Notes For Monday, March 24, 2003

It's The Tax Cut's, Stupid - "Painful reality: Tax cuts bleed Florida budget dry".

Graham - "Foley can't make case" against Graham, says the Palm Beach Post. In the meantime, the GOP house organ is annoyed that Graham can take a run for the Dem nomination and, failing that, still keep his Senate seat out of GOP hands.

Lies and Broken Promises - "How would you feel if your boss changed the rules without consulting you, then reneged on a big part of the deal? A lot of state employees will be asking each other something like that, as shock waves from the pending state budget ripple through their agencies in the next fiscal year or two. The state's fiscal crisis makes it highly unlikely that the promise of Service First - higher pay, career advancement, "shared savings" - will amount to much for most employees."" See "Budget woes may rattle Service First".
