Tax Modernization Choices for Florida
Florida's tax system is antiquated, unfair and inadequate
to meet the needs of the nation's fourth-largest state.   
Reforming Florida's tax structure could produce revenue
to meet needs, close the budget gap and fix the long-term
structural budget deficit.  February, 2011  

Chair's Perspective
Question of Tax Adequacy Revolves Around the Role of Government and the Services It Provides

"The real issue in adequacy is the role of government and the level of services it should supply," he writes.  "Unfortunately, the debate on governmental services has strayed from this basic discussion. The prevailing topic now seems to be how the current revenue stream should be spent. There is seldom a discussion of whether or not that revenue stream meets the needs of the citizens.  This is the most backwards way to decide public policy that is imaginable." March 2011

The League of Women Voters of Orange County is open to both women and men. The League is a non-partisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy. While the League may hold positions on various issues, the League never supports or opposes any candidate or political party.

JOIN US IN MAKING THINGS HAPPEN

Interested in education issues, advocacy, preserving natural resources and growth management, Voter Services, budget planning? Then we have the spot for you.

What we are talking about here is team work. Teams who would get together to “study” or explore an issue and help the LWVOC board pursue its mission. We are not talking days of boring meetings but ways of coming together with friends on your schedule to make a difference.

You would help determined the focus and direction that our local League will take in the coming year and in the process have fun, make friends and tackle issues that are important to our county, state and nation.

If you would like to be part of the education, advocacy (which involves meeting lawmakers), natural resources and growth management, budget planning (we need planners not necessarily numbers people) and Voter Services, contact LWVOC President Ann Hellmuth at abhellmuth@gmail.com or at 407-808-9345. See our full program.

We’d love to have your help in making things happen as we head into a busy 2012 election year.
