Message to our members
Since 2004, Florida taxpayers have come together to work to drive down taxes and control government spending. Efforts started in small numbers in city council, school board and county commission meetings around the state. Those efforts led to a state-wide petition to amend the constitution that has now reached enough signatures for Supreme Court review. The grassroots movement then continued with passage of a bill in the Florida House to cap property taxes at 1.35%. The politicians have heard our voice and are starting to listen. Our continuing challenge is to make our voices louder and stronger than the special interests and insiders that have been in charge of government spending for decades. The Florida Taxpayers Union is here to represent your voice. We will inform Floridians of government spending policies to allow you to be better informed as we continue our fight for lower taxes and smaller government. We urge you to join us today and give hard working Floridians a voice in public policy to make sure your interests are heard in Tallahassee, and to drown out the voice of the dollar-guzzling vested special interests!
Florida Taxpayers Union is fighting for:
Lower property taxes
No new taxes without prior voter approval
No rail boondoggles
Taxpayers bill of rights to restrain the growth of government
Accountability and responsibility in government spending
Exposing government waste
Creative solutions to solving the problems that face us as a State
