Florida Solons Try To Settle Tax Issue As Session Years End
Florida lawmakers moved into the final fateful week of the 1949 session with the tax issue still unsettled. With a June 3 adjournment deadline, they had five days to agree on a two year spending plan and new taxes to finance the budget. Senate and House prepared to tackle both problems in a rush to avoid a special session. The Senate held a 25 page appropriations bill totaling a record 248 535 348 dollars while the House debated a related measure at about 232 679 263 dollars. Tax subcommittees were to report revised proposals aimed at producing 25 000 000 to 35 000 000 dollars in new annual revenue. The Senate group planned to base its recommendation on a transactions and services tax, while the House panel considered Gov Fuller Warren proposals and other existing levies.
