Everyone I talk to in Florida wants the same things: that everyone should have a job, enough to eat, shelter, medical care when needed or to prevent illness, protections for our land and water and hope for a better future. No one says they want only a few to prosper or that controlling the land, water and wealth of this state should be left to special interests or in the hands of one person.
The economy is not working now for too many people in Florida. Extremist, partisan and wrong- headed laws are not getting Florida on the right track to recovery. Like you, I want to see a fair and just economy and a secure future for all.
We must encourage businesses that are compatible with our surroundings and include features that protect the lifestyle choices of our residents. Land and water quality should never be sacrificed.
Preserving Public Education, Social Security and Other Public Investments
Essential services like public schools and post offices that were the centerpieces in our communities are being attacked, all for the interests of a few who would dismantle them for private profit. We must protect the assets of the people. We cannot give away long term investments in our future to private interests for their profit.
