Florida TaxWatch turkey list takes aim at NSB Old Fort, Woman s Club funding Mark Harper, The Daytona Beach News-Journal © News-Journal file Kids play in the ruins of Old Fort Park in New Smyrna Beach. The Florida Legislature has approved $900,000 to stabilize and refurbish the fort.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH The Old Fort ruins and the Woman s Club of New Smyrna, two downtown historical gems funded in the state budget, are among the veto targets of a prominent Tallahassee research organization.
Florida TaxWatch has targeted the New Smyrna Beach projects among 116 appropriations worth $157.5 million as budget turkeys. TaxWatch, a nonpartisan government watchdog organization funded by business interests, has prepared a budget turkey list annually since 1986.
Kurt Wenner, senior vice president of research at Florida TaxWatch, explained the sprinkle lists and his concern about them during a news conference in Tallahassee on Monday.
“The sprinkle list, or what the Legislature calls the supplemental funding list, happens at the very end of the budget conference. Basically after they’ve closed out the budget, they can look and see we might have some money left over, Wenner said.
Sprinkle lists might involve adding money to projects that already are in the budget, or adding projects that had been ranked high in a budget process but didn t quite make the cut. TaxWatch objects to adding new projects that aren t discussed or read.
