And the Senate approved a $69.4 billion version.

By: Kevin Derby | Posted: March 25, 2010 (All day)

Looks like Republican leaders are backing Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Ft. Lauderdale, over Rep.

Joe Negron, R-Stuart, Sen. Andy Gardiner, R-Orlando, and Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, have all come out behind Bogdanoff … Score one more for the Victory Group.
