Florida Governor Crist addresses Florida foreclosures

The following excerpt is from Governor Crist's 2008 State of the State address:

"Florida’s families and business are faced with extraordinary economic times
– sky rocketing gas prices, the threat of foreclosure and a
softening housing market. And, like Florida’s families, these challenging times
will require us to meet the demands of declining revenues.

And how will we do this?

By keeping taxes low, creating jobs, and fueling an economy that ranks
ahead of most nations of the world, we set a model at which others can
marvel.

Pessimists see problems, while optimists see opportunities. You know I
am an optimist, but no matter the perspective, we can dare to be great.
"
