From Wednesday's opening prayer in the Florida Senate:
. . . O God, we confess we know our schools have infrastructure problems out the wazoo, our mental health strategies need to be updated, Medicare and Medicaid increases are the bull in our budget's china shop and our very own constitution prohibits rational tax strategies . . . "
-- the Rev. Donald L. Roberts, president, Goodwill Industries Manasota Inc., of Sarasota.
