"Consider the idea of a measured-and-temporary change that raises the state sales tax 1 cent for the next three years.

Such an increase would barely affect individuals making more than $100,000 a year. For those earning less than $25,000, the impact would be about $150 per year. However, the forthcoming federal tax cuts combined with the expenditures that are part of the federal stimulus package would offset that negative impact, rendering it relatively minimal across the board for all Floridians". -Florida State University President T.K. WETHERELL

Whether you agree with T.K. or not, the option to do nothing is no longer an option. We have to take action for our education system, communities, and for Florida's children. If you were Governor, what would your solution be to the education crisis?
