Welcome to

A new survey found that 20 percent of Floridians are seriously considering leaving the state.� The Second Annual Sunshine State Survey also found that 43 percent feel that their quality of their life is declining.� That number represents a 7 percent increase over last year.� A total of 1,200 Floridians were interviewed in the poll.� Leadership Florida says there�s no reason to panic yet.

�People are just in real quandary about what�s happening with their property values, what�s happening with property taxes,” said Leadership Florida’s Wendy Abberger.� “And it�s reasonable to expect them to be somewhat pessimistic about their quality of life.� You notice that the majority of them would still encourage other people to come down, move to Florida, from around the country.�

Leadership Florida, the Florida Philanthropic Network and the Jesse Ball duPont Fund commissioned the Sunshine State Survey.
