Scott To Visit Pensacola Today On ‘Tax Cut Victory Tour’
June 22, 2015
Gov. Rick Scott will barnstorm across the state Monday to tout a tax-cut package that he signed into law last week.
Scott will travel to Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Pensacola, St. Petersburg and West Palm Beach on what his office is touting as a “tax cut victory tour.”
The package (HB 33A), which lawmakers approved during a special session, is projected by state economists to cut revenue by $372.4 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1. As he won a second term last year, Scott made tax cuts a key issue in his campaign. Early this year, he proposed $673 million in tax cuts.
The package approved by lawmakers includes cutting the communications-services tax on cell-phone and cable-TV bills; providing a 10-day sales-tax holiday for back-to-school shoppers; and eliminating for one year sales taxes on college textbooks.
“Floridians can spend their money better than government can, and I am proud that this tax cut will save money for Florida families who pay a cell phone, cable or satellite TV bill,” Scott said in a prepared statement announcing the tour.
Scott’s appearance in Pensacola will be at 7:15 p.m. at The Apple Market, 2021 Scenic Highway.
