2014 Florida TaxWatch Turkey Report2
The 2014 Budget Turkey Report is the result of an annual independent review by Florida TaxWatch of Florida’s proposed budget before the Governor exercises his line-item veto power. The Report protects and enhances the integrity of
the state’s budgeting system, based on the principle that money appropriated by the Legislature belongs to the taxpayers of Florida, therefore the process must be transparent and accountable, and every appropriation should receive deliberation and debate.
The budget review identifies appropriations that circumvent transparency and accountability standards in public budgeting. Each appropriation is scrutinized against a set of standardized criteria established by Florida TaxWatch.
Each year, the Budget Turkey Report consists of only a very small percentage of the state budget, and this year represent less than one-quarter of one percent. The $77.1 billion budget passed by the Florida House and Senate on May 2, 2014 contains approximately $120 million in appropriations qualifying as Budget Turkeys.
WHAT IS A TURKEYBudget Turkeys are individual line-items that are appropriated without being subject to a thoughtful and thorough budget process. The “Budget Turkey” label does not signify judgment of a project’s worthiness. Instead, the review focuses on the Florida budget process, and the purpose of the “Budget Turkey” label is to ensure that all appropriations using public funds are subject to scrutiny.
The 2014 Budget Turkey Report consists largely of appropriations to specific non-state recipients or local governments. Awarding contracted services to specific providers and specifying narrow geographic locations bypasses competitive bidding and agency input into budget areas where limited funds are needed most.

2014 Florida TaxWatch Turkey Report 3
CRITERIAThe Florida TaxWatch Budget Turkey criteria are clearly defined. Appropriations must violate sound budgeting practices in at least one of these ways to be designated as a Budget Turkey.
A project that circumvents established review and selection processes or has completed the established process but is funded ahead of higher priority projects (as determined by the selection process).1
Appropriations that are inserted in the budget during conference committee meetings, meaning they did not appear in either of the final Senate or House budgets.
Appropriations from inappropriate trust funds; duplicative appropriations; and appropriations contingent on legislation that did not pass.
THE pURpoSE of THE bUdgET TURKEY REpoRT Florida TaxWatch identifies Budget Turkeys to promote transparency in public budgeting, encourage meaningful legislative review of all appropriations, and facilitate the checks and balances within the budget process that are granted by the Constitution.
1. Promote transparency in public budgeting
Projects first appearing in the budget process during conference are identified by Florida TaxWatch to expose the lack of transparency that occurs during the conference process. Projects that are added during conference are added to the budget without public debate, scrutiny, or legislative vote—even by those Legislators who sit on the conference committees.
2. Encourage meaningful legislative review of all appropriations
All appropriations should be subject to adequate public review, debate, and scrutiny, which requires that all legislators review proposed appropriations. When projects are added during conference, they have bypassed the normal appropriations subcommittee and committee process. The only legislators that have the ability to publicly vet these expenditures to any degree are those who sit on conference committees, shielding those appropriations from scrutiny by every member.
1 Examples of projects that have an established budget review process include: the transportation work program, education
facilities construction (PECO), local parks (FRDAP), aquaculture, beach renourishment; and historical preservation, arts and
cultural grants.
The annual Budget Turkey Report spotlights legislative
projects placed in the budget without proper opportunity for public
review and debate...
2014 Florida TaxWatch Turkey Report4
After the conference process, the full legislative body cannot adjust individual appropriations, they can only vote the entire budget up or down. Because the relative amount of total appropriations added in conference is such a small percentage of the Florida budget, few, if any, lawmakers will vote the budget down because of projects added in conference.
3. Facilitate the checks and balances within the budget process that are granted by the Florida Constitution
The Florida Governor’s line-item veto power is a protection afforded by the Florida Constitution as one of the checks and balances that allow for proper distribution of power in state government. However, another crucial element is the right and responsibility of Florida taxpayers to hold their elected officials accountable for budgeting decisions. Though all budget documents are available to the public, the complicated budget process creates a barrier that prevents all taxpayers from understanding this information. The Budget Turkey Report is intended to show taxpayers the result of this complicated process, where not all decisions are made in the sunshine.
obSERvATIonS on THE 2014 bUdgET pRocESSAs the eyes and ears of Florida’s taxpayers, Florida TaxWatch staff attended every appropriations subcommittee meeting, every appropriations meeting, and each budget conference meeting of the 2014 Florida Legislature. While appropriations issues were generally questioned and debated in subcommittee and committee hearings, most conference committee meetings lasted less than 20 minutes (often much shorter) and included no questions or debate. More often than not, the only individuals speaking during these conference committee meetings were the subcommittee and committee chairs, who accepted budget offers after committee staff read them aloud—usually with no explanation.
The lack of transparency within these conference committee meetings should be a clarion call for increased accountability in Florida’s budgeting process. For example, though conference committee meetings are required to have a one-hour meeting notice, materials were usually unavailable to the public until after the meeting already began, or in many cases, not until the meeting had concluded. The meetings offered no opportunity for public testimony and several were held after 11 p.m., even on weekend evenings.
2014 Florida TaxWatch Turkey Report 5
During these brief and largely symbolic meetings, the state budget grew by $1.8 billion over the total appropriated by the House budget and by $2.2 billion over the Senate budget. New projects were added during the conference, and were often mentioned during the reading of an offer, but were not always noted as being new. Sometimes these projects were not even mentioned. Virtually no new issues were explained, discussed, questioned or debated.
As was the case last year, at the end of the conference, just before the budget was finalized, two supplemental funding lists totaling $329 million were introduced. These lists, one from the House and one from the Senate, contained increased funding for existing items and many new items that were not part of either the House or Senate budget contained in any of the previous conference offers. Much of the funding was recurring, making it more likely the projects would continue to be funded in the future.
These lists were not read and no project was mentioned. It was only mentioned that each chamber had an available supplemental funding list, and the supplemental lists were then accepted by the corresponding chair without debate.
This is not meant to condemn the budget conference process. Every dollar and every word in the budget must be agreed upon by both chambers. Such a process is probably a necessity, for without some negotiation or discussion behind closed doors, the budget would likely be very difficult to finish. Further, legislators and appropriations staff work very hard for incredibly long hours—including nights and weekends—to reach a budget compromise.
But decisions are still made behind closed doors. Due to this lack of open public debate, the conference should be used exclusively to compromise when the two chambers disagree on funding levels and to decide whether an item funded by only one chamber should be included in the final state budget. This should not be the time to fund new items, particularly funding that goes to a specified private entity or narrow geographic location.
Budgeting Without discipline
Just as the Rule of Law is critically essential in a civil society, so is the integrity, transparency and accountability of the budget process to ensure the highest and best use of the taxpayers’ hard earned money.

WHAT coULd THE TURKEYS bUY?To best contextualize the cost of the 2014 Budget Turkeys, their cost can be applied to critical needs projects and other budget priorities designed to help taxpayers during the 2014 Session. The following is what the $120 million appropriated for this year’s Budget Turkeys could have purchased if applied in other areas of the state budget:
Increase the Tax Credit Scholarship: Fund an additional 24,590 students to receive the Tax Credit Scholarship, increasing the number of students receiving scholarships under the program to 84, 590.
Help Unclog the State Courts: Provide 1,560 new positions in the state court system to reduce backlog and ensue more swift justice.
Reduce the Home and Community Based Services Waitlist: Provide Waiver services for 4,107 more individuals with developmental disabilities who are currently on a Waiver Waitlist through the Agency for Persons with Disabilities.
State Employee Raises: Provide a $1,048 raise for each of the state’s 114,481 state employees.
Increase Per-Student Funding: Increase per student funding under the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) by 3.24 percent in FY 2014-15, rather than the 2.61 percent increase provided by the Legislature in this budget.
A 1 percent reduction in the Communications Services Tax.
A reduction of one-third of 1 percent in the Corporate Income Tax rate.
“Public money ought to be touched with the most scrupulous conscientiousness of honor. It is not the produce of riches
only, but of the hard earnings of labor and poverty.”
