Justices Again Reject Growth Management Estimate
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: September 26, 2008
TALLAHASSEE - The Florida Supreme Court says the state's revised statement on how much a proposed growth management amendment might cost taxpayers is still vague and misleading.
In an advisory opinion to the attorney general, the court said Thursday that the Financial Impact Estimating Conference statement must be redrafted again because the language from state economists "suffers from the same flaw" that the court ruled last year as misleading.
Florida Hometown Democracy is leading the drive that would require voter approval of changes in plans that determine how and where cities and counties grow.
The court, however, said economists could try for a third time to get it right.
