Generally, I agree with Gov. Crist's leadership decisions for the State of Florida. Some of his decisions appear more Democratic than Republican in philosophy and his charisma has endeared him to a rainbow coalition of Floridians. It is that Crist charisma that may propel Florida's constitutional Amendment 1 pass the necessary 60% rate. I am praying that doesn't happen.

His charisma, killer smile and perfectly coiffed hair are not enough for me to do anything other than vote NO on Amendment 1. It is a scheme that makes our property tax system even worse. Not only will average homeowners get no real tax relief, but critical safety staff and school funds will be slashed. Don't believe the hype; Florida citizens cannot afford Amendment 1.

No, this is not a paid political advertisement; this is my opinion on my blog. If anyone wants to pay me, that's another issue. In the meantime, go to www.willmytaxesgodown.com for more information.
