The County Council made a wise decision a decade ago; I see no justification to change course.

Sera and I had bought into the notion of tt's not over until it's over. It's over! The Orlando Magic fell to the Boston Celtics, 96-84, in game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
No NBA team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a conference finals, but the Magic seemed so promising with two straight wins over the suddenly vulnerable and aging Celtics, the the veran team bounced back convingly.

Gov. Charlie Crist's weekly (May 28) Notes from the Capitol:
Dear Friends,
With positive indicators beginning to appear in our economy, including increased home sales and consumer confidence, we must continue to keep Florida moving forward.
The budget I signed today focuses our resources on helping families in need and giving Florida businesses incentives and opportunities to expand and create jobs.
