Ron On The Comeback Trail?

If tweet fails to load, click here. But, this is a major shift from local to state funding responsibility for a big chunk of services. The money has to come from somewhere.
Property taxes bring in about $60B a year, and even the first step of his plan would remove $8–12B from county, city, and special-district budgets. Full elimination would take out $25–30B annually. Without a replacement source, that means higher sales/consumption taxes or major cuts to local services.
No matter! Ronbots must be salivating right now. I mean who wants to pay taxes. In a State like Florida, heavily Republican, what better way to start the PR, "rebuild the brand" for a 2028 Presidential Bid! They're dancin' in the Village Tonight!
Good Article

I doubt he makes that mistake again. Chief justice Desantis has a nice ring, if we could get rid of the traitor somehow.

the bottom line is in states that have no income typically have high property taxes. every home we looked at in DFW came with between 16k to 24k property taxes annually the money has two come from somewhere.

Strange to attempt to dunk on a guy trying to solidify himself as the greatest governor in US history.

Exactly.
States without income tax rely heavily on property taxes, and when real estate values fall, crashing even in parts of Florida right now, the math gets even tougher. Florida’s cooling market means lower future property-tax collections at the same time the state has a growing retiree population that doesn’t generate wage-tax revenue.
The money has to come from somewhere. Growth can hide the problem for a while, but the underlying revenue model doesn’t change.

Not dunking. Raising the obvious question of "why now" and "where will the money come to replace this".
As noted, a growing retiree population that doesn’t generate wage-tax revenue and rapidly declining property values will have an impact. Where does the replacement money come from?

Say what you want about his ridiculous run in 2024 but he’s vocal and spot on about many top priorities. Deportations, bigly against H1B, property taxes, and a whole host of others issues MAGA cares about that others aren’t saying anything about. He also has a great track record minus the “not Trump candidacy” in ‘24

I’d vote for him

Yeah. Maybe if he lowered the property taxes a lot.
Most states have refund apps for 65 over to not pay these taxes and or reduce...
If DeSantis even did this iin a retirement State it wouldn't work.
That seems like a lot in property taxes for DFW but mini mansions and a high COLA does this. I suppose. Not a good retirement area...

I already agree with it. You don't have to sell me on it.

Punt on the first. Sales tax on the second coupled with less State govt. Which is how it should be.

why do you keep saying it must come from somewhere? why not cut the spending to offset? why do we need so many government services?
if you want public school fine, keep that. but trash, natural gas, water, electricity you all pay for. that leaves infrastructure that must be paid....other then that wtf do we "need"
sorry but rec departments, old people services and all the other BS needs to go if they dont want to pay a local sales tax
let the locals pass a sales tax if they want any non essential services
but property tax is immoral

Aren't the schools, hospitals, police departments, fire stations and government buildings so nice?
It's robbery plain and simple just like insurance.
And it's all legal.

He's still the best option in terms of administration, effective policymaking, and policy implementation of any of the GOP field.
I don't know why it would be a mistake
*ETA: he's also been shown to be the best at owning the press organically and in real time

94.72% of those on the conservative/right side of the spectrum who despise Gov DeSantis come from the “How dare he” portion of the Trump base. They’re just too offended by the absolute gall the man had to run in a GOP Presidential Primary where they was no incumbent for Republicans.
