Alex Sink

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL – Alex Sink didn’t rule out proposing a state income tax as a way to pay for the $12.5 billion in new spending she includes in her economic plan.

During Monday night’s statewide CBS debate, Rick Scott questioned Alex Sink on how she will pay for the $12.5 billion dollars in spending she proposes in her economic plan. Scott asked “What tax does she have to raise? She’s already backed taxes in payroll and sales and cable and water. Is she going to have to propose an income tax?”

Unable to provide a clear answer, Alex Sink first claimed that she would not support any tax increases then immediately said she would consider an internet sales tax down the road. “But, down the road, as I work with the legislature on many of these issues of fairness, we do have to address the fairness issue because our local retailers are very disadvantaged on the sales tax issues…”

Rick Scott spokesman Trey Stapleton said “This is another prime example of Alex Sinks failure to provide Floridians with a clear plan that will turn the state around. If you believe Sink’s Obama math, you can increase spending without providing a way to pay for it. You don’t have to be a 4.0 math major to know that the only way you can pay for these proposals without cutting spending is through increased taxation or federal stimulus money. Both fit into Sink’s liberal ideology.”

I am a registered Republician. The worst thing we can do for Law Enforcement is back Scott! he is a thief and stole 1.7 billion from his medicare insurance fraud scam. At least Sink backs LEOS . She just needs to surround herself with those who will move LEOS in the right direction not fluff like she had. Scott will have all State Pension LEOS paying into the pension. We are the lowest paid in the State and he wants more. He is DANGEROUS for all LEOS in Florida.

I hope we all back SINK !

please, she hates cops like she hates unwanted black babies. loves abortion, even the black churches in Miami hate her.
