Our Curmudgeon Coalition will be interviewing both candidates between now and the August primary. It’s a coveted endorsement in TV.

There are no huge sacrifices by our developer for impact fees, in fact he cleans up. He recently collected 50 million in payment from our county commissioners for Southern Oaks. Keep in mind, a bond was also charged by the developer for every new home they sold. There is a reason they are rolling in cash. Orange County to home builders: No more discounts on road impacts fees – Orlando Sentinel Affordable housing developers in Osceola can pay impact fees later, commission says – Orlando Sentinel

In addition here is the link for the County plans to reimburse the developer for the Southern Oaks portion of the Villages for roads.

On the other hand, the 33% increase has been used for more than the purchase of roads. The first year of the increase brought in an additional $25M. By 2020, the second year, the increase had brought in over $50M. If the increase was only used for the road purchase then it could have been rolled back at that time. It wasn't rolled back, it was simply used for something else. This is why my expectation is we won't see the millage decrease by 1.3mills in October - once a tax is in place it is hard to remove. it will be decreased some, perhaps by as much as 0.6mills so the incumbents can take credit for a 12% reduction, but not by the full 1.3mills. But we'll see in June/July when the preliminary budget comes out.

DeSantis did not reverse himself. He was forced to do it by the Florida Constitution and he held off as long as he could.

Any new impact fee schedule would have impacted them "ten years" down the road if they purchased more land. That's one of many reasons I laughed at the promise to reverse the 25% increase.

Regardless of the charges, Miller is a LIAR. He was a lifelong member of one party who switched in order to get elected. To me, this means he wanted to force his policies and philosophies down the throats of a community that would never have elected him to do so. And even then he only got elected on the basis of a campaign to "roll back the 25% tax increase and screw 'the developer'", neither of which would ever happen. Just proves how ignorant the electorate can be as soon as a politician dangles $$$$ in front of them. |

Trust issue
Sorry, but as his record shows, he and his 2 cronies were Democrats who couldn't elected with their left-wing politics, so switched to Republican since they knew most people wouldn't know their history. I don't trust this guy for a minute.
