The head of Florida's statewide teachers union Wednesday declared the group's opposition to the new property tax-cutting plan that's on the Jan. 29th ballot, but he said no decision has been made on launching a formal campaign against it.

Florida Education Association President Andy Ford confirmed that i the meantime he intends to keep talking with Gov. Charlie Crist. The governor called Ford about it Tuesday as he began his own campaign urging voters to adopt the proposed constitutional amendment.

The proposal, which the legislature voted Monday to put on the presidential ballot, is estimated to cut property taxes by $12.4 billion over the first five years including $2.7 billion collected for schools.
