What a pathetic political move. DV

The Senate took the next hour and a half to decide whether to stay and do something. Then voted 18-16 to go home, too.

Earlier in the day 300 representatives of people circled the Capitol joining hands, then filled the galleries of the House and Senate.

Sierra Club and the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce will hold a press conference at the Alden Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach at 4 p.m. to express our outrage at the Legislature for its refusal to let Florida voters decide whether to ban drilling in Florida’s near shore, territorial waters. We’ll send you all a copy of our statement.
