The News is presently running stories about a Man named Ron who is proposing tax cuts for groups of citizens in Florida…I hope he doesn’t forget us in the Three county Villages.

What tax cut do you think should be remembered for you - residents already benefit from several property tax discounts and FL doesn't have a personal income tax - what are you looking for now?

Sounds more like a campaign advertisement nothing I have seen in Florida News.

Pay my fair share and not pay for Overinflated Administrative Salaries in the Marion School district…The Police and Fire department should not have to beg for dollars while a School Administrator who takes the whole summer off , gets paid to soak in the pool …

And there are individuals that believe you were way overpaid in your former occupation, human nature. I wouldn’t want to be a school administrator for all the nickels out there. Remember, if you want nice, you have to pay the piper. Florida has a lot to offer and many excellent services. That has a cost and if you have lived in any of the other high priced tax states and cities, you can see the value here.

I would've liked to know that my entire lifetime I was contributing taxes that didn't leave my state, to be sent to states that didn't pay enough and therefore got more to pay for social services. Like Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama - all those states with high poverty rates. My federal income taxes paid for their welfare, and I didn't get to benefit from even living in those states.

And yet - I also know that as a result of my money going to benefit those states, we have fewer people on welfare, fewer stupid uneducated people, fewer people spreading disease. It's still a problem, but a lot less than if they hadn't gotten that money at all.

So I'm at peace with it. I'm at peace with it because I'm not isolated, I don't consider myself to be someone who lives in a bubble. I consider myself a citizen of the United States, not just the Villages State or the Republican State or the Liberal State. The UNITED States. So if someone needs something, and it won't kill me to dish out another dime every year along with all my other fellow citizens, to help that person get food, clothing, shelter, education so that they can get a job and become self-supporting, then I'm happy to toss the dime in the pot.

That's what civilized people do, according to my grandmother, who helped my grandfather earn a small fortune, but expected her kids and grandkids to work, and to give back to our community to help the less fortunate.

So you know for a fact that the School Administrator takes the Summer off while getting paid to soak in the pool - a neighbor, friend or relative? The SA in my town has spent his Summer coordinating administrative, bus and course scheduling with school Principals and Vice Principals. And he was interviewing/hiring staff as well as inventorying and ordering books and school supplies for the coming year. Much of his time was also spent coordinating school building upgrades with the remodeling program taking place! Bet he'd like to apply for your SA's position!

To keep more of our own money? Everyone should strive to pay the lowest amount of taxes, legally of course..

Of course and everyone should be prepared to get exactly what they payed for with their low, low taxes.

I thought that starting in October we were all going to benefit from a cut in the gas tax. I already thought he signed that.

FYI…school administrators, from the building level up, do NOT get summers off.

I guess you don’t know that they get an annual salary spread over 12 months so they already earned that money.
