State Senate OK's $1 cigarette-tax increase
With a 39-0 vote, the state Senate overcomes the anti-tax mantra and passes a historic increase in the state's cigarette tax.
TALLAHASSEE -- The Florida Senate unanimously voted Thursday to raise the state cigarette tax $1 per pack in an historic vote on a bill that two years ago couldn't even get a hearing.
The 39-0 vote came despite intense lobbying from Big Tobacco, a stinging letter of disapproval from Republican anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist, and obvious opposition from both the governor and House Republicans.
