LET US TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GROWTH…

As a South Florida resident for the past nineteen years, I’ve seen the significant changes our city and state continue to go through.  The influx of so many residents may seem overwhelming to some, and to others, it’s a means for more opportunities.

With more buildings/homes being developed, properties being sold at higher values, and more tourist visiting Florida, it creates a significantly larger pool of money that each county/city receives via property, sales and hotel taxes.  In my opinion, how these monies are being spent is what the real concern is. If we don’t want “paradise” to be lost, we need to invest in our state’s future.  How?  Well, nothing less than our school system.  Research shows that when more money is spent on education, especially for students from low-income families, achievement and graduation rates improve, as do life outcomes such as employment, and wages.

What other areas do you believe our local and state politicians should be investing in?
