Fishkind Commentary: “Fiscal Cliff” Would Devastate Florida’s Economy

One of the major economic issues this year is what’s being called a “fiscal cliff.” It’s a possible collision of two large economic events that could come to a head late this year: the passage of the federal Budget Control Act and the expiration of the Bush era tax cuts.
