Today, legislative leaders in the Florida House and Senate have agreed to meet beginning October 3 to work toward cutting over $1 billion from Florida's state budget. In holding a special legislative session from October 3 through October 12, legislators will focus on reducing state spending from the current budget of over $71 billion. The agreement reached today is one step in the right direction.
"We owe it to the citizens of our great state to hold the line on state spending. Families and businesses are going through a tough time, and government must tighten its belt too," said Senator Haridopolos. "We welcome your comments on how we should cut our budget and help grow the economy."
