Please to those who disagree. Where is all the lottery money going?
All homeowners should pay school taxes. When your kids were in school everyone paid property taxes to the school whether they had children attending or not. The schools do NOt get enough funding in FL. The students in Fruitland Park are in trailers! If anything is to be increased in the budget it should be money for schools.
