Palm Beach County voters OK tax cut and millions for parks, libraries

Palm Beach County voters supported a measure Nov. 3 that will slash property taxes while overwhelmingly approving tax increases to fund more than $400 million in l ibrary and park improvements. Amendment 3, the statewide referendum that significantly increases the homestead property tax exemption, passed in Palm Beach County by 20 percentage points.

Tiger Woods on hand as son Charlie Woods makes Florida State decision official

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. ― Legendary professional golfer Tiger Woods was on hand to witness his son, Charlie Woods , during a milestone day. The younger Woods donned a Florida State cap ― paired with a big smile ― during a signing day ceremony at Benjamin High School , headlining Class of 2027 student-athletes being recognized for their collegiate decisions ahead of National Signing Day. Tiger Woods was present with other family members, as well as Robert McNamara, Executive Vice President of TGR, Tiger Woods Ventures, as they applauded Charlie and other Benjamin athletes during the signing ceremony. The group took photos together afterwards, and Tiger gave his son a trademark fist-bump once the ceremony was completed. The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods signed with Florida State on Friday during a National Signing Day ceremony at The Benjamin School, nine months after verbally committing to the Seminoles in February. Woods ultimately chose FSU over offers from programs around the country and will take a different path than his father, who played two years at Stanford. At Florida State, Woods will join Miles Russell, one of the top players in the Class of 2027, giving the Seminoles one of the more
