Officer permanently injured in line of duty hopes to get results for other officers

Police Officer William Anderson wants people to vote 'yes' on Amendment 3

ORLANDO, Fla. – After being run over while on the job back in 2015, Orlando police Officer William Anderson has had a long 14-month journey to put his life back together.

"Instead of going out and doing the typical things you do with families during the weeks and weekends, we spend most of the time at doctors appointments and physical therapy," said his wife, Jessica Anderson. "The life-changing impact it really throws your world upside down."

But now, Anderson is on a new journey to help other wounded first responders in Florida, fighting for people to vote yes on Amendment 3.

"Really it's educating the public and making them aware of what Amendment 3 is and the benefit it would provide," Jessica Anderson said.

Florida's Amendment 3 would give property tax exemptions to first responders who have been permanently disabled in the line of duty.

"We thought, what a great benefit that would be," Jessica Anderson said. "It's already extended to those that are killed in the line of duty. It would be a great benefit to those who are wounded as well."

Anderson said it would be a great family for his young family just trying to make ends meet after tragedy.

"It will deduct about $1,500 a year in property taxes, which some might not think it's much, but when your income is not anywhere near what it was, that is quite a bit.

Amendment 3 will be on the November ballot. To learn more, click here.
