From what I have read/heard==this new governor has history of borderline criminal behavior in business so I don't know how he could get elected anyway
but seems he wants to privatize any aspect of government he can get away with

the Tampa board has thread about that county losing 60 million for schools in proposed budget
what about Sarasota?

Don't get me started about Scott. This the latest info I know about what he's doing (or not doing) for education: Gov. Rick Scott's proposed education budget: $1.75 billion in cuts

I haven't heard a breakdown of what each county will specifically lose.

but this is still just proposed legislation--
so people still have chance to influcence their legislators

FL needs to check the voting status of every person who is a snowbird--
I bet all of them are voting in both states which is illegal to do

The latest I've read is that Sarasota County School District would be cut an estimated $36 million for the 2011-2012 budget plus $27.5 million in stimulus funds will no longer be available. The district is supposedly considering options to cut costs such as employee contributions to healthcare coverage, rerouting buses to cut transportation costs and yes, eliminating positions.
