Charlie Crist: Veto SB 6 – Senate Bill 6 Florida

There have been questions lurking around for the past these of whether Florida Republican Gov. Charlie Crist will veto an important education measure. Well, today, Crist vetoed the education bill that, according to the C.W., could hurt him in his GOP primary against Marco Rubio.

The AP reports:
Gov. Charlie Crist vetoed a bill Thursday that would have made it easier to fire Florida teachers and link their pay to student test scores, a move that will anger Republican legislative leaders and former Gov. Jeb Bush.

Some say Crist’s rejection of the measure (SB 6) signals that he is about to drop out of the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate, where he badly trails in the polls, and run as an independent.
