Florida Legislature Debates State College and Flood Bills
The Florida Senate plans to approve Gainesville as the site for a state medical college while deferring construction to a future session with fewer money problems. Flood control bills create a 17 county flood district and dissolve the Everglades drainage district after its debt is paid. The state budget issue remains unresolved as funding for project costs is left to the appropriations committee. A key tax report by a special committee will ease preparing the forthcoming appropriations bills. If both houses back the plan, the committee will know state revenue for the next two years.
