Askew School of Public Administration and Policy

That's the constitutional proposal to cut the state's home property taxes by ramping up the homestead exemption over a number of years.

The evening of October 14th, Florida State University's Askew School of Public Administration hosted a panel discussion on the amendment in Tallahassee.

Spoiler alert, from the get-go, all the panelists said two things they all agreed on.

Number one, Florida's property tax setup is really messed up and needs reform, and number two, the proposed Amendment 3 is an absolutely horrible way to do that.

Then on Wednesday, I will be in Tallahassee for another pair of events.

First, I'll be speaking to students at the Ruben Askew School of Public Policy at Florida State University.

This is part of the school's Crest Lecture Series, and my talk is titled How the Sausage is Made, Policymaking in Florida Governments.

So we'll be talking an awful lot about rent-seeking and campaign contributions, I'm sure.
