Florida TaxWatch Launches Center for Florida Citizenship

Florida TaxWatch launched the Center for Florida Citizenship at an event at the Old Capitol in Tallahassee on Wednesday.

The new organization will educate Floridians on their state government and encourage them to become active in state affairs.

"To hold government accountable, citizens must be directly involved in its processes," said Dominic Calabro, the president and CEO of Florida TaxWatch, on Wednesday. "The Center for Florida Citizenship will give Floridians the tools they need to understand government and take necessary steps to effect change."

The new center will be chaired by former Gov. Bob Martinez
