The initiative proposes a new constitutional amendment and is aimed at the November 2008 Florida ballot. However, as of late December 2007, no signatures had been filed, so it is unlikely that it will make the ballot.
Wording for the initiative was filed by Sean Concannon, who is the chairperson of the sponsoring organization, End Corporate Welfare.
611,009 valid signatures will be required in order for the initiative to make the ballot.
Objective of the initiative:
Prohibits the State and its political subdivisions from transferring tax revenue or granting tax reductions of any type to private business of any description, with exceptions of purchases of property, goods or services, and the payment of damages and costs. Allows individuals to bring enforcement actions in court. Eliminates the selective tax treatment of particular businesses or classes of businesses.
