The Colier County Legislative Delegation held a post session wrap up town hall meeting at Edison College on July 1st. The meeting was well attended and provided citizens an opportunity to hear from their Legislators, and to engage them with their concerns. The discussion was lively and at times very direct. “Our form of government was on display and in perfect working order” stated Rep. Hudson. “Government of , by , and for the people makes us the greatest country in the world” remarked Hudson.

July 1st the tax on a pack of cigarettes goes up one dollar in the state of Florida. Proponents of the measure will say that people who smoke will chose to quit and at the same time the added tax will create additional revenue. The math seems very fuzzy and the outcomes unlikely. Rep. Hudson stands for less taxes and less government and voted against the measure this spring in Tallahassee. Please go to www.tobaccofreeflorida.com for ideas and tools to quit smoking.

Well it’s finally here the catalyst for growth in this wonderful new community. Publix opened to the cheers of many residents. While obviously bringing much needed convenience this store should serve as a “focal point of the community and become a catalyst for continued growth” stated Hudson. The store will also be very convenient for Rep Hudson on his way back from Immokalee and the East coast.

Yesterday in Tallahassee Governor Charlie Crist signed House Bill 701 sponsored by Representative Matt Hudson into law. This new law brings about dramatic changes to property owners notice of assessments and taxes otherwise known as the TRIM notice or Truth in Millage notice. This form has long been very confusing and impractical for property owners. The new form will provide property owners with relevant useful information that will allow them to better understand their property taxes. This new law is yet another example of Representative Hudson’s desire to put common sense in State Government.
