RLC at the Capitol, March 25-26

          Join us for two days in Tallahassee to meet with dozens of legislators, including the leadership of both houses and the governor's office, as part of the RLCFL's annual grass roots lobbying trip.

          In 2008, our chief legislative goal is the passage of the Taxpayer Protection Amendment (TPA), which would limit the increase in spending -- by both the state and counties -- to the growth in inflation and population, a recipe for restraint that would have prevented the current spending crisis and will prevent the next one.  The TPA has made it successfully through two subcommittees of the Taxation and Budget Reform Commission and is headed for the final hearing and vote on March 26. The RLC will be there; join us!

The RLC has the opportunity to play a decisive role in the fate of the Taxpayer Protection Amendment. Join us!

          The two days will be kicked off by noon property tax reform rally on March 25 in the courtyard in front of the Capitol.  Then, we have meetings with legislators in the afternoon. In the evening, there will be a state RLC meeting and legislative briefing at the Best Western on Apalachee Parkway near the Capitol. One highlight 0f the meeting will be the kickoff of the new Tallahassee RLC Meetup group.

          On March 26, we will begin the day with more legislative meetings and then attend the TBRC hearing on the TPA.

          The RLC has the opportunity to play a decisive role in the fate of the TPA, just as it did in our Kelo and term limits efforts of previous sessions (scroll down for stories). Please join us; you do not have to be a member of the RLC to participate.

          This is a great opportunity for new RLC members and friends to meet each other, veteran RLCers and the state RLC leadership on a fun and productive trip.
