Family First fuels church-state debate
The Round Table on Social & Welfare Policy reports:
A Tampa group that promotes healthy families would be the first of its kind allowed to ask Florida drivers to donate money under a little-noticed bill headed to the governor.
Critics, some of whom contend that the group is faith-based, say the proposed law sets a bad precedent and raises constitutional questions.
Family First, whose supporters include former Gov. Jeb Bush and Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, would be the only group listed on drivers’ licenses and car tag renewal forms that’s not involved in public health, safety or wildlife protection.
The bill adds Family First to the forms, which allow motorists to donate $1 to specific causes . . .
