TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – Sept. 27, 2007 – The state Wednesday appealed a court ruling removing a property tax-cutting constitutional amendment from the Jan. 29 presidential primary ballot.

Chief Circuit Judge Charles A. Francis of Tallahassee took the Florida Legislature’s amendment off the ballot Monday. He ruled its ballot summary was misleading and inaccurate.
