Florida's $2.6 billion budget deficit gets final approval

Cuts totaling $1.2 billion most heavily hit education, health care and social services. Gov. Charlie Christ is expected to to sign the measure with just a few line-item vetoes.

While school districts were warned of the cuts months in advance, its still not going to be easy for them. Teachers in one district were asked to remove any personal appliances in order to save on electricity. These personal appliances include lamps on teachers desks. Apparently children may be the future but we don't money in the budget for the "future".
