Florida House Prepares Taxes Sweep Amid Soft Drink Bill Defeat
The Florida House tax committee continued a sweep of special calendars in preparation for new taxes. They killed a proposed soft drink levy aimed at cities and counties, signaling a general sales tax push. The measure, backed by Reps Hetheax and Sellar, would have raised about $5 million for poorer cities, while the Senate planned funds for conservation districts and the Stephen Foster memorial.
