Crist vetoes energy bill
Gov. Charlie Crist has vetoed HB 7123, a comprehensive energy bill that Republican legislative leaders lauded as one of the accomplishments of the session. Crist, who is convening a summit on climate change next month, said in his veto letter that the legislation attempts to go forward in developing environmentally sound energy policies but that it goes backwards in other ways and does not represent a "unified" energy policy for the state.
"We can do better. We must do better,'' wrote Crist in his veto message.
