Matti Bower Promises to Work Closely With Tallahassee to Lower Florida Property Taxes in Miami Beach
Florida Property Tax issue heats up on the Beach.
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 11, 2007
Concerns over increased property taxes in the state of Florida have Miami Beach residents wondering what a new administration is going to do to address the issue. Mayoral candidate Matti Bower was quick to ease residents fears.
"I am going to work very diligently with Tallahassee to find solutions to further reduce property taxes in Miami Beach," Matti Bower stated.
Bower isn't just talk. Through her tireless efforts, the Mayoral candidate Bower ensured voters (not special interests) had the chance to decide during the Nov. 6 elections what to do with the seven-acre site at 4701 N. Meridian Avenue should Mount Sinai Medical Center sell the Miami Heart Institute. See: http://www. miamisunpost. com/0906news (http://www. miamisunpost. com/0906news)
Miami Beach residents will be heading to the polls once again November 20 to decide who the next Mayor will be. Matti received the most number of votes this past week, however, she fell just short of the required 50 plus 1 percent.
Ms. Bower has been an outspoken advocate for Miami Beach. She recently received a ringing endorsement from the Miami Herald as well as Miami Beach's popular outgoing Mayor, David Dermer.

Ms. Bower, a community activist before running for office, supports ''controlled growth'' and responsive government, according to the Herald. See http://www. miamiherald. com/1231/story/283531.html (http://www. miamiherald. com/1231/story/283531.html) for endorsement.
Additionally The Miami Herald had this to say about Matti Bower:
"Ms. Bower wants to focus on the city's fiscal health and continue making improvements in North Beach. A longtime advocate of controlled growth, Ms. Bowers says she would even slow down the city's pace of growth if that were necessary to meet the Beach's infrastructure needs. She also is concerned with traffic congestion, workforce housing and looking after the needs of children and the elderly."
The concerns over property taxes have been renewed in recent weeks as Beach residents began receiving their tax bills in the mail.
