• Wounded Warriors 5k: They are hosting a 5k near their Jacksonville headquarters in November. It's only $35 to register and every community can have their own "squad", as they call it. We can compete for fundraising as a fun incentive to support our troops. I think it's a great way to give a little for those who give so much. I've attached the flyer with registration information.
• Amendment 2 (November 2018 ballot) - Florida Realtors trade group is pushing to pass Amendment 2, which gives voters the choice to make permanent a 10% cap on annual valuation increases for non-homestead properties. The 10% cap has been in place for a decade, but expires in 2019. Without an extension, property owners could see their property tax bill skyrocket. These potential tax increases would be passed along to renters and business customers, making the issue important whether someone owns property or not. I would like to discuss the topic briefly and offer literature for attendees to explore more information and make an educated vote on the subject.
