📰 News we're reading
• Less taxes, more taxes: Palm Beach County voters say ‘yes' to all (stetnews.org) — Belle Glade could face a substantial property-tax squeeze under voter-approved Amendment 3: more than 90% of its homesteaded properties are valued at $250,000 or less, the exemption planned for its second year. Palm Beach County voters also approved taxes for parks, libraries and schools, while implementation rules and a possible legal challenge remain unresolved. 
• Social Security payment schedule changed in November. What happened? (palmbeachpost.com) — Veterans Day moved November's Social Security payment for people born November 1–10 to Tuesday, Nov. 10, a day earlier than usual. Payments for other birthday groups remain scheduled for Nov. 18 and 25, while November's SSI payment went out Oct. 30 because the first fell on a Sunday.
