Turkey Watch Report 2011
Governor Vetoes Nearly 90% of Florida TaxWatch's Turkey Dollars FY2011
The Florida TaxWatch annual Turkey Watch spotlights legislative projects
placed in the budget without proper opportunity for public review and
debate, which circumvent lawfully established procedures, or which noncompetitively
benefit a very limited special interest or local area of the
state. The “budget turkey” label does not condemn a project’s
worthiness, but instead focuses on the budget process, including instances
where the Legislature has not followed its own policies and procedures to
ensure the highest standards of accountability and government efficiency.
I strongly urge any and all concerned Floridians to pay attention to what this group does to keep an eye on our hard-earned tax dollars!
