RPOF Attacks Democrats for Not Backing Rick Scott's Tax Cuts

Gov. Rick Scott will start his tour of Florida on Tuesday to showcase his call to reduce taxes and fees by $500 million. With Democrats writing off Scotts proposal and former Senate Democratic Leader Nan Rich, the only major candidate who filed to run for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination so far, the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) went to bat for the governor.

The Florida Democratic Party has chosen to join their leading liberal, Nan Rich, in opposing Rick Scotts $500 million in proposed tax cuts that would help this states middle-class families, said RPOF Chairman Lenny Curry on Tuesday before turning his fire to the Florida Democratic Party. It confirms that Allison Tant and her dysfunctional, desperate party stick to the failed liberal notion that tax relief and investing in education are mutually exclusive. Rick Scott has proven that by focusing on economic growth, tax cuts that spur job creation and lower Floridians cost of living go hand in hand with a budget that provides record state-based funding of our schools, a budget that nearly eight in 10 legislative Democrats supported.
