Buzz: Port of Pensacola funds survive veto

My Tallahassee sources tell me that the Port of Pensacola did not have its funds in the state budget vetoed by Gov. Rick Scott. Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, had gotten in the state budget $2 million for upgrading the port to better attract business and create more jobs for the area. Huge victory for Mayor Ashton Hayward and the Greater Pensacola Chamber.
