Tampa Bay dodged some of the biggest hits on Gov. Rick Scott's veto list Tuesday, drawing sighs of relief around the region. But there were still some casualties.

The money is needed to help stem the recent tide of violence in the city, said Rep. Darryl Rouson, who sponsored the measure. "I'm disappointed," Rouson said. "It would have enhanced efforts."
