First, there was one. Then, there wasn't to be one. Then, maybe there would be a shortened one. Then, there was confusion.

Spokeswoman Renee Watters at the Florida Department of Revenue in Tallahassee put the matter of the back-to-school sales-tax holiday to rest: There won't be one this August.

"The Legislature never authorized it," she said.
