Sports stadiums & arenas and alligator marketing? Not so much.

Meantime, there's enough money to keep giving the owners of 20 sports stadiums and arenas - including the ones used by the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Heat and the Florida Panthers - tax subsidies as high as $2 million each. Lawmakers also peppered the budget with millions of hometown spending projects and items such as $160,000 for “alligator marketing and education.''

Of the myriad losers in a state budget that cuts a record $4 billion in spending, public education will lose the most.

The biggest budget winner: prison builders. They'll get $305 million to build one private and two public lockups.

The sad, sorry state of the US. The school to prison pipeline intact.
