The quarter of Seattle Seahawks, Geno Smith, apparently agreed with the position of the Governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, on the payment of annual property taxes.
Desantis proposed the idea of getting rid of land taxes in the state while he was talking about the establishment of a working group of the efficiency of the Ministry of Efficiency to help reduce state expenditure.

“Just to be on your property, you must write a check to the government each year, so you essentially pay rent to the government to live on your own property,” said Desantis, via Florida Voice News.
“There are family property things that allow you to protect yourself to a certain extent, but you pay more, and many people cannot afford it, so I think it’s a big problem, and I know that we will really look for ways to relieve people of that, because I think it really said something that added.

Smith reacted with an emoji on X, suggesting that the republican governor was on the point.

Smith is signed with the Seahawks during the 2025 season. He earned more than $ 67.4 million in his career, according to Spotrac.
Desantis approved the idea earlier this month on X.
“Land taxes are local, not the state. We would therefore need to make a constitutional amendment (obliges 60% of voters to approve) to eliminate them (which I would support) or even to reform / lower them,” he wrote in an article on social networks.

“We must put the most daring amendment on the ballot of voting which has a chance to obtain this 60%. I agree that taxing the land / goods is the more oppressive and ineffective form of taxation.”
