Hogan prompts tax panel to delay cap plan

TALLAHASSEE - The state's tax commission was expected to take final action Wednesday on a proposal to cap state and local taxes, fees and other revenue, but its sponsor asked that the vote be delayed.

The commission had been scheduled to consider some changes Duval County Tax Collector Mike Hogan and others have proposed for the measure, known as the Taxpayer Protection Amendment, and then vote on it, but Hogan asked for the commission to postpone a decision on whether the measure should go on the November ballot so that it could be modified.

The panel, though, heard testimony Wednesday from citizens, nearly all in favor of the tax cap, including a large contingent from Hogan's county.
