Bush compromise on Gulf lease faces Florida opposition
President Bush revived the Gulf drilling plan but faced immediate pushback from Florida figures led by Jeb Bush. He toured from Kennebunkport and claimed leases would shift offshore to Alabama while Floridians voiced opposition. Environmental groups warned of rising risks to coastlines. House members Davis and Scarborough backed a bid to block the sale. Senate action uncertain with possible September action. Bob Graham urged a national energy policy protecting sensitive coastlines.

If approved, the county budget would rise to 1.105 million, with mill levy potentially up 19 percent, as lawmakers tighten judicial funding amid growth and a hiring freeze.
