Florida is one of the fastest-growing states in the country. Smart planning helps communities keep up with that growth before it overwhelms roads, schools, hospitals and the places people call home. Vote No on Amendment 3: whatsatstakefl.org/
Parks and green spaces don’t stay great on their own; they take planning and funding. Amendment 3 puts that funding at risk, leaving parks, sports fields and community spaces overcrowded, outdated or under-maintained.

Florida’s quality of life depends on smart planning, local funding and development standards that help our communities manage growth, protect public spaces, maintain infrastructure and preserve the natural resources. That’s why we oppose Amendment 3. whatsatstakefl.org/
Backed-up roads. Longer commutes. Delayed projects. Without reliable local funding for planning, the systems that keep Florida moving fall further behind and so do the first responders who rely on clear roads to reach us. Vote No on Amendment 3. whatsatstakefl.org/
Your neighborhood is on the line. Every day, more than 750 new residents move to Florida. Without reliable local funding, the planning that keeps neighborhoods livable (safe roads, cared-for parks, funded services) is at risk.

Our hearts and prayers are with the residents of Los Angeles and our colleagues with @APACalifornia who have a long road ahead to bring the City of Angeles back stronger than ever. We are with you all the way.
