REGION OF FLORIDA, INCLUDING SOUTH FLORIDA, WITH ITS FAIR
SHARE OF STATE FUNDING; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE

WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature recently approved a state budget for fiscal
year 2008/2009 of approximately $66 billion; and
WHEREAS, the state's fiscal year 2008!2009 budget cut approximately $5
billion from the previous year's budget of more than $71 billion, a decrease of over 7
percent; and
WHEREAS, a study by the Miami Herald concluded that the residents of Broward
and Miami-Dade Counties pay in excess of $7.15 billion in tax revenues to the State of
Florida annually, but only received $6.69 billion in return, resulting in a difference of
$460 million, equaling $144 for every adult in these two counties; and
