The Florida Legislature passed a $71 billion budget Friday, but as the hour of adjournment neared, lawmakers appeared unable to agree on how to keep homeowners from getting hit with fearsome rate hikes for hurricane insurance.

Another proposal left hanging: whether to give the Florida Marlins a $60 million tax subsidy to help the team build a new retractable-roof stadium. The Marlins have threatened to leave South Florida if they don't get a new stadium.

Legislators agreed on the one bill they are required by the state Constitution to pass before they can leave Tallahassee: the state budget. The spending plan, nearly 13 percent higher than the current year's budget, doles out plenty of cash for education, healthcare and affordable housing.

They also decided to kill a proposed constitutional amendment that they had placed on the November ballot. Fearful of angering voters in an election year, they withdrew a measure that would have asked voters to extend term limits to 12 years from the current eight.

The proposal that passed will force political organizations to disclose more information about their financing and who runs them. It will also require a legislator, Cabinet member or candidate who sets up such a group to notify the state when soliciting money and to list all its contributors on the Internet.
