    Veto of Florida public-broadcasting funding

    Governor Rick Scott vetoed $4.8 million in public-broadcasting support, describing it as unnecessary spending on a special-interest group. Critics disputed that characterization and argued that the stations served educational, cultural, journalistic, and community purposes. Petitions and legislative support for continued funding did not overturn the veto.
