Legislature hands Gov. Bush disappointing crumbs


Republican leaders snub governor's `bold' ideas, agenda

TALLAHASSEE -- The 2005 legislative session that began nine weeks ago with Gov. Jeb Bush prodding legislators to think big and pass bold ideas collapsed as Bush's worst session ever.

So disappointing was the outcome for the two-term Republican governor that when GOP leaders embraced in the Capitol Rotunda late Friday for a noisy, hands-held high celebration of the session's end, Bush had already gone home to watch the final deliberations on television.

He didn't leave work pouting. But there sure wasn't a lot for him to cheer about.

By the time the session closed out, legislators had given Bush mere crumbs -- tokens of the major policy changes that he had personally lobbied legislators, especially on the last day, to get done.
