Florida's governor signs compromise school safety bill
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Flanked by family members of students who were killed during a mass shooting just over three weeks ago, Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Friday signed a $400 million school safety bill in response to the tragedy that killed 17 people at a high school.
He said the bill, which was written since the shooting, balances "our individual rights with need for public safety."
"It's an example to the entire country that government can and has, moved fast."
The bill isn't what many of the shooting's survivors, or the school's students, wanted — they said it doesn't go far enough.
