35. Actually, my one major peeve on Florida is the lack of a state income tax
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 08:53 AM by PeterU
Had we one of those (so long as it is not too excessive and progressively implemented), we would have much better funded state services.

Other than that, there's no where else I'd rather live. California included (but I wouldn't mind visiting).
