Florida Legislature rejects pleas for tax breaks - Legislature - MiamiHerald.com: "Legislators rejected calls to lengthen an abbreviated session by taking up an idea to bring economic assistance to the Panhandle.

TALLAHASSEE -- When Florida's legislators quickly gaveled in and gaveled out their special session Tuesday, they also walked away from an opportunity to deliver tax breaks and economic relief to businesses struggling in the oil-ravaged regions of the state.
House Speaker Larry Cretul and Senate President Jeff Atwater instead promised to convene meetings over the next month then call themselves back for another special session in late August or early September.
``There is nothing we can do this week to improve the situation more than we could in September,'' Cretul told the House before it voted 67-44 to adjourn."
