This is the beast deal we have going for now. It's not the relief many here needed but it is something for now. Many many people here have been hurt by the increase in property taxes (I still say insurance is our major problem). So any relief will help some. This program will save the average homeowner about $250.00 a year. But where it helps quite a bit is being able to take a portion of your existing Homestead Exemption to a Newly purchased home. This will help you save quite a bit on taxes on a new purchase depending on what you sell and what you buy.

The 1st thing the opposition always cries during something like this is: You are going to lose you Police , Fire , and School Money!!!! OMG!!!

Well it's time to tighten all the budgets. My income is down so I cut down on what I spend. It's damn well time our state and county did the same!!

Our little bit of a economic slow down has just begun. The effect is still slowly trickling down and I believe will get worse before it gets better.
