Agree with JoMar.
Here are the sponsors of the Bill.....as a Sumter County residents I don't believe we can vote for them.
Rep. Nick DiCeglie of Pinellas County, the House bill sponsor, said “a relief valve” would exist for local governments that can convince voters of a need to go higher.
A companion bill is expected to sail through the Senate under the sponsorship of
Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, who is chairman of the Florida Republican Party.
