February 2018
> continued from page 6
it's a high-stakes election year, so the annual battle
of the budget could have greater significance in
2018. Scott has proposed an $87.4 billion spending
plan for next year, the biggest ever and much more
than Florida can afford, House leaders say. The Leg-
islature's economists warn that revenues face
intense pressure from the costs of hurricane recov-
ery.
Education: It's often the No. 1 policy issue at the
Capitol and the focus of many budget battles, too.
This year, the Senate will seek permanent changes
to expand Bright Futures scholarships, state colleges
will try to fend off more budget cuts, and the House
will push to let students who get bullied transfer to
private schools. The House also remains opposed to
Scott and the Senate, who want to use growth in
property values to pay for increased school spend-
ing.
Hurricanes: Mandatory backup generators at
nursing homes, and tax breaks for them. Larger
storm-ready stockpiles of food, fuel, water and ice.
