Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R) said he may not sign a controversial bill that delays cleanup of the Everglades.

The Miccosukee Tribe, environmentalists and some member of Congress say the bill, passed by the Florida Legislature, will hurt the $8 billion project. A federal judge has also questioned the provisions.

Bush initially said he would sign the bill but says he is concerned about the court's reaction if he does.
