Florida Matters “Florida Budget 2007-2008” (May 25, 2007)

 
Florida's state budget could mean cuts for local governments.
This year's Florida state budget will likely mean significant cuts for local governments.

Turkeys… we usually find them on our dinner tables around the holidays, but when a turkey finds its way into the state budget, it’s in the governor’s sights for a line item veto. This week we look at the 2007 Florida Budget with our guests:

Harvey Bennett, Vice President of Communications and Marketing for Florida Tax Watch

Al Frederick, Executive director of
Centro Asturiano de Tampa

State Representative Bill Galvano, Republican of Bradenton, and Chair of the Bay Area Legislative Delegation

  Join WUSF's Carson Cooper for Florida Matters Friday evening at 6:30 pm, and Saturday at Noon, on WUSF 89.7, your NPR Station.
