TALLAHASSEE - Gov. Charlie Crist and the Florida Cabinet are set to discuss a controversial deal to spend millions for a new road in Central Florida.
Crist and the Cabinet will decide Tuesday if the state should spend $9.93 million as part of an overall $28 million purchase needed to build the Wekiva Parkway, a segment of a beltway circling Orlando.
An earlier more expensive deal was voted down by Crist and the Cabinet two weeks ago after the governor and Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink called it a waste of tax dollars.
The Cabinet will also discuss whether to maintain some state control over building in the Florida Keys and whether to ask lawmakers to make it easier to impound the cars of drivers who drive without a valid license.
