Quote of the Day

"Yachts! The Florida Legislature is going to pass a new tax break for buying luxury yachts and private airplanes.

"Let's hope this passes in the same year that the Legislature hurts the K-12 schools, guts the universities, makes it harder for Floridians to vote, drains the Lawton Chiles tobacco trust, kills Florida Forever, weakens wetlands protection, repeals a quarter-century of growth management law, deregulates the telephone companies and tries to paper over the indictment of the immediate past speaker of the House of Representatives and a damning grand jury investigation."

Howard Troxler, on the priorities of the Florida legislature.
