In this episode, we conclude our special four-part series focused on educating Floridians about Amendment 3 and its potential impact on property taxes and essential local services. We sit down with Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson to discuss what changes to local property tax revenue could mean for public safety.

Sheriff Adkinson explains the realities of operating a sheriff’s office, from staffing and response times to equipment, training and technology, and how growing communities continue to increase demand for law enforcement services. He also discusses concerns surrounding public safety funding, the potential for tax shifts or increased fees, and the difficult choices communities could face if revenues decline while expectations for service remain the same.

Hear Sheriff Adkinson’s perspective on what Floridians should understand about Amendment 3 before heading to the ballot box.
