The $440 million was left on the table because there were many strings attached to it. Florida would in the end pay more interest on this money plus eventually the Federal Government would take over the unemployment  compensation program . The Federal Government would then dictate how we run the program and how much we owe. The Legislature did the right thing!

I think  the Legislature was wrong in increasing car and truck registration by 35%. Legislators will definitely hear this back home.

Finally,try being a Legislator for 2 months and not have everyone back home mad at you because you had to cut the budget by $6 billion. It's impossible.
