Of course it's hard to pinpoint all the blame because nobody is actually in charge. The governor has apparently decided he would rather kiss up out in Arizona and get on a presidential ticket than do anything for the people who voted him into office. The agency that is supposed to work with the developmentally disabled is incompetent and the Legislature is well - the Florida Legislature. ...more
