In recent years, the legislature has decided to get lean and mean with the local government appropriation process. Both the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate have strict rules andT regulations regarding local municipalities receiving State funds.

THE SUN RISES ON THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE: THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON OPEN LEGISLATIVE MEETINGS THOMAS Ross McSwAN* URING the 1989 and 1990 legislative sessions, the Florida Legis- lature fundamentally changed the way the public's business is conducted. This change resulted from a growing willingness of the Legislature to open its meetings to the public, particularly those meet- ings where the most important legislative decisions are made. The impetus for a more open Legislature came in the aftermath of the now-defunct sales tax on services (services tax).' During considera- tion of the services tax in April 1987,2 key legislators and gubernato- rial aides met secretly at a pizza and beer party in a lobbyist's Tallahassee townhouse to iron out the final details of the tax.' The public's reaction both to the tax and to the way it was adopted was fast and furious.
