There is some good information on these article by Dave hyde :

 

 

Miami Beach recently sent its residents a $200 rebate because of a revenue surplus. That money wasn't used to upgrade schools. OK, that's just one, relatively small city. And everyone needs a rebate, right?

 

Let's look on the grander scale: The state of Florida now has an estimated $7 billion surplus. Of that, about $1.8 billion has been earmarked to help our schools that rank annually among the nation's worst. That sounds big. And we'd all agree it's important. It also leaves more than $5 billion in, well, surplus.

schools should always come before anything else. my high school in south florida was consistently at 133% of capacity every year. stop building condos and build more schools!
