Our State Government Gets a Big Fat Veto from Crist by Geniusofdespair

(Hit on the letter to make it larger). Governor Crist Vetoed Substitute Senate Bill 900 which would have made it harder for us to get petitions signed to put initiatives on the ballot. The bill called for a strict 30 day deadline for the submission of petitions to the Supervisors of Elections for verification. The bill also gave voters 30 days to revoke their signature from a ballot initiative.

Crist seemed to object to the 30 day submission requirement because, he said, it unnecessarily restricts the right of Florida’s citizens to petition their government. Thanks Charlie, I agree.
