A Florida Supreme Court justice used the final opinion release of the summer Thursday to pointedly remind Gov. Rick Scott that his title is governor, not king.

The court declined to review Scott’s veto of a budget item that would have paid $37 million in court judgments won by homeowners in Broward and Lee counties. They lost healthy citrus trees in an unsuccessful attempt by the state to eradicate citrus canker. The plaintiffs still have time to seek relief in trial courts, six justices said.
