Florida Consumer Action Network opposes all this year's constitutional amendments, including 11, the Florida Senior Homestead Tax Exemption. Why? Why not give tax cuts to low-income seniors?
While this year provides Florida voters with one of the longest ballots in quite some time, there is only one amendment that Florida TaxWatch has endorsed.
Recently, two pieces of proposed legislation — Senate Bill, SB 1506 and SB 1316 — were amended to include dangerous provisions that would allow nonmedical doctors, specifically optometrists, to prescribe and administer systemic oral drugs for the first time in the state's history.
Gov. Rick Scott will never win any popularity contests with the liberals at Florida's teacher union. Now, his curious call to shift budget savings back to education threatens to undermine his conservative base, as well.
It's no coincidence that the four-year-old story about state Sen. Mike Haridopolos' "book deal" resurfaced this week. After all, he's running for U.S. Senate, and that makes him target practice for both the right and left.
