What's hitting the fan in Florida?

I have been watching the Florida legislature televised debates recently. They are winding up their attempt to slash the state budget and it looks at this point like education will suffer huge losses in financial support. The state prison system, on the other hand, will apparently have an increase in funding. That's a wise thing to do since the reduction in educational support will probably result in an increase in the prison population in future years. Whatever it is that's hitting the fan for Florida education I know that it stinks.
