Immediate tax relief.

BLAISE INGOLIA AUDITS FLAGLER COUNTY
There has been much concern over the growth of governments in recent years. Some growth in government spending is needed to support essential services in rapid growing areas like Flagler County. A recent review by Governor DeSantis CFO, Blaise Ingoglia, found Flagler County to be the worst county of those counties reviewed to date when it comes to excessive, wasteful spending. Here are the key points from his review:
- The General Fund grew nearly 120% (from $92.5 million in FY 2019-20 to $202.7 million in FY 2025-26).
- Using a benchmark of inflation + population growth, the county added $3,385 in budget spending per new resident (or $13,542 per family of four).
- The county added 80 full-time administrative employees during this time.
- Flagler showed the highest budget increase among the 17+ local governments reviewed so far by the Florida Agency for Fiscal Oversight.
- Ingoglia recommended immediate property tax relief for residents, arguing that excess belongs to taxpayer's pocket rather than government coffers.

Media Bias
They took photos all evening and the best one they have of Anna Jones is looking down? You can see the bias in the photos and the puff piece reporting for incumbents. They won't give fair and honest reporting or interviews. They are shills for the establishment. You know we are in deep trouble when the media covers for them.
They left out when I said THE GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT. The GMA is a caveat to over development. Infrastructure must be CONCURRENT with GROWTH and projects can be denied or delayed until the criteria is met.
Palm Coast Observer Election Guide
Anna Jones stood out with clear resident-first answers:
-10/10 on fiscal responsibility & protecting taxpayers
-10/10 on smart growth & transparency
-Strong support for coastal communities and cutting wasteful spending
While others gave mixed or low scores on government size, rapid growth (if we need more fire and police, impact fees must cover the cost), and tax relief, Anna consistently prioritized YOU - the residents - over special interests.
District 4 deserves better. VOTE ANNA JONES for Flagler County Commission!
BUDGETS, MILLAGE RATES, and TAXES!
Transparency Dashboard is a joke.
Just try and figure out what 16% and 14% OTHER ...30% of our taxes go to pet projects. Also, the Sheriff's budget...residents, past present and future officials have said the Sheriff's budget is too big. They've told me not to get on his bad side, but one can't help questioning this top number.
10 years of taxable values and millage rates
FY 22-23 the roll back rate dropped to 7.16
This is because property values grew and new growth.
*****70%*****
The millage rates should've gone down too, but they only went down .10 (The rollback rate is the millage rate that would generate THE SAME REVENUE AS THE YEAR BEFORE). So, when they say they've dropped the millage, it's true, but they need to do much better!
For Homes Valued at $250K (300K - 50K Homestead)
If we lowered the millage to 7.16 (a reasonable rate) you would pay $1,790 (-$255).
If we lowered the millage to 6.78 (what Ingolia suggested) you would pay $1,695 (-$350)
Just eliminate the waste, fraud, and abuse!
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF THE HOMESTEAD VOTE WRITTEN BY THE COUNTY
Their numbers are higher than my estimates. I have estimated there will be a 17% reduction ($24M) in 2027 and 24% reduction in 2028 ($37M).
Whatever the actual numbers are, they are telling us the sky is falling and we will all die of starvation. Waste, Fraud, and Abuse are not isolated by Flagler County alone, but their adamant denial is astounding. This is why the state did the FAFO Audit and now Governor DeSantis wants to lower taxes for our most vulnerable. I have met many people here that need it. Please vote yes.
FLAGLER BOCC STRATEGIC PLAN
PowerPoint Presentations. Why so many? Just give us data.
I'm pretty sure the BOCC does not read these books. It's obvious they do not read the agendas they are voting on. F.I.R.S.T. - Fiscal accountability, Innovative solutions, Responsible growth, Superior service, and Transparent government. Of the 1000s of pages I've been reading, this statement is the most laughable.
Seminole Woods and E section project from 58 to 73
The county has approved commercial shopping center the size of 5 Walmarts in a neighborhood community, along with over 500 units of housing. The same at Palm Coast earlier this year approving the addition of homes from the max 58 to 73. These meetings were both packed with people and they passed them anyway. Is that responsible growth or superior service? Nope! A slap in the face!
TRAFFIC WILL BE GRIDLOCK BY 2045!
They have skewed the traffic data so they can expand SR 100 from I-95 to A1A for their Eco Tourism building. While adding the BJs, Walmart, and so many other stores on SR 100 from Belle Terre to I-95, this traffic will be a nightmare! This route needs priority!
Impact Fees are not paying for growth!
These builders are getting away with everything! You can see here that the General Revenue (our already high taxes) pays for so many projects and the Impact Fees $1.9M only contributed to the Westside Firestation 51. This is not enough! Growth must pay for growth!
WETLANDS, FLOOD ZONES FOR TINY HOUSES!
THEY'RE FILLING IN THE WETLANDS! THESE ARE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEMS AND THEY'RE KILLING THEM! WHEN YOU CREATE IMPERVIOUS SURFACES, SUCH AS ROOFTOPS, ROADS AND PARKING LOTS THE RAINWATER GOES INTO CANALS AND INTO THE OCEAN AND NOT THE GROUNDWATER. WHEN THEY KEEP PUMPING WATER FROM THE GROUNDWATER, YOU GET SINKHOLES AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH GROUNDWATER FOR THE BUILDING THEY WANT TO DO.. WE NEED TO PROTECT THESE FRAGILE ECOSYSTEMS WITH LARGE BUFFERS TO ABSORB THE RUNOFF INTO THE GROUNDWATER AND THIS ALSO ACTS AS A WILDLIFE CORRIDOR FOR ANIMALS. WE MUST ENFORCE THIS!
Realtors support Pennington!
Anna Jones had a meeting with FCAR. She explained that she lived and worked in 2 of the top Master Planned Communities in the country, Summerlin Las Vegas and Reston, VA. These communities had a well planned vision with parks and amenities built first and infrastructure kept pace with development. Here in Palm Coast/Flagler County there is no clear vision and infrastructure is severely lacking. She stated Zillow lists Palm Coast as the number 3 city to move to in Florida with the WARNING: RAPID GROWTH IS STRAINING INFRASTRUCTURE. We must fix the infrastructure and have a clear vision of what the future of Flagler County looks like for all. Instead, they chose to support my opponent that approves massive development in our neighborhoods (Grand Landings/SWoods).
Flagler County Buzz Interview

Builder Impact Fees are for FUTURE GROWTH, including core services
such as Fire, Police, Utilities, Water, Wastewater, Schools, Parks and Recreation, and sometimes roads.
Beach Management is maintenence and does not qualify for impact fees.
(See Beach Management section).
Job Performance Evaluations should be done annually.
***BEACH MANAGEMENT!!***
For years, Flagler has been the only county in the state without a dedicated ~$12M plan to systematically restore, maintain, and protect its 18 miles of beaches and dunes. This absence has left the residents frustrated and the county relying on piecemeal projects and state/federal grants, which are not sufficient for regular maintenance or large-scale renourishment.
Anna believes this is pure mismanagement and should not require a MSBU. With the last few years of record high property taxes, this issue should have been solved. Yet, when citizens do their own research and offer solutions, Pennington dismissed months of their hard work saying it's AI. Whether the issue is airport noise of pollution, beach management, flooding, massive developments in neighborhoods, traffic ...we are mocked or ignored ...and we've all heard "JUST MOVE!"

SMART GROWTH - NOT ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION
Rapid development and growth lead to loss of several key environmental elements that provide habitat for wildlife and plant species, as well as natural services that abate flooding risks and help improve air quality. Smart growth strategies include preserving habitat, and expanding habitats corridors and buffers along existing and planned drainage pathways, including those that are man-made. Tree buffers help reduce flooding and improve water quality. There must be buffers between new residential and commercial developments as well to improve quality of life. The County already has a number of these buffers and we should look for opportunities to connect them to existing protected habitats, including those in parks and conservation areas. This would offset some of the habitat losses associated with growth. When elected, I will aggressively pursue landscape design and SMART GROWTH options between the State, County, and Local Communities.
We CARE about the FUTURE of Flagler County!
