Florida tax cut plan raises stakes for smaller cities

A Palm Beach County official warns the measure could put smaller cities and counties in a difficult position, according to the Palm Beach Post. WFLX reports the measure cleared the legislature and will go before voters this fall. For Boynton Beach and similar mid-size cities that depend on property tax revenue to fund services and infrastructure, the outcome could reshape local budgets. The proposal still requires voter approval in November to take effect.
