Video: “Who Decides?”
Local elected officials can be held accountable at the ballot box. Amendment 3 would force rural and suburban towns to rely on Tallahassee instead, leaving politicians far away to decide whether roads get paved, traffic lights get built or law enforcement gets funded in your community.

Avoiding cuts to essential local services under Amendment 3 would take doubling the Florida sales tax. That's not a tax cut. It's a tax shift that would leave every Floridian with a bill.

Amendment 3 would remove $11.86 billion from local government budgets. When more than half of every city budget goes to public safety, there's no way to absorb that without cuts to police, fire and EMS.

Video: “56 Percent”
The average Florida city spends 56% of its budget on police, fire and EMS. Amendment 3 would significantly cut that funding, meaning fewer officers, longer response times and more dangerous communities.

Video: "Fire"
Florida firefighters have warned Amendment 3 could mean a 25 percent cut to fire departments across the state. Amendment 3 doesn't protect you or our first responders.
