Reduce property tax (Required Local Effort) by 1 mill
"Reduce the statewide property tax [Required Local Effort] by $1.4 billion (from 5.29 mills to 4.29 mills, a 19 percent reduction). Savings from other key components in my 7-step plan will be used to replace those funds so that not $1 is shifted away from our schools."
Reduce property tax by another 1 mill over next 7 years
Eliminate Florida's corporate income tax over 7 years
