A Christmas gift for the editorial pages
As someone who used to write editorials, I know the feeling -- you need to work ahead to get any time off for the holidays, the news cycle is slow and you can't write about campaign finance reform or health care system restructuring again, not and pretend anyone will read this stuff. ("What's the difference between a newspaper editorial and writing in a bathroom stall? People read writing in a bathroom stall" -- Dave Berry.) And then the Legislature drops something easy on your lap. Something so boneheaded and venial that all you need to do is describe it and shake your head.
Well, merry Christmas Florida editorial writers. In the face of a budget crunch the Legislature has set its first priority -- redecorating.
Miami Herald -- What budget crunch?
Orlando Sentinel -- What's good for taxpayers
Palm Beach- Season for children won't take a holiday. (see last graphs)
