Attention Leon County voters, we have a problem! Leon County falls shockingly behind the state averages in many areas tied directly to the health, safety, and wellbeing of our children! The good news? YOU can do something about it.
On November 3, 2020, we have the chance to VOTE YES on a Children’s Services Council (CSC) to improve the lives and outcomes of children and families in our community. If approved, the CSC of Leon County will begin receiving funding in Novemberor December of 2021!
Section 125.901, Florida Statutes, gives counties the authority to create an independent special district with taxing authority for the purpose of providing funding for children’s services – if the local electorate approves. The CSC will be responsible for computing a proposed millage rate (the maximum millage rate allowed by law of 0.5 mils would result in approximately $8 million in Leon County).
A CSC’s sole purpose is to invest in the wellbeing of children. The time is now to VOTE YES on creating an investment in the future of our community!
