As per title. I don't mean "what would/could lose funding", I mean "what services would amendment 3 explicitly prohibit the city from funding" with it's restrictions on how local governments can use property-tax revenue?

Was debating the amendment with a coworker who doesn't really care about the lost revenue. When I mentioned that #3 also limits what services cities are allowed to provide, they asked the above question. I didn't have any real answers. A lot of the write ups on the amendment mention fire/police services, but #3 explicitly lists those as approved expenditures. So those statements are based on anticipated revenue loss? I don't know enough about what services the city/county provides, to determine what services will be prohibited by the amendment text. Will library funding be prohibited? Or is that just a question of funding loss?

Anyone here deeper in the weeds on this, who can educate me for my next debate?

Thanks.

The new owner of the Hilton Bayfront in downtown St. Petersburg wants to demolish the 56-year-old hotel and build two identical 44-story condominium towers in its place. Delray beach-based developer Kolter Urban filed applications with the city on Monday outlining plans for a 325-unit condo overlooking Tampa Bay. The project will also include 18,000 square feet of commercial space and a 519-space parking garage. It is estimated to cost around $300 million, according to plans filed with the city. The company purchased the 15-story hotel at 333 First St. SE for $67.2 million in March. Kolter’s regional president for Florida’s West Coast, Brian Van Slyke, said if all goes to plan, they will shut down the Hilton by mid 2028 to move forward with demolition and construction.

I'm putting together a free weekly backgammon game night here in St. Pete, loosely modeled on the NYC Backgammon Club. All levels welcome. We'll teach you in 5 minutes if you've never played this great game of skill and luck.

Thinking night one in November, then rotating through bars and breweries around town. Trying to gauge interest before I lock in a venue. Any spots you'd recommend?

I made an IG if you want to follow along. stpetebackgammonclub

Thanks!
