Crist endorses Fla. space funding bills

Gov. Charlie Crist has endorsed legislation to assist new and expanding space businesses in Florida.

Crist threw his support Thursday to a pair of bills (HB 696, SB 1776) that would expand the types of projects funded with sales taxes generated mainly by Kennedy Space Center visitor complexes.

Current law earmarks $14.5 million for improvements at a single launch complex. The bills would allow the state's space agency, Space Florida, to also use that money for other projects that would attract new business to Florida.
