2009 Legislative Session: Issues to Watch

We're just one week into the 2009 legislative session and, facing an unprecedented budget crisis, legislators are throwing out all sorts of ideas...good, bad and ugly.

Just a few of the proposals: taxing bottled water companies that currently pump our natural resource for free and sell it back to us for $1 a bottle (good); making further cuts to the already strained education budget (bad); raiding the pre-paid college fund to help balance the budget, risking the money families have entrusted to the state to pay for their children's college education (downright ugly).  

Read this article to learn more about what's happening in Tallahassee and how you can take action.

Tell us what you think of these proposals.  Let us know if there are other legislative issues you think CIVIC should be monitoring.  And share ideas you think legislators ought to be considering.
