While privatizing prisons. [ link to www.tcpalm.com]
Gov. Rick Scott's proposed budget sets the tone for top-to-bottom cuts in 2011, from scaling back public pensions and education, to privatizing correctional facilities and merging a number of state departments.
Under Scott's plans for education funding, Treasure Coast districts would receive 8 to 10 percent less money per-student, and schools statewide would see at least $3.3 billion less from the state than this year.
Scott's budget would lower corporate income tax from 5 to 3.3 percent by January 2012
Organizations that provide local "safety net" services — basic needs programs for the poor, elderly, youth and other at-risk groups — are feeling pressures of potential cuts from the state.Negron, chair of the Senate's Health and Human Services Appropriations subcommittee, has called for $1.5 billion in cuts from his committee's budget. Florida is about to get fucked up the ass. Well they could do like wisconsin raise the taxes so high that companies left the state. Then their tax base got worse yet. When you lower it like this there is a bit of short fall but soon the state will rake in more taxes from increases in companies in the state.
