Once again, Bill Nelson voted to deny Florida families and businesses the tax cut they have earned and deserve.
Nelson chose his liberal D.C. bosses over Floridians, even though the bill included an amendment which would give Florida citrus growers a much-needed tax cut for trees devastated by citrus disease. It’s a shame that Nelson refuses to support lower taxes for the middle class, higher economic growth and a competitive playing field for Florida businesses. Floridians can’t afford politicians who are more interested in toeing the party line than delivering results.
“Bill Nelson decided to put the partisan demands of D.C. Democrats before the everyday needs of Florida families and the citrus growers this plan would help,” said NRSC Communications Director Katie Martin. “Nelson’s vote against this plan is just the latest example of his bowing to the Washington liberal agenda at the expense of Floridians.”
