Crist calls for special session to focus on the future of oil drilling off Florida's coast

In addition, the Tampa Tribune reports that:

Crist also announced the formation of a gulf oil spill economic recovery task force this morning. That group, he said, will help focus on lost revenues from the continued spill threat.

The task force will include representatives from state agencies, county governments, the seafood industry, tourism and other interests, the governor said. The group will make sure that BP LLC, the company responsible for the spill, is providing financial relief to those affected by the spill; members will also make sure the state has an adequate marketing plan so that tourism will not suffer.

The Governor also said that that the state"may have a couple" special sessions, including one dealing with ethics and anti-corruption legislation that didn't pass this spring.  That plays into rumors some Crist allies have been spreading, that governor would "get back" at some of his fellow Republicans who disrespected him during the past legislative session (lawmakers cannot fund raise while they are in session in Tallahassee.
