Welcome to

Successful Session or Not? 

Governor Rick Scott is giving lawmakers a less than subtle hint they can expect their pet projects vetoed or worse if they fail to deliver on the twenty-five hundred dollar across the board pay raise he has made his top priority. Lawmakers want raises distributed based on merit. While Scott doesn’t use the veto word, his meaning isn’t being lost.

“We need to continue to improve our education system. Reward our teachers, respect our teachers. They’ve done a great job. So, I’ve got my priorities; they have theirs and I hope we’ll have a successful session” Scott told reporters.

Lawmakers have to wrap up their budget negotiations before next Tuesday to have an on time adjournment  at the end of next week.
