VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION

Floridas Supreme Court ruled that Cortes broke the law when he
decided to quit and go home rather than pass a budget.1

CRUSHING TAXES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

Cortes failure to pass a budget sticks Floridas businesses

with $1,200 a year in taxes per employee, making it harder
to create jobs.2

COSTING FLORIDA FAMILIES BILLIONS

By failing to act, Cortes is forcing Floridians to pay

billions to federal programs and receive nothing in return.3
