With Republicans controlling supermajorities in both chambers of the Florida Legislature, passing the budget should have been simple.

Of all the wrap-ups I have read of the train wreck the session devolved into yesterday, yours is the only one to include a portion of Dennis Jones' incredibly condescending rant towards the House. I was stunned as I listened to it in its entirety; ridiculously and unnecessarily mean. De-reg may have started the downward spiral, but Jones accelerated it to its crash. He should be ashamed of himself, and Senator Haridopolos should not be held responsible for Jones' rant.
