TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Oct. 18, 2007 – The Senate decided Wednesday to ask voters to lower property taxes, but still has to work out differences with the House over details of the plan.

The measure was approved narrowly. Backers of the proposal needed 24 votes to pass it; the vote was 26-11.

The plan would ask voters to amend the constitution to change how property taxes are calculated. A separate bill on when the proposal will go before voters hasn’t been passed yet. Lawmakers are hoping to get the issue on the Jan. 29 ballot.
