Three plans to offer Floridians a tax break this summer, failed. This is the first time in nearly a decade the state won’t offer a back-to-school tax holiday. In the past Floridians enjoyed cheaper prices on items to harden their homes. This year a plan for a hurricane preparedness tax break was blown away. The state will also continue to tax gas this summer. A plan to cut the gas tax by ten cents this summer ran out of fuel. Representative Marti Coley sponsored the back-to-school tax break.

“We will feel it and I think we will feel it immediately. There is definitely a crunch and we all know that and the need and the necessity to give all families a tax break, I think is extremely important. It’s a big disappointment,” said Coley.

Lawmaker cited a four billion dollar shortfall as the reason for not passing the relieve plans.
