On Education: Urges veto of school choice bill

Putnam bashed a major conservative education bill and said Gov. Rick Scott should "take a hard look at vetoing" the school-choice bill, putting the Republican more in line with Democratic-leaning teacher unions and public school boosters. Unwilling to detail any criticisms with the substance of the bill, Putnam focused on process.

"I have concerns about the way that that bill, along with much of the budget, was fashioned completely in the dark and behind closed doors to the point that not only the public but many of the members who were asked to vote on it were unaware of all the different things that were taped together at the last second and then shoved into the pipeline," Putnam said.
