Governor Charlie Crist just vetoed HB 1171, which was euphemistically titled the "Consumer Choice Bill."
The story, however, may not yet be over, as the Tallahassee Democrat reported the sponsor of the bill may seek a legislative override of the veto.
In signing the veto, Governor Crist stated the bill would "likely result in significant and unpredictable rate increases that, during these difficult economic times, people can simply not afford."
