With the high price of travel these days. many people are postponing their vacations or staying near their homes for recreation. Also. with interest rates soaring. new housing starts are at an alltime low in Florida. And the refugee crisis has added to the financial burdens of many local governments. Although extra Federal expenditures are helping to pay some costs. local governments in Florida are still bearing much of the burden of our Federal refugee policy. These and other costs are pushing up local expenditures faster than tax revenues are increasing. Not long ago. we agreed to a budget resolution that continued the local share. but deleted the State share of revenue sharing.
