The Potential Impact of Amendment 1

[RiversideGator]

For all of you who are depressed that us tax hating troglodytes voted to cut our property taxes, I have one suggestion:  Simply mail a check for $240 made payable to the City of Jacksonville for your share of the tax cuts you voted against.  Since I am sure very few checks will be received by the City, this is all nothing but talk and hollow gestures.   

Okay RG - the issue is not my individual $240, or your individual $240, all of the people on this forum's $240.   It is the $240 for all of the homeowners in Jacksonville.  This is kind of my point behind all of this.  $20 a month for the average homeowner is not a whole lot, but if you pool all of the money together it is substantial.

So, I guess it is fair to say that the check from you, Steve, is not in the mail?   
If it helps anything, I would say that it will help the elected officials in the short term think about the expensive decisions more.  However, I believe this will be short term, a couple of years at the most.
