第三号修正案冲击光芒队球场协议 县委员称财务测算若大变应重新审视

佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县坦帕市消息,希尔斯伯勒县委员克里斯·博尔斯(Chris Boles)表示,如果11月3日通过的佛州第三号修正案“在实质上改变财务测算”,县政府“应当重新审视”坦帕湾光芒队新球场协议。第三号修正案将自住房免税额从5万美元提高到2027年的15万美元、2028年的25万美元,并把非自住房产的年度评估涨幅上限从10%降至5%。无党派机构佛罗里达政策研究所测算,希尔斯伯勒县两个财年将因此减少9.711亿美元收入。县委员会去年8月以5比2投票,承诺为球场项目提供最高7.96亿美元,其中约83%来自旅游开发税与销售税;坦帕市议会则以4比3投票承诺最高8000万美元公共基建资金,并通过社区惠益协议。博尔斯的表态是修正案通过后县方首次公开提出可能重审协议。
Amendment 3 Clouds Rays Stadium Deal; County Commissioner Says Agreement Should Be Revisited If Fiscal Math Changes Materially
TAMPA, Florida — Hillsborough County Commissioner Chris Boles said the county "should revisit" the Tampa Bay Rays' new stadium agreement if Florida's Amendment 3, passed on November 3, "materially changes the financial calculations." Amendment 3 raises the homestead exemption from $50,000 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, and cuts the annual assessment cap for non-homestead property from 10% to 5%. The nonpartisan Florida Policy Institute estimates Hillsborough County will lose $971.1 million in revenue over two fiscal years as a result. Last August the county commission voted 5-2 to commit up to $796 million to the stadium project, about 83% of it from tourist-development and sales taxes; the Tampa City Council voted 4-3 to commit up to $80 million in public infrastructure funding and approved a community benefits agreement. Boles's remarks are the first public suggestion from the county since the amendment passed that the deal could be reopened.
