I love summer. Summer is glorious in Florida.
It's hot, humid, sticky. Beer pool season.
It's also budget time.
I don't know who in their evil mind set government's fiscal year to begin on Oct. 1, but they ruin summer for everyone with it. There must be a special place in hell reserved for the person who came up with this idea.
The timetable has government body is struggling with balancing revenues and expenses into a budget during the hottest, most uncomfortable part of the year.
This year there are shrinking revenues, skyrocketing expenses, workers who have not seen a raise in years, folks who want a tax cut, folks without a job, and elections.
This is one bubbling stew spiced with egos, personality and pain that promises to get out of control.
And really, there needs to be a change.
