Fight back


Published February 8, 2004

Tired of paying sales taxes when others don't? Floridians Against Inequities in Rates (FAIR) is collecting signatures in an attempt to put a constitutional amendment on the Nov. 2 ballot.

The amendment would force the Legislature to come clean on special-interest tax exemptions by requiring that each exemption be eliminated unless approved by a three-fifths vote of lawmakers. For more information and a copy of the petition, visit the FAIR Web site at www.fairamendment.com or call 727 772-8233.
