Letters to the editor: Tax amendment is not beneficial for all

Re: "Amendment fails the fairness test" (Mary Ann Lindley, Jan. 6).

Mary Ann Lindley was right on point with her Sunday column about the problems with the property-tax amendment currently being pushed by Gov. Crist and the Florida Legislature.

It is absurd to perpetuate a system that does not treat all property owners equally with regard to the relationship between the value of their property and the amount they pay in property tax.

What is needed is a level playing field for all property owners in Florida, and the current fix being touted does nothing to restore equity to the system. In reality it only makes things worse.
