TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Gov. Charlie Crist has vetoed a controversial bill that would have made it easier to fire Florida teachers and link their pay to student test scores.

I think he is going to run as an independent and throw it to a Democrat
Terrible shame.
It is clear now that Crist is leaving the GOP. He must be about to run as an Independent for the Senate seat.
Sad day, this was a great piece of legislation.
I guess he doesn’t like being governor any more....................he’s been everything else.........
/
He wuzz for it before he was against it.
Guy’s a nightmare.
Wouldn’t surprise me. Based on his prior and present performance, the guy is a lib. Liberal Republicans would rather have a liberal Democrat win an election than a conservative Republican.
RINO attack (before the change in party affiliation).
The AntiJeb!
I knew he’d cave. He stinks.
I figured he is so desperate for someone to like him that making the teachers’ union happy would get him some friends. No one else likes Crist.
I support some form of merit pay, but linking pay to student test scores isn’t always a good idea because it’s not always the teacher’s fault.
Still, the bill had some good things in it.
And the point of electing liberal republicans is....? Someone please remind me.
Well, this will give him support from the teachers union and other thugs in the state but may not do him much good with the rank and file Republicans.
This is exactly the kind of Republican that we, as a country, must get rid of. Marco Rubio will need all of our support and activism to defeat Crist and other Democrats in that beautiful state.
He is for sure going to run Independent to spoil it for Florida and National Conservatives. Now we must all work double for Rubio. I am getting ready for the Tea Party this afternoon in downtown Tampa it should be a Doozey.
Hey how about pay for performance being applied to business as well as teachers. No profits cut pay for everyone in the firm.
The notion of merit pay is actually a good idea, but this thing never had bipartisan support and, as mentioned above, was linked to the FCAT. It would have been horrible.
Bully to Crist for vetoing this monster.
Best,
Chris
Lieberman is the model.
Guess that means Crist the RINO turd is gonna run as an independant.
