How do you spell relief?

Friday July 30, 2004
G-a-s t-a-x c-u-t! Motorists who stop at the pump in Florida during August will get an eight-cent a gallon break due to Florida's Motor Fuel Relief Act of 2004. Governor Jeb Bush and the Florida Legislature approved Florida's first-ever Gas Tax Cut to give residents a break and encourage tourism. The month-long tax cut is expected to save taxpayers $59.7 million. Factors beyond the State's control may continue to cause gasoline prices to go up or down since Florida's tax on gasoline is only one of the many factors that affect the price you pay at the pump.
It's not a huge savings, but I'm going to take advantage of the tax cut and plan a few day trips during August. How about joining me!
