Yes,the Governor sends his recommendation , he proposes and then the legislature takes it apart, changes it, adds to it, subtracts from it, and gets it passed. Marco Rubio was Speaker of the Florida House. The executive is not a dictator in the US, despite what Mr. Trump is used to doing in business, you have to get things through, which Marco, Tea Partier Marco, did. Getting things through a legislature is not easy.
Especially the people in Tallahassee...the Florida State Senate is more moderate than the Florida House...
