Florida PBA Endorses Crist
October 19th, 2009 by flanewsThe state�s largest police union is backing Governor Charlie Crist in the US Senate race.
The Florida Police Benevolent Association announced it is endorsing Crist today during a news conference on the steps of the old capitol. During the 2009 special session to balance the budget, Crist vetoed a spending cut that would have cost more than a hundred correctional officers their jobs. Crist says he�s always had tremendous respect for police officers for their efforts to keep the state safe.
�I always told people when I was in the state senate, �we had the easy part to do.� All we had to do was vote right. These people were the ones who really had to stick their neck out and that�s why this endorsement today is something I will never forget. I�ll always cherish,� said Crist.
The Florida PBA has endorsed Crist in all of his major races.
