On Tuesday, Democrats will hold “Awake the State” rallies across Florida and in Tallahassee to mark day one of the legislative session. And tea party people will be there, too.
According to press reports, the tea party contingent is being bused in by a familiar name:
On one side will be the tea party, a disparate group of antigovernment activists who want lawmakers to pass Gov. Rick Scott’s plan to eliminate 6,700 jobs, cut property taxes and phase out the corporate income tax.
With an assist from Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-brothers supported small government group, tea party activists plan to bus about 2,000 protesters here to do what is rarely done in Tallahassee: lobby for less money from government.
