Florida business establishment remains quiet on property tax amendment

Florida business groups and political leaders remain inactive in supporting a property tax phase-out amendment (Amendment 3) ahead of the November vote. Gov. Ron DeSantis declined to lead a campaign for the measure, which he did not propose, while opposition groups argue it would harm local budgets. The Florida Chamber of Commerce and Florida TaxWatch suggest the issue should be addressed by the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission instead of direct voter approval.
