Governor's agenda
Note: the short SP Times piece that ran today seemed to need some work, so I’ve taken the liberty of editing it for clarity.
CLASS SIZEPosted by Norwood at March 9, 2005 09:07 PMOverturn the voter mandated class size caps through trickery and other devious means. Under Bush's proposal, class sizes would be measured by countywide averages, thus allowing local municipalities to cram 50 or 60 urban poor kids into one classroom while providing individualized instruction to the fairer skinned.
MEDICAID
Kill Medicaid and shrug off the resulting deaths of poor people who cannot afford their meds as collateral damage.
VOUCHERS
Offer religious instruction vouchers to any child.
TAX CUTS
Tax relief to wealthy corporations; a feel-good but meaningless tax holiday on clothing, books and school supplies; more profits for bars; repeal of the intangible tax on investments, which only affects a very few well off Floridians.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Roll over and offer developers any fucking thing they desire while lessening impact fees and regulations that might bite into profits.
LAWSUIT LIMITS
Eliminate the ability for an injured person to actually recover meaningful damages from a corporation whose grossly negligent behavior caused the injury in the first place.
