Amendment Three Could Slash City Budgets | Tampa News

Largo, Florida is bracing for a major fiscal shake-up as voters face Amendment Three, a ballot measure that could slash the city’s general revenue fund by over $15 million starting in 2028. The amendment, centered on property taxes, threatens to reshape how cities fund critical services like police, fire, parks, and libraries. City leaders are already reviewing every aspect of operations — from staffing to public events — to prepare for potential cuts. Residents are divided: some, like Eugene Martin, fear losing local control, while others, like Krista Lundquist, see it as an overdue chance for tough budget decisions. With the election on November 3rd and a 60% approval threshold needed, the outcome will determine whether Largo embraces fiscal restraint or risks service reductions — and everyone’s invited to weigh in.
