The state was already about 80% there the last 2 seasons. His plan is to remove the last 20% which was expected Federal Government help.
My personal opinion is that Florida is in the same class as California in emergency prepardness. The state hasn't royally screwed up since we got punched in the gut during Andrew. Now, if it looks like a hurricane will hit, tolls drop on outbound directions 3 - 5 days in advance.
