Education Group Wrote Fla. Law to Protect Its Corporate Aid - State Watch - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

Education Group Wrote Fla. Law to Protect Its Corporate Aid - State Watch - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: A new Florida law expanding corporate tax breaks for contributions to a scholarship program was drafted by the nonprofit group that offers the student aid, says The Florida Times-Union.

Step Up for Students, in Tampa, composed and submitted the bill to Republican state Rep. Mike Horner, who subsequently asked the organization to break down each provision in the measure on a “cheat sheet” so he “would not embarrass myself or you” in legislative debates, according to e-mails reviewed by the Jacksonville newspaper.
