The governor said he vetoed the legislation, in part, "because of the process by which it passed. This … sped through committees without meaningful input" from teachers, parents and administrators.

"Sometimes stated goals do not match the words of the bill," Crist said. "I find the content of Senate Bill 6 and the manner of its adoption significantly flawed."

The bill would require school districts develop teacher evaluations that rely mostly on how students perform on standardized tests. Districts would be prohibited from basing teacher pay on advanced degrees or years served. New teachers would be hired under probationary contracts that would allow termination without cause for the first years of service.

Keep up the work Floridians, we can make a difference .

5. Crist may be the best "democratic" gov Florida ever had

I remember when he mandated the switch to optical scan/paper ballots
and instructed new SOS to make sure there that Florida not be a source of election foul ups again.

11. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, is a Republican.

and Hopefully he will not get re-elected.
The last Dem Gov. we had was Gov. Buddy MacKay
in 1998.
