In the first leg of a political trifecta, Florida Republicans will conduct a straw poll that could determine the 2012 presidential race.
Some 3,500 state delegates will convene for "Presidency 5" in Orlando to hear the crowded field of GOP contenders debate and to cast the nation's first significant straw ballots Sept. 22-24.
Hosted by the Republican Party of Florida, the previous four Presidency summits have set the tone for GOP presidential campaigns.
Florida House and Senate budget negotiators have agreed to a tax shift that could benefit corporations doing business in the state.
Proponents say the "single sales factor" formula would remove a tax disincentive for corporations to locate property and jobs in Florida.
