The Associated Press has a wrap-up of the Florida legislative session. The Republicans used cleavers instead of scalpels to cut $5 billion in spending from the budget, a third of a billion dollars lopped off the education budget.

Oh, they cut their piddling part-time salaries by 5%, BFD.

If your business is dependent on low tax rates, it isn’t strong enough to survive, so put it down and save your money.
