Key Proposals:
A reduction in the communications services tax, applied to cell-phone bills and cable and satellite television. It would reduce state revenues by $470.9 million and save an average Florida family about $43 a year.
Increased spending on education.
A reduction in the state’s payroll by more than 1,000 full-time positions, mostly from the Department of Health.
State workers would not get a raise, but Scott pointed out that they would receive the benefits of the state’s tax cuts. (laughable)
Spending on transportation would fall by almost $235.5 million.
