WSHC+B Fort Lauderdale Office Managing Partner Jamie A. Cole authored a commentary published in multiple news outlets examining the continued use of misleading information about Amendment 3, a proposed Florida constitutional amendment concerning property taxes, on a state-funded website.
Jamie explains that although he successfully challenged the original Amendment 3 ballot title and summary language previously found misleading by a Florida court, it remains on the state’s website. He also raises concerns about the website’s property tax savings calculator, which is based on an earlier version of the proposal rather than the amendment currently before voters. He emphasizes the importance of providing voters with accurate and impartial information.
Jamie represents local officials and governments in legal matters that help to improve their communities and better preserve home rule power. He also represents private and public clients in complex litigation and is an accomplished appellate attorney.
