Governor Jeb Boosh declares that the biggest disappointment of his term is the inability to get a grip of Florida's growth.
"The governor is almost certain to dismantle the Department of Community Affairs, the 450-employee agency that oversees the way land is developed in Florida's 67 counties... Earlier this month, Bush acknowledged the department's land-planning duties should be put under the Secretary of State, a formerly elected position that Bush will get to appoint next month."
