Re: Congratulations Florida!

Damn that's a great relief..Now if we can only get ole Guvna Cristy out of office and get someone with some actual good sense I think we'd be in good shape...

Re: Congratulations Florida!

This is what I rec'd this morning and I haven't seen anything on the news about SB1840 yet.


Florida: Cigar and Tobacco Tax Still Possibility
Take Action!

Contact your State Representatives and Senators Today! The state budget now is in the hands of a joint House-Senate conference committee. As the State House approved its version of the budget including the $1 per ounce on tobacco and cigars, and the State Senate's version excludes this regressive tax, the two chambers must reach a compromise and put forward one budget bill.

While the Senate remains opposed to the $1 per ounce tax, nothing is certain. We expect both chambers of the Florida Legislature to vote on the compromise bill sometime next week. That still gives us time to contact the Legislature and oppose this draconian tax! Contact your legislators and tell them to oppose the cigar and tobacco tax!

If you have already written your state legislators, write them again! Send another message! Send 10 more messages! Make sure they know where you, as their constituent, stand on this issue! Contact them today!
