PBC Staff Analysis of Fire/Rescue Sales Tax Opposition Claims

---

At the request of Palm Beach County Commissioner Santamaria, the Director of the County Office of Financial Management and Budget (OFMB), Liz Bloeser, evaluated the points made by the Economic Council in their letter to commissioners (and which echo the points made on the website). Her letter is posted on the website.

Her analysis determined that each claim is accurate (although they feel the call rate does not completely account for the 82% budget increase.)
