Governor Charlie Crist Crist weighs next step for gambling pact
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Gov. Charlie Crist continues to weigh his response to a court ruling that overturned a gambling agreement he made with the Seminole Tribe to expand gambling at its casinos.
The Florida Supreme Court said last week that Crist doesn't have the constitutional authority to enter into the pact. Crist's top advisers met with representatives from the tribe on Monday. The governor says he wants to do "what's in the best interest of Florida and education dollars." He said many options are on the table, including working with the Legislature to alter the law. House Speaker Marco Rubio challenged the agreement after Crist signed it in November. --- Information from: South Florida Sun-Sentinel, http://www.sun-sentinel.com (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press.
