Property tax amendment local impacts, U.S. Senate Democratic primary and weekly news
Q: What is the role of the state if this passes?
There is no state fund to backfill local governments; money saved would likely be offset by higher property tax rates, new fees, or service cuts, and the power dynamics would shift upward toward the state in many cases.
'Freedom Won, Freedom Lost,' History of Fort Mose and Emancipation Day in Florida
Q: What do you hope readers take away from your book about this history?
The hope is that people recognize that America's history includes African American achievements and struggles, and that progress comes with acknowledging the truth of the past even when it is uncomfortable, while also highlighting how far the nation has come and what remains to be done.
'Freedom Won, Freedom Lost,' History of Fort Mose and Emancipation Day in Florida
