TALLAHASSEE — Backers of Florida's professional sports franchises are mounting a drive in the waning moments of this year's session of the Florida Legislature to help out three teams and Daytona International Speedway.

The proposals would cost the state $255 million and would be paid out over the next two to three decades.
