Florida lawmakers aim for economy push this week
Florida legislators in the 1947 session near its close may shift to an economy focus and back cutbacks on lavish appropriations. Joint no more taxes proposals from House and Senate tax committees reject new levies to cover a looming 34.812 million dollar state deficit and urge reductions in already approved budgets. The large general appropriations bill remains unsigned by Gov. Caldwell as talks continue.

Budget Groups Endorse Cuts To Reach 63.3 Million
Budget groups and the Governor backed trimming the deficit to 63.3 million while seeking a 10 million general fund guarantee for emergencies. They proposed shifting 1 million from the internal improvement fund and reducing the second priority building program, with 3.7 million still to cover by 1949. Senate stalemate blocked action as Mathews Gray and Shands opposed new taxes.
