INTRODUCTION Citizens for Fairness in Florida!
Gasoline Retailers Association of Florida supports passage of Non-Participating Manufacturers (NPM) Fee Legislation on cigarettes in the Florida Legislature

Welcome to Citizens for Fairness in Florida, an association of manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, statewide associations and organizations and individual Floridians committed to Improving Florida’s future – and doing our part to help

We all know Florida is facing a serious budget shortfall… and we’re running out of time to close the gap. But did you know that with a simple piece of legislation, Florida’s government could close an unintended legal loophole and bring in millions of much-needed dollars for Medicare? This year, we are urging the passage of Non-Participating Manufacturers (NPM) Fee Legislation on cigarettes in the Florida Legislature.

Most tobacco companies that do business in Florida make payments to the State for healthcare costs – but not all. By passing this legislation, this loophole in the state’s tobacco payment system will be closed and Florida could collect more than $175 million a year for health care.

With costs rising, Florida can’t afford to let millions of health care dollars slip through its fingers.

This column is for independent gasoline dealers and station owners

First,
in order to keep Below Cost law in Florida, it takes a lot of time, money and a strong association to fight the challenges to stop the repeal of the Motor Fuels Marketing Practices Act (Below Cost) from the likes of Wal-Mart, Murphy Oil etc every year.
Our legislators in Tallahassee especially the newly elected ones have to be informed of the benefits that the Motor Fuels Marketing Practices Act (Below Cost) provides.
Florida has one of the lowest pre tax gasoline prices in the nation due to competition from thousands of independent gasoline stations. The repeal of Below Cost will eliminate independent gasoline stations through predatory pricing by the Big Boxers, Hypermarketers and Oil Companies and less competition will encourage high gasoline prices.

Second,
the independent gasoline station dealers and owners who do not belong to an association (Gasoline Retailers Association
of Florida) should support the association as members to continue the benefits of the independent gasoline stations. There is no free ride. For information contact Pat Moricca @ 407-774-9700.
Your voice in Tallahassee is very important to our elected officials informing them information about our industry. You can be sure Costco, Wal-Mart, Sams Club, Publix, Albertsons, BJ’s etc., and the Oil Companies are feeding them information.

Any eligible businessman or woman, who joins, and participates in on-going programs, will find that his/her savings in overhead costs will more than justify the dues that each member pays. Membership does not cost, it pays.
