State budget crisis

Psst, when we look at the state $71-plus billion budget, remember Gov. Charlie Crist cut a record $459 million from it using his line item veto power. Rep. Murzin, Ford and Evers, along with Sen. Peaden and Gaetz, would rather us overlook that. It’s much more fun picking on local governments.

The truth is all government – local, state and federal – has ballooned under Republican control. There is a big difference between talking like a Reagan conservative and actually being one. Unfortunately few know what it is.
