A Florida state lawmaker says he has an idea to help homeowners stressed
over high property taxes; $1,000 checks for the next 5 years.

"It would start in
2026 and the goal is to have this hit the mailboxes of the
homesteaded homeowners who qualify," says State Rep. Jeff
Holcomb (R-Spring Hill).
He's filed
House Bill 71. The bill would offer the money to
homeowners with a current taxable value of at least $100,000
but no more than $450,000.
"I hear it all the time, you don't want people pushed out of
their homes for property insurance, property taxes," he
said.
The bill is just one of several expected in the next session
in January to target property taxes, a priority for the
governor and House Republicans. |

Democrats are also focused on affordability issues,
announcing several bills on homeowners insurance.
"All we've been told is things will get better, things will get better.
Well, we're here to tell you things aren't better," says Sen. Lori Berman
(D-Boynton Beach).
