Will Crist call lawmakers back to Tallahassee?
by Michael C. Bender | May 1st, 2010Gov. Charlie Crist spent the final hours of his last spring legislative session in Miami, about as far away from the Capitol as he could get without leaving the state.
It was a fitting end to a tumultuous 60 days in which he received more attention for his public flogging of Republican lawmakers than any particular policy change he spearheaded.
The rift between the state party and its nominal head turned irreconcilable, but the physical separation could be short lived as Crist considers calling lawmakers back to Tallahassee to address tougher public corruption penalties, extend unemployment benefits or a rewrite the state’s $70.4 billion budget.

He should call them back to fix our state’s ridiculous energy policy. Oil drilling, but no renewables. Pitiful. And I’m a Republican!@!!
