How senators voted on anti-privatization "study"
Here's how members of the Florida Senate voted Monday on an amendment that would have gutted a major prison privatization bill (SB 2038) by replacing it with a study. A yes vote would have effectively killed privatization; a no vote keeps the measure alive. The Senate has 28 Republicans and 12 Democrats.
