Bush vs. Meek, Round 2

Gov. Jeb Bush, credited in 2005 with blocking slot machines in Miami-Dade, has signed up to campaign against another proposed slots referendum in his adopted hometown.

"As I did two years ago when I was governor, I am urging all of my fellow Miami-Dade residents to join me in voting no on Jan. 29 so that we may continue to protect our community and our families," Bush wrote in a statement read at an anti-slots press conference. "Exanded gambling will only serve to erode our traditional industries, the industries we aspire to have and our very social fabric."

On the other side of the campaign, former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek, a Miami Democrat whose son, Rep. Kendrick Meek, gave Bush one of the only losses of his two term tenure as governor. Meek successfully pushed for limits on class sizes.

His mom urged voters to say yes, saying that casinos will spur economic development that minority neighborhoods especially need.

''This is going to help everyone improve the quality of their lives . . . . Jobs, businesses -- that's what we need and that's what's going to happen,'' said Meek, who is being paid by the campaign as a consultant.
