Bloc Holds Out Against Tax Bolster
In Tallahassee the Senate minority used a marathon filibuster to block final action on Governor Holland's county tax system. Administrators pressed two bills aimed at 100 percent assessments and wide state power, but the chamber struck down much of the proposed state authority, delaying a vote and fueling a dramatic late session that stretched into hours after midnight. Opponents warned of eroding home rule while supporters argued for equalized assessments and county financial stability.
