Sink: Fla. not doing enough to get federal grants

"Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink says Florida isn't doing enough to get its share of federal money."

"Sink sent a report to lawmakers on Wednesday saying Florida ranks 45th when it comes to getting money for everything from health care to transportation. She says the state could get $6 billion a year more if Florida received the national average."

"Sink says she has no idea what the state's Washington D.C. office does or even how much money it spends. That office reports directly to Gov. Charlie Crist. Sink added that there's lack of coordination between the Legislature and state agencies."
