Don't look to Palatka Rep. Joe Pickens for Charlie Crist-like optimism and sunshine, not when it comes to next year's budget.

Ouch.

I think that the Republicans should cut public schools to the bone after promising to hold them harmless. Then they should run for re-election. They should run really fast from the pitchforks and torches.

The legislature and Gov. Charlie "be all thing to everyone" Crist have shown a lack of honesty here as well as an inabilty to set priorities.
