Tax Cut Proposal

Statement from Governor Rick Scott on House Passage of Tax Cut Proposal

Posted on January 25, 2018

Governor Rick Scott issued the following statement after the Florida House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted 80-29 in bipartisan support of HB 7001. This bill advances Governor Scott’s proposal for a constitutional amendment requiring a 2/3 supermajority vote by future legislatures to raise any tax or fee. See Governor Scott’s announcement of this proposal HERE.
“I appreciate Speaker Corcoran for his commitment to fighting to make sure it is harder for politicians to raise taxes and fees on hardworking families. When I first announced this proposal, Speaker Corcoran joined me to ensure we do all we can to let families and job creators keep more of their hard-earned money. Today, the Florida House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed this proposal in a bipartisan vote to give Floridians the chance to go to the polls and vote to make it harder for politicians in Tallahassee to raise taxes and fees. I want to thank Speaker Corcoran, Representative Tom Leek and every member who voted on this critical proposal. I look forward to the Senate swiftly voting on the House’s bill.” – Governor Rick Scott
