'War in Tallahassee': DeSantis, Florida lawmakers battle over tax proposals
- Florida lawmakers and Governor DeSantis are debating how to address the rising cost of living at the state Capitol.
- The debate stems from differing proposals for tax relief, causing a struggle between the governor and House Speaker Daniel Perez.
- The House passed HB7031 on April 9, which would reduce the state sales tax from 6% to 5.25%, while the Senate is considering SB7034.
- Representative Caruso stated, "If we're going to have any tax cut, any reduction of our budget, those benefits should go straight to Floridians."
- With the legislative session ending on May 2, a compromise is needed, though neither the House nor Senate versions may pass.
