The state of Florida received the Triple A Bond rating in July 2018. Florida is ranked the lowest tax state among the top 5 in population, and 4th nationally. Florida has decreased its debt by $10 billion since 2008. By comparison, twenty -two states have not replenished their rainy day funds since 2008.
Our best defense against an unknown future is to increase government transparency and fiscal accountability. Lower taxes spur our economy and state revenues increase, allowing us to appropriate more tax dollars for local and state- wide projects to protect our natural resources, improve our infrastructure and improve education.
