DeSantis Property Tax and Schools

Published in TC Palm, 5/21/25 - Letters to the Edidtor

Regarding the article “DeSantis Fires  at GOP Leaders Over Tax Plan”:

Given:

Donald Trump is opposed to educations, as shown by his cuts and reorfanization of the Department of Education.

DeSantis is a Trump worshipper, as shown by his priorities.

Therefore, we should expect DeSantis to be against improvement in the education system in Florida.

The way DeSantis plans to carry out his mission to de3stroy the public school system in Florida is by lowering the property tax.  Most school systems in Florida rely on their local property taxes to fund the public schools.

If property taxes are cut enough by Tallahassee, local public schools, already bereft of adequate funds, will be in even worse shape than ever before.  This will increase the gap between the elites in our society and the underserved in our society.

Has anyone else noticed DeSantis has never mentioned the effect of his propty tax cuts to local schools?
