...from CIVIC Concern
State legislators returned to Tallahassee today for the beginning of the annual 60-day legislative session. Getting the most attention this year are the revenue shortfalls and resulting necessity to cut $2 billion from the budget.
But many other important issues will be up for debate, including property insurance, health care access, and FCAT reform.
Please remember that when we band together, we can affect change.
Last fall, CIVIC collected more than 3000 of our signatures on a petition urging the legislature to address the expiration of personal injury protection auto insurance. A few weeks later, after months of refusing to address the issue, the legislature took up and passed a bill to renew the law.
I know. We're all kinds of bad ass.
Stay tuned for the launch of a new CIVIC initiative. For a sneak peak at their new 30-second ad, click here.
In the meantime, use their online tool to contact your senator and state representative and let them know the issues you want them to focus on during the Session.

You gotta admit, legislatively, at least, Colorado's got it all over fL.A. ... I mean, they're preparing to cripple their higher ed system by slashing staff and dollars, property taxes are still regressive and putting insane pressure on local govts, and state-run homeowners insurance? Setting the Gunshine State up for bankruptcy and a federal bailout ... "Expect Delays."
And then, in Colorado "The Square State" ... we're talking about Sunday beer sales and making gas drillers pay their fair share for creating jobs and pumping money into the economy.
Not really that bad.
Did you ever wonder whether the architects for FL's legislative complex were just laughing, thinking, "I can't believe we got away with that design"?
What are you saying, Richard?
Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.
