The Florida Association of Counties has a plan -- warn Floridians what
tax cuts mean in lost services.

House Republicans have a counter-plan -- arm members with accusations
that the counties are lying.

The eight-page rebuttal from the House Majority Office warns Republican
lawmakers that counties have launched a "desperate public relations
campaign (that) may frighten enough citizens and legislators into
inaction this year.

"They are going so far as to encourage county officials to send home
notes with young children threatening children's
programs if property taxes are reduced."

It accuses counties of largesse and waste, and contends they for months
have opposed "any real, substantive tax relief."

"The Florida House and the Florida Association of Counties have
competing and opposed interests in mind. The Florida House wants to cut
property taxes as much as possible; the Florida Association of Counties
wants to oppose property tax cuts as much as possible," the document reads.
