on post housing at MacDill.If you don't like his ideas or ideals,his stance,then don't vote for him again.Perhaps if you have different opinions,you could run for the office.If you're already elected,take a look at yourself and ask:do I really represent ALL of the people?NPUBLICI
