St. Pete Mayor Warns of Tax Cut Fallout
Description
St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch warns that a proposed property tax amendment on the November ballot could slash $78 million from the city’s budget — a cut that could ripple across 500+ Florida municipalities. While supporters say local governments have overspent and homeowners need relief, Welch highlights the city’s economic strength: 12% job growth, stable population, and progress on affordable housing. He also pushes for keeping the Rays in town and tackling homelessness, showing St. Pete is balancing tough fiscal choices with bold development plans.
