Dueling Rallies Over Budget Battles

TALLAHASSEE --
As state lawmakers prepare for a marathon legislative session, Floridians angry over budget cuts and politics are also headed to Tallahassee to make sure their voices are heard.

Two rallies are scheduled from both sides of the battle over budget cuts.

On the side supporting a slimmer budget, Florida Tea Party organizers said they will hold a Save Our State Rally on Tuesday to show their support for Gov. Rick Scott.

Also on Tuesday, a coalition of liberal groups against slashing the state budget said it is hosting an Awake the State Rally, also in Tallahassee.

However, over two dozen other Awake the State rallies are scheduled across Florida on Tuesday.
