WHAT HATH FLORIDA WROUGHT?.... Atrios joked the other day that Floridians "elected Lex Luthor as their governor." That's a good line, in large part because it's hard not to wonder if Florida's new chief executive is some sort of super-villain.
At a highly partisan tea-party event on Monday, Gov. Rick Scott unveiled his first budget proposal, one that makes sweeping changes to state government by slashing billions in taxes and spending.
Scott proposed spending almost $66 billion -- $4.6 billion less than this year's budget. Scott also wants to eliminate 7 percent of the state's government jobs, which would mean about 6,700 state-worker layoffs. He wants even more cuts the following year.
