Gov. Charlie Crist to unveil at least 4 tax-cut proposals

BY MARC CAPUTO AND STEVE BOUSQUET


Property taxes in Florida have not dropped ''like a rock'' as Gov. Charlie Crist said they would, but he's going to keep trying to make good on a promise made two years ago.

The Republican governor's goals for the spring lawmaking session include no fewer than four separate tax proposals that would go before voters on the 2010 ballot, when Crist himself would be seeking voters' favor as a candidate for reelection as governor or for the U.S. Senate.


The Florida Republican motto: "If at first you fail -- fail, fail again."
