Lawmakers Poised To Dig Into Scott Budget Plan

November 28, 2015

With Gov. Rick Scott proposing a $79.3 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year, House and Senate committees next week will start looking at details of the plan.

Numerous legislative panels will receive presentations about Scott’s proposal, which is an initial step as lawmakers prepare to draw up a budget for the fiscal year starting July 1.

The House Appropriations Committee is scheduled to receive a presentation at noon Tuesday from Scott’s budget chief, Cynthia Kelly, and the Senate Appropriations Committee will receive a presentation at 10 a.m. next Wednesday, according to calendars posted online.

Also, subcommittees will receive a series of presentations, starting Tuesday with the House Education Appropriations Subcommittee and the House Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations Subcommittee.

Meanwhile, the House Finance & Tax Committee on Tuesday is expected to hear about Scott’s proposed $1 billion tax-cut package.

Five Senate budget subcommittees are slated to receive presentations next Thursday.

    Maybe some of the politicians will look into raises for the correction officers. It’s a glaring fact that scott is anti correction officer. Hiring july jones, that knows nothing about the justice system is proof that scott is anti correction officer. SAD!
