Southwest Florida farm workers Wednesday urged Gov. Charlie Crist to act to eliminate slave-labor conditions in agriculture.
Crist said the injustice and arrogance of the situation has angered him, and that he would have a statement on the situation in a few days.
“That concerns me greatly,” Crist said after the meeting. “We want to be a continuing partner to help.”
Crist’s approval still soars

Gov. Charlie Crist’s political teflon keeps shining, even in the middle of a grinding recession and after slashing more than $6 billion from the state budget in the last two years.
A poll released this morning shows Crist’s approval ratings at a stratospheric 73 percent.
The poll was conducted for the Florida Chamber of Commerce’s Political Institute by Public Insight Research, an arm of Cherry Communications. The survey of 610 likely voters was conducted from Jan. 30 through Feb. 1 and has a 4 percent margin of error.
