And why is this happening? Because the State legislature has put a halt to these egregious increases as of July 1st. So our new overlords want to enact their increase on June 30th. Way to go. Just ignore any research or learning and proceed to "kill" without due process.

You obviously do not know the history on this issue. The old 'Gang of Five' owned by the Developer put the screws to taxpayers a couple years ago with a 25% property tax increase while simultaneously lowering the Developer's impact fees significantly. Thus the POd people threw out the 3 of them up for reelection last November. Now the Developer wants to take local issues away from the oversight of local people and vest it in the hands of the state of FL where they have more control. If their Bill's are passed they would go into effect July 1. This is not a good thing and our Commissioners need to be proactive before then. The Republicans don't like big government interference...until they do!
