Today, we remember our brother, Lieutenant Ray Keith, who we lost three years ago to occupational cancer.

Ray's legacy lives on through his family, friends, and the brothers and sisters who had the privilege of serving alongside him.

Rest easy, Brother. Gone but never forgotten.

Florida’s firefighters support meaningful property tax relief. We also believe Floridians deserve to understand what Amendment 3 could mean for the public safety services they rely on every day.

FPF President Wayne “Bernie” Bernoska explains why we’re asking voters to learn how their local fire department is funded, ask questions, and understand the consequences before Election Day.

Property values in Delray Beach have skyrocketed, especially downtown, and residents understandably want to see some relief.

It is also important to understand that much of the new development and rising property values downtown are within the CRA. The CRA has done a tremendous amount of good work investing in redevelopment, infrastructure, economic development, and improvements throughout the district.

But for properties within the CRA, the General Fund largely receives the tax revenue tied to the 1985 base-year tax roll, while 95% of the property-tax growth above that base is transferred to the CRA for redevelopment purposes.

That means the tremendous increase in downtown property values does not translate dollar-for-dollar into additional General Fund revenue to pay for citywide services such as police, fire, parks, and other day-to-day operations.

That distinction matters when discussing rising property values, the City’s budget, and potential property-tax relief for residents.
