You can also look at Kansas after the Gov Brownback tax cuts.
Devastating service cuts. Political upheaval. Then reversal (and a Dem governor).
But those were statutory tax changes; this ballot question is changing the constitution— in a way that is near impossible to reverse

Buying a car without knowing the price is reckless.
Voting on a constitutional amendment without knowing the cost is worse.
Florida is being asked to fundamentally redesign local government finance before anyone can tell us the full fiscal impact.
That’s not reform.
That’s a leap of faith.

.@FloridaTaxWatch releases a statement on @GovRonDeSantis property tax proposal saying that "rather than force this issue to be decided in a hastily called Special Session it would be far better to have this issue taken up" by the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission, a sentiment expressed earlier in the day by @FLCities

NEW: The Florida Senate Appropriations committee is now tweaking the property tax cut proposal by Gov Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis).
Senator Avila (R) “adds a provision to authorize (property taxes) for operations of county constitutional officers & (county commissions).”

Two years from now, the most repeated sentence in the Florida Capitol will be:
“That’s not what we intended.”
Public policy isn’t judged by what supporters hope will happen. It’s judged by what actually happens after everyone starts reacting to it.
