Statement by RPOF Chairman Jim Greer on Special Session Conclusion

Tallahassee—Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer released the following statement today regarding the conclusion of the Special Session:

“The Florida Legislature has made some very tough decisions over the past few days, but under the leadership of Governor Crist and Republicans in the House and Senate, Florida’s lawmakers stood firmly against any new taxes on Florida’s families and businesses. Republicans believe the best way to get our economy back on track is to put more money back in consumers’ pockets, not force them to pay more in taxes. Though the challenges facing our state are immense, I am proud of the Legislature’s work to cut the budget and protect taxpayers while ensuring that we continue to provide services to the state’s most vulnerable citizens. “
