    Work for balanced budget

    While visiting my children in Florida I like to read the Palm Beach Post which reported that Republican Gov. Rick Scott has submitted his third budget since being elected in 2011. This year the budget process is a little easier because of a budget surplus of over $800 million. It can be done. This surplus resulted from hard decisions made by the governor and the Republican Legislature. Please encourage both federal representatives and state reps and senators to work for a balanced budget.
