Florida property tax ballot language misleading, judge says

A Tallahassee judge said the title and summary for the November ballot initiative to reduce homeowners’ property tax, originally proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, is “clearly and conclusively defective” and ordered it rewritten.

The proposed state constitutional amendment, however, will still be on the ballot; Circuit Judge David Frank made clear he wasn’t asked to remove it and had no legal authority to do so.
