Charlie Crist Targeted on Property Taxes in New RPOF Ad

The Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) released a new TV ad defending Gov. Rick Scott from former Gov. Charlie Crists charge that he raised property taxes. The ad also notes that Crist raised taxes during his term in office. Despite having spent most of his political life as a Republican, Crist is the favorite to win the Democratic primary later this month to determine who takes on Scott in November.

Charlie Crist found one thing hes worse at than being governor basic math, said Leslie Dougher, the chairwoman of the RPOF, on Wednesday. Crist invents new math to claim that Rick Scott raised property taxes. Thats false. Whats true is that Charlie Crist raised taxes by $2.2 billion. And while he calls himself the peoples candidate, Charlie Crist has never paid property taxes and never made a mortgage payment. Charlie Crist may have reinvented himself, but he cant invent new math or a new record.
