Ron DeSantis\u2019 property tax overhaul.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=1455\">How DeSantis signed away $1 billion for state-run immigrant detention centers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also facing hits from Republican lawmakers who represent her own backyard \u2014 and who say the county\u2019s spending habits help make the case for the governor\u2019s proposal to reduce the amount of money homeowners pay to their local government.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>As senators on Monday debated a constitutional amendment that would ask voters to approve sweeping property tax cuts, two Miami-Dade Republicans pointed to county commissioners\u2019 taxpayer-funded security details as Exhibit A for why local governments need less money from taxpayers and more restrictions on how they spend it.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of them have, essentially, a full-time sergeant-at-arms in a Grand Wagoneer,\u201d said Sen. Bryan Avila, the Miami Springs Republican sponsoring the Senate proposal. Sen. Ileana Garcia was even more blunt, saying the sergeants-at-arms assigned to commissioners act as \u201cbodyguards\u201d and \u201cUberEats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Their comments came as lawmakers considered a proposal that could significantly limit local governments\u2019 ability to raise property tax revenue. They underscored a divide between Miami-Dade\u2019s elected leaders and some members of its legislative delegation as county officials warn the proposal could slash local revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Levine Cava, a Democrat, has warned the DeSantis plan would mean significant cuts to services in Miami-Dade if passed by voters. Her administration said the proposal would cost the county about 20 cents of every dollar of property taxes collected by Miami-Dade, an historic reduction to the top revenue source for police, jails, ambulances, parks and other core services.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a profound difference between thoughtful, sustained tax relief and what the state is now proposing: the wholesale dismantling of the property tax system that funds the essential services that make our community run,\u201d Levine Cava wrote in a recent Miami Herald opinion essay.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The administration estimates a $697 million loss in property-tax revenues \u2013 mirrored by $697 million in tax reductions for property owners.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Levine Cava is managing the fallout of the run-up in county spending since her election in 2020, when a surging real estate market and federal COVID aid let her and county commissioners fund rental assistance, tax breaks for low-income seniors, and a surge in charity grants. Tax cuts came too, with the commission approving back-to-back 1% reductions in the countywide property tax rate.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Now expenses are exceeding revenues, forcing Levine Cava last year to warn of a $400 million budget gap that forced austerity measures to keep spending balanced with income. But with most tough choices avoided \u2013 Levine Cava dropped plans for a cut in charity aid and commissioners rejected her plan to raise transit fares \u2013 the 2027 budget process is looking to be painful, too.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In their comments, Republican lawmakers did not offer suggestions for major spending cuts that would be needed to absorb the kind of revenue loss the administration predicts. A Herald analysis of budget data earlier this year found that of the $3.2 billion in property taxes the county collects, about 68% goes to five spending categories: Fire Rescue, the Sheriff\u2019s Office, jails, the Jackson Health hospital system and transportation. That includes the county\u2019s transit system, where a half-percent sales tax and fares aren\u2019t enough to cover operations.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just Republican lawmakers that support the plan Levine Cava warns will be catastrophic. Last year, a majority of county commissioners passed a symbolic resolution endorsing a state elimination of property taxes on primary residences. That would have gone further than what DeSantis proposed, but reflects the political popularity of a tax cut.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The proposal lawmakers ultimately approved was narrower than DeSantis\u2019 original call to eliminate property taxes altogether for Floridians who own the homes where they live. Senators amended the measure to preserve funding for public schools and maintain local governments\u2019 ability to levy property taxes for core services, changes supporters said would protect essential government functions while still giving voters a chance to weigh in on tax relief.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Still, debate in the Senate repeatedly returned to Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Avila argued the county\u2019s spending decisions illustrate why taxpayers want stronger limits on property taxes, citing both commissioner security details and Miami-Dade\u2019s decision to delay addressing a projected $400 million budget deficit.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see a lot in Miami-Dade County, and I do recognize \u2014 Miami-Dade is its own thing. Only in Dade,\u201d Avila said. \u201cThis amendment was really meant to rein down on some of that wasteful spending while at the same time providing the flexibility for those core functions of government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Garcia said county leaders had failed to make meaningful spending cuts despite months of warnings that Tallahassee was considering property tax changes.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=1454\">Florida lawmakers describe Miami-Dade as the poster child for wasted tax dollars<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do have a problem with some of the misuse down in Miami-Dade County,\u201d Garcia said. \u201cI never saw any of them in Miami-Dade County go in and try to cut out some of the fat that they had in their budgets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>And the criticisms weren\u2019t just coming from Republicans. Sen. Jason Pizzo, a former Miami-area Democrat who recently left the party and now serves as an independent, briefly joined in on the Miami-Dade dogpile.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s pathetic what Miami-Dade spends on,\u201d Pizzo said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to see trips to Qatar and parades and stages and all these events anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Levina Cava\u2019s office on Friday pushed back on lawmakers\u2019 claims of wasteful spending, saying in a statement that Cava\u2019s administration has cut the property tax rate twice to its lowest level since 1982 while balancing budgets through significant fiscal challenges.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The mayor\u2019s office said the county has reduced executive salaries, consolidated departments and eliminated positions through its WISE305 efficiency initiative while maintaining core services without raising taxes.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiami-Dade continues to operate a lean, efficient government,\u201d the mayor\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>In a text message on Friday, Avila stood by his argument.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiami-Dade County government is showing signs of a system under strain. Years of neglect, mismanagement, and shortsighted decision-making have left some of our most important public assets and services facing serious challenges,\u201d he said. \u201cWhether it\u2019s transportation, solid waste, Miami International Airport, or PortMiami, the story is the same: problems are growing while solutions remain elusive. Residents deserve competent leadership, responsible stewardship, and a government that delivers results\u2014not excuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Garcia was not immediately available for comment.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>While several Democratic and Republican lawmakers on Monday agreed with Avila\u2019s critiques of his home district, they questioned whether lawmakers were crafting a statewide policy based on frustrations with one county government. Miami-Dade emerged so often that lawmakers began asking if the county was the sole reason behind the ballot amendment.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Sen. Gayle Harrell, a Stuart Republican, bluntly asked: \u201cEverybody was telling these horrible stories about Miami-Dade. Are we writing this bill because of Miami-Dade?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Sen. Tom Wright, a Republican from Port Orange who ultimately voted for the measure, said parts of the governor\u2019s initial proposal \u201cscare the bejeebers out of me,\u201d and that he worried fiscally responsible local governments would be swept up in reforms aimed at places with spending problems.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause you\u2019re from Miami-Dade, perhaps you were the right choice to promote that we need to clean house. But not every city in the state, not every county in the state, has bad actors,\u201d Wright told Avila. \u201cIn my particular district, fortunately for me, it\u2019s not like Miami-Dade, apparently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Sen. Tina Polsky, a Democrat from Boca Raton, also challenged supporters\u2019 argument that excessive local spending justified the proposal.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou might think it\u2019s excessive, something that\u2019s going on in Miami-Dade,\u201d Polsky said. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean someone voting in another part of the state feels or even knows that they have excessive taxes being taken out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho\u2019s not going to vote against excessive taxes?\u201d she asked. \u201cBut, again, who\u2019s deciding that something is excessive or not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Avila told lawmakers that the ballot amendment in \u201cno way, shape, or form had \u201canything to do with Miami-Dade. Miami-Dade County government is an absolute disaster. \u2026and quite frankly, I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s ever going to be a fix to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=1452\">A road is renamed for Jimmy Ryce and honors legacy his grieving parents created<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--]--><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><!-- --><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican senators pointed to Miami-Dade spending, including commissioner security details, as justification for statewide limits on property tax revenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1453,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-florida-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
