Charlie Crist pens an op ed for the South Florida Sun Sentinel:

"...While I am eternally optimistic about our state's future, none of these issues are easily solved. However, with collective action and bipartisan cooperation, we can set Florida on a course to lead the nation in the 21st century.

So as the governor and Legislature prepare to gather in Tallahassee, I hope they will heed the advice of the President, put the people of Florida ahead of their own political interests, and find the collective will to take on the state's most pressing issues, together."
