Florida lawmakers weigh instant lottery and tax exemptions
Florida legislators foresee an instant winner lottery by year end as a major 1987 session issue. Rep. Robert Harden and Rep. Bolley Johnson say a full lotto could follow years later, with revenues possibly exceeding 300 million annually, while lottery funds may fund education. They also debate which sales tax exemptions to retain, with services exemptions and health care and insurance likely excluded from tax.
