I realize it's Friday evening but please, fellow Florida Kossacks, call your state senator and ask them to vote "no" on SB 1130 and SB 830. Both of these are really bad for Florida's teachers and would:
Put a burdensome 5% tax on not only Florida teachers but all first responders and prison workers. (SB1130)
Silence your voice in how you advocate for students and teachers (SB830)
Stop the Attack On Teachers website, put by the Florida Educators Association (FEA) has a tool to allow you to find your state senator and gives you more information on both these bills, as well as other legislation to hurt Florida teachers.
Once again, I realize this is late on a Friday, but please do what you can to contact your state senator and tell them to vote "no" on SB 1130 and SB 830.
