Times Columnist In the Capitol Wednesday morning the governor signed a bill he had already signed. This is how it is done: They set up a little table with a bunch of pens and a binder holding the bill, and a lot of people stand behind the governor, and he signs it all over again for the cameras. In fact, the governor liked signing that bill so much that it is how he spent the rest of the day, signing the same bill over and over in Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers and Miami, 'to spread the good news.' This made me wonder: What if he accidentally vetoed one of them? Would it be a case of majority rule, so that if he signed four and vetoed one, it still counted? The bill the governor signed says that Florida businesses do not have to pay as much of a higher unemployment tax this year. This is popular because otherwise the rates would go way up, there being a great number of unemployed people. Somebody asked the governor what will happen later, when there is still a piper to be paid and the rates have to go even higher. 'We are operating,' the governor replied, 'in the present.' This seemed to say more about him than he perhaps intended. At these 'availabilities' for the governor, it is customary for us reporter-types to ask the question, which, stripped to its essence, goes like this: MEDIA-TYPES: Governor, would you like to take this opportunity to say something bad about your opponent in the Republican U.S. Senate primary, Marco Rubio, who in a new poll is now crushing you by 11,254 percent? GOV. CRIST: Yes. So Wednesday morning's topic was a new article saying that Rubio, when in the Legislature, had gotten $250 million of stuff into the budget even though he likes to claim he didn't do that kind of thing. The governor referred to him as 'Porkus Rubio.' That is what he said, 'Porkus.' One of my colleagues from the St. Petersburg Times/Miami Herald Tallahassee bureau, Marc Caputo, asked the governor: How come you didn't veto Rubio's porcine spending? That is what he said too, 'porcine.' The governor said something but it was time for him to leave for the important business of scooting around the state to sign the same bill over and over. So after that it was only the Legislature for entertainment. Let's see. There are bills to loosen Florida's class-size rules, to strengthen penalties for teachers having sex with students (who could argue?), to crack down on texting while driving (ditto), curtailing the sale of certain reptiles (insert your own joke), and expanding gambling one way or the other. Although there are bills both to limit and to expand the use of red-light cameras, I would say the pro-camera side is winning. Also interesting is a bill to make the recordings of 911 emergency calls a secret personally I think it is salacious for the media to exploit them, and yet even worse to keep them a secret, so that Floridians have no way to know if dispatchers have botched the call, which happens. On balance this bill hides the government. Maybe the biggest thing Wednesday was a bill by Sen. John Thrasher, R-Jacksonville, to end teacher tenure. You will not be stunned to hear that the teacher unions did not slow it down. My own thinking is that if Florida teachers really wanted clout, every teacher in Florida would register as a Republican. But that suggestion never seems to go over very well.
