Don Gaetz: Governor Never Contacted Me About In-State Tuition Rates Bill

Gov. Rick Scott joined forces with former Govs. Jeb Bush and Bob Martinez on Friday to call for the Florida Senate to pass a bill to offer in-state tuition rates to all Florida students, but Senate President Don Gaetz says he hasn't been contacted by the governor to discuss the bill.

Neither Gov. Scott nor any former Florida governor has ever contacted President Gaetz about this issue, read a statement from Gaetz's office.Senators unanimously approved the Senate rules that govern bills not heard in Senate committees ... the president will follow the Senate rules."

Gaetz said Thursday he would vote against SB 1400.
