From March 6, 2008

It was the Senate’s turn today to debate the current round of budget cuts necessary to pass this year’s budget.  Unlike the heated debate that took place on the House floor yesterday, the Senate was able to pass the necessary cuts without much fanfare.

The Space industry was in full force at the Capitol today, as Space Day was celebrated across the halls.  AIF was an active participant sponsoring a breakfast at the Challenger Center for the delegation of industry representatives concerned about the future of Florida’s leadership in the space program.  Presentations on the importance of investing in Florida’s space infrastructure were made to several legislative committees.

In addition, committees of the Taxation & Budget Reform Commission held meetings at the Department of Transportation today.  The full Commission will be in session on Friday.
