Snowbirds on Florida TV
Anyone else watching the Florida TV ads on ad nauseam every 20 minutes bashing the Snowbirds? :R I.E. amendment 4.

County has a fixed budget they have to meet. Without cutting back on services and staff, the county can always adjust their mill rate to cover the deficit regardless how property is assessed.
Bottom line is the budget has to be met, someone will have to pay for it and no-one wants it to be them. As far as affluent snowbirds are concern, if you can even find a native Floridian now-a-days ask them the difference between a "Yankee" and a "Damn Yankee". That is the precursor to the TV ad that you're now seeing and in many ways more politically correct then before.
Now if I was Florida, I would be going after the affluent non-USA citizens that own property in the US but outside of their native homestead land.
