Today, Florida’s minimum wage is increasing to $15 for non-tipped employees.
Although about 1.2 million Floridians are expected to benefit from the new $15 min. wage, $15 is not enough for a full-time worker to afford basic expenses.

Amendment 3: New ballot language, same scam.
“Jackson Peel of Save Our Services, said that the amendment altogether is still a ‘scam and tax shift’ away from essential services.”

Amendment 3 does NOT eliminate property taxes for rental properties. If you are one of the nearly 3 million Florida families who rent their home, you will end up paying more as a result when landlords pass along higher property tax costs by jacking up rents. #NoOn3 #SaveOurServices #Amendment3WillRaiseYourRent

Save Our Services - No on 3 press conference in the news: 27 coalition members and growing are raising the alarm about Amendment 3.
Hardworking families and seniors need real affordability relief, not a scam that cuts essential local services. #NoOn3 #Amendment3 #SaveOurServices
Florida Policy Institute retweeted
Florida's Amendment 3 is a scam: it gives huge tax cuts to billionaires, while cutting services Floridians rely on, like local disaster relief and preparedness
