Pre-K passes
Pre-K passes. It moved on through with hardly any changes.
+ St. Pete Times runs a handy Q&A.
+ Palm Beach Post version here.
+ Herald version. (Note the redesigned, less cluttered front page of their Web site.)
+ Steve Bousquet notes that things ran unusually smoothly under the new leadership. (Despite a minor self-serving stunt by Rep. Bruce Kyle, R-Fort Myers.)
+ And despite some uncertainty in the law, it looks like state money can go to five-day a week Sunday school. When Jeb Bush says ''We could have done something that was politically correct . . . but it couldn't have been implemented," what he means is: "We could have paid attention to the state Constitution, but it would have been too expensive."
Instead, we might just change the Florida Constitution so we can pour money into the churches. Plus, it would bring out the evangelicals to vote Republican in 2006! (Palm Beach Post version here.)
Remember when conservatives used to say that "a government that can give you everything you want can take anything you have"? Well, that doesn't apply to state-supported religion somehow.
