Florida governor wants more than $600 million in tax cuts

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Rick Scott wants $618 million in tax cuts in the coming year.

During stops in three Florida cities, Scott on Wednesday will tout a tax cut package he's asking the Republican-controlled Florida Legislature to pass this spring.

Scott's $618 million tax cut package includes a proposal to cut by 25 percent the sales taxes charged on commercial rents.

Other tax cuts Scott is proposing include a 10-day back-to-school sales tax holiday, as well as a three-day sales tax holiday for military veterans. He also wants to eliminate sales taxes charged on college textbooks.

he will make it so his sucessor has to take the fall for Florida either becoming bankrupt or installing an income tax...

Meanwhile the undead Governor will be campaigning for President, touting his tax cuts to brain dead Republicans.

And he doesn't even have to run around naked or throw an alligator through a drive through window.
