Florida lawmakers propose new taxes on beer whisky and cigarettes
In Tallahassee, Senate President Verle Pope and House Speaker Ralph Turlington floated a package to raise ad valorem and beverage taxes to cover a projected state budget gap. A beer tax of five cents per can and whiskey tax of 25 cents per fifth could yield about 182 million and 25 million respectively for education, with cigarettes adding another 25 million. They defended price variance as proof tax hikes would not hurt.
