Gov. Charlie Crist on Thursday unveiled his proposed budget for education only, which includes big bumps to education funding.  He's talking about spending $394 more per students in K-12 and a billion more overall in pre-K-12 education. Check out his handout.

Crist acknowledged that part of the reason he was talking about his education proposal now was to assuage fears that the property tax constitutional amendment would cut from public schools.

Crist wouldn't say where cuts would come from to fund the education bump, and his budget director suggested that info would come in February, after the primary. He did say his budget would be using nonrecurring funds for recurring expenditures.
