The Florida Legislature is flush with good ideas. Sen. Al Lawsons latest involves a way to pay for wastewater treatment and help small towns and counties upgrade their sewer systems.
The Democrat from Tallahassee is proposing a 2-cent-per-roll tax on toilet paper.
Weve got 17 million people in this state and all of them can contribute to protecting our underground water supply, he said.
In a Republican-dominated Legislature that doesnt like new taxes, the idea could end up in the tank pretty quickly.
Senate President Tom Lee said he didnt think it would get too far, but didnt rule it out. Well be getting to the bottom of it real soon, he said.
