Burnt Orange Report - Hochberg Amendment Passes!!!
Hot damn ... the Democratic-backed Hochberg Amendment passes in the House 76-67. The amendment triples the homestead exemption, which is the exact opposite direction the state GOP had been trying to steer property tax cuts.
Kudos, Scott ... maybe all that talk for Lt. Gov may actually come in handy after all. If anyone knows where Scott can locate $10 million for a statewide run, let the world know.

Well, not so fast now, you didn't think the Big C was gonna let that fly did you? Now it's dead again.
Yes, but the votes are there for a victory and we know it. From here on out, it's only a matter of time.
Give me a choice of a win based on actual votes and a win based on finessing the rules, and I'll take the path with the votes everytime.
