Florida lawmakers await revenue data as they consider budget

Florida lawmakers await revenue data as they consider budget Associated Press 1 hr ago TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Both chambers of the Florida Legislature will take up their respective budget proposals during floor sessions this week, as they now begin racing the clock to deliver a balanced budget for the governor s consideration. Just four weeks remain before lawmakers end their two-month session, and much of the work ahead will depend on the latest state revenue projections, which are expected to be released Tuesday. Last summer, state economists projected a revenue downturn of $5.4 billion over two years but rosier December data prompted the shortfall to be adjusted downward to $3.3 billion.

Editorial: Boosting Florida s meager unemployment payment is the right thing to do

Editorial: Boosting Florida s meager unemployment payment is the right thing to do Editorial Boards - USA Today Florida Network © Allen Eyestone, The Palm Beach Post Florida Reemployment Assistance applications were available outside the front doors of Palm Beach County libraries a year go, as the coronavirus pandemic began ravaging the state s economy. A year later, unemployed Floridians are still having issues accessing the state s rickety unemployment benefits website. Floridians have learned that genuinely good news from Tallahassee during the current legislative session, no less is a rare and precious thing. Usually the most we can hope for is entertainment in the form of over-the-top grandstanding from the likes of North Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz. And even that took a dark turn this week.

Right to Farm bill opposition a case study in out of touch politics

Right to Farm bill opposition a case study in out of touch politics Attacking those who make an honest living growing food for others is not a good strategy. This Session, one of the biggest flashpoints in Tallahassee has emerged between environmental groups and Florida farmers, which include the powerful sugar industry a prodigious campaign contributor and mainstay in Tallahassee politics over the past several decades. On one side, Senate President Wilton Simpson, an egg farmer by trade, is advocating for legislation ( HB 1601) that will further protect farmers from frivolous lawsuits. The bill has also received support from many Democrats. On the other side, Florida environmental groups are attempting to throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater because they object to anything perceived as helping the sugar industry (which in an odd twist of irony, also grows other crops such as vegetables, rice, citrus and sod).
