This is really sad. The government doesn't realize that with tax gone retailers are making massive amounts of money at the same time, from the parents, children, etc. They all buy in large amounts, while stores cash in on a large profit, saving parents and the like a large amount of money. If anything there should be compensations for the Floridians living at the bottom of the freakin state for the idea of a four hour trip to georgia or the like will put them in a hole that will never be filled in. If Florida's government can relax in the Caribbean and such and buy anything they want either because they have the money, or the tax is null because of their position they must understand that there are people (such as I) that need this tax free week to make ends meet. What's even more angering is that boycotting would really pinch their noses, but in retaliation prices would go up from loss of consumers and school supplies would never be bought. Whatever Mcallister says this is NOT a win-win situation its more of a lose-win situation. The legislation is winning and reaping the glories of not inducing the tax-free week and we lost for that burns a hole into every Floridian's wallet

P.S. IF a petition is created against the government then im all to willing to sign it. The legislation will get off the arse's and get back into session or....else.
