Great idea!  And, love these quotes:

QuoteIf Amendment 3 is approved, the administration would be forced to bring proposals to the Board of County Commissioners that could include paid beach parking, park user fees, red-light camera ticketing enforcement at many intersections, an increase in taxes that would primarily impact businesses and renters, and other revenue-generating measures.

Amendment 3 is not an overall tax reduction; it is simply a potential shift in how taxes are collected. We have a responsibility to ensure our local government is properly funded and able to operate effectively. I encourage any resident to meet with us, review our budget, and see firsthand how their tax dollars are being used to serve Palm Beach County.
