"I'm of the opinion that tax breaks are no different than spending. Both have to be considered within the context of the budget," Lee said.

Apparently they have tried to repeal before...I think they will not give up, but try and rework the law more...I thought that repubs aren't for taxes? makes you wonder....

My boss is a State rep here in Florida, when I first saw the story on DSLR months ago I made sure to complain to him about it. Every little bit helps.
