comprehensive property tax relief

Keep up the good work, team.

We are really beginning to make progress. We received a strong outpouring of support everywhere I traveled today. We spent most of the day raising money although I did have the opportunity to meet with Associated Industries of Florida in their candidate interviews as well as meet with the Marion County Realtors. Of primary concern to both groups was the stability of our economy and job growth. I believe that the number one thing that we can do right now to keep our economy on track and our state on firm financial footing is to provide comprehensive property tax relief. Our homeowners need it. Our renters need it. Our growers and agricultural community need it. Our small businesses need it. We cannot allow this issue to get caught up in Tallahassee’s politics as usual. We have to be thoughtful about the issue, but I know that people are hurting, and we need to give them the relief from the property tax burden that they need.

On another note, I had the occasion to speak with a number of supporters today who are concerned that we protect the quality of our springs and water supplies in the central part of the state. I have made this one of my key priorities for this campaign, and I have worked hard in the past to do the same. I strongly believe that our rivers and springs and the Everglades are natural treasures that must be protected. It is a quality of life issue, and it is an economic issue. We live in the most wonderful place on the planet. Our responsibility is to be stewards of this state so that people will continue to want to visit us and so that our children and grandchildren can continue the same quality of life that we have enjoyed for generations to come.

If you haven't been able to volunteer yet, I could use your help on the team. Please call 352-620-9293 if you need information on how to participate on the campaign. If you are interested in checking out where I stand on the issues or would like to make a donation, please go to www.dennisbaxley.org.

Thank you for all of your support.
