Detert, Holder & Steube to Address Sarasota Republican Club

Detert,

Holder and Steube to
Update

Members at Nov 21 Dinner





Florida lawmakers returned to

Tallahassee in late October to begin their first series of committee meetings

in anticipation of the 2014 legislative session. They face both upsides and

challenges in Florida’s post-recession economy. Early estimates anticipate a

budget surplus, making it easier to construct a $74 billion state budget, while

funding new priorities. But complicated issues loom - including Medicaid

funding and expansion, finding a middle ground on Common Core, a variety of tax

cut proposals, revamping state pension plans for new employees, overhauling

Florida’s gambling regulations and clarifying self-defense legislation. Fortunately,

Nancy Detert, Doug Holder and Greg Steube will be with us at our

November dinner to recap their initial meetings and explicate their predictions

of what is to come in the spring session.

This is an election-year

Legislative session, with Governor Scott, 3 state Cabinet members and numerous

lawmakers on the campaign trail. Make sure you are with us on November 21st

to listen - and ask the questions that concern you the most.
