Tell them...(here are some catch phrases you can use when calling or emailing) 

  • RETURN our TAXES
  • GIVE BACK our MONEY
  • ILLEGAL SALES TAXES NEED TO BE RETURNED 
  • WE WANT OUR $$ BACK 
  • TAX HOLIDAY no more THEFT 
  • AFT LIED
  • REFUND or TAX HOLIDAY 
  • Tax Holiday Stimulus Now
  • RETURN WHAT IS OURS! 
  • Tax Holiday not Tax Hike

Tell your County Commissioners that you want your Money Back...you agree with FIX OUR ROADS FIRST, that the MONEY was ILLEGALLY taken, that the BOCC and their Attorneys failed to protect County Residents against the lies of AFT!

2018 Hillsborough Sales Tax Referendum Background

2018  Hillsborough Referendums - If these referendums pass Hillsborough will have the highest sales tax in the state which means local businesses will suffer as people choose to go to other counties to make purchases.

#2 Referendum  VOTE NO -  - Funding for Countywide Transportation...ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ARE NOT NECESSARILY REPAIRS  for more information Fix Our Roads First

  • 1% surtax equates to $16B over 30 years (A 30 year payment plan for a 20 year project... bad investment.)
  • The road improvements are actually converting roads to "Complete Streets" which usually entails narrowing the auto lanes, lowering the speed limit, and adding a bike lane. It also includes diesel rail from downtown to USF (very similar to Orlando's Sunrail where local/state tax subsidies are $64 per daily commuter), extending the streetcar, and rail to the airport.
  •  The tax plan calls for 450 miles of taking one or two lanes of traffic to build a pedestrian sanctuary at the crosswalk and bus  and/or bike lane use only. NO EXPANSION OF ROADWAYS are included where this reduction takes place.  (Fixed Guide Ways)
  • 45% shall be distributed to HART
  • Independent Oversight Committee members shall serve terms of three (3) years, without compensation, and each shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing body- what does this mean?
  • Full Text Referendum 

Contributors to get this referendum and tax increase were Vinik, Morsani, Skyes, Tampa Bay Partners (again Chuck Sykes & Vinik), Coastal Constructions Services (Vinik)... sounds like Vinik wants taxpayers to fund his planned road system for Channelside for the next 30 years.
