The Tallahassee Democrat reports, "Public libraries cut for sixth year."
It defies understanding why Mr. Bush, who is admirably called "the education governor," has vetoed a $2.2 million appropriation for Florida public libraries. ..."In an apparent time of plenty, it is unfortunate that libraries were such an easy place to go to trim what is now the largest state budget in Florida history: $73.9 billion. The $2.2 million is a drop in the bucket; another drop was the $1.8 million eliminated for online tutoring services through public libraries."
