PROPERTY TAX AMENDMENT“Yes on 1—Save our Homes NOW,” the FAR-supported campaign that advocates passage of the property tax amendment going before voters in January, recently unveiled a new Web commercial highlighting Orlando residents Keith and Elizabeth Markowitz. The Markowitzes have a growing family and need a bigger home; and portability, according to Keith, will “help us afford more house. It’s going to help us attain our dream.” According to Gov. Charlie Crist, “Property owners are overwhelmed by their taxes, and families like the Markowitzes deserve a break.” To view the commercial, go to: http://www.yeson1florida.com/video_gallery.php
