South Florida Sun-Sentinal Voter Guide
What specific goals or priorities would you pursue, if elected?
Jeffrey H. Auslander: I would push for enactment of a State of Florida New Markets Tax Credit bill (which has been introduced by Senator Fasano) in order to piggy-back with the federal program. The state program would also allow state applicants to score additional points with Treasury based upon the ability to leverage or layer state credits on top of the federal alocations. I am also interested in promoting an increase to the Florida Voluntary Clean-Up Tax Credit Program administered by FDEP. Presently, the program has a greater demand for credits than a supply of the credits. The Legislature needs to allocate something more than the $2 million per year that is currently on the books. I would also like to see some sort of tort reform with at least an extension as to the Statute of Limitations as it relates to the litigation resulting from the unraveling of complex business transactions that exceed either four or five year limits currently in place.
