  • Thetwenty-Firstcentury
    TheTwenty-firstCentury On a national and global level, “the worst is yet to come” describes the beginning of the twenty-first century and of the decade of the 2000s, during which a new disaster or crisis seemed to always be on the horizon. First there was the Year 2000 (Y2K) alarm that predicted computers worldwide would crash at the stroke of midnight December 31, 1999, and throw us all into global financial chaos. Programmers almost universally had not taken into consideration the beginning of the new millennium, 2000, when digital clocks would roll over from 99 to 00. Worldwide, programmers scrambled to reprogram computer calendars and clocks. When midnight came, nothing happened. In the first year of the new millennium, Republican George W. Bush, the son of President George H. W. Bush, defeated Al Gore for the presidency in the closest election since 1876. Bush won thirty states to Gore’s twenty, plus the District of Columbia, but Gore won the popular vote overall, only the fourth time in history that such a split had occurred. When Bush narrowly won Florida by five hundred thirty-seven votes out of six million cast, Gore challenged the canvassing board’s certification of the election. The Florida Supreme Court ordered a statewide vote recount, an action overturned by a 5- 4 vote of the U.S. Supreme Court along what appeared to be party lines. A month after the election, Bush’s victory was validated. He had won the Electoral College vote. On January 20, 2001 he was inaugurated as our 43rd president.

Jeff Atwater President of the Senate elcome to the Florida Senate – an institution rich in tradition, with a history of care- ful deliberation, and a deep sense of responsibility to serve the citizens of Florida. It is my desire that you will take the opportunity to visit the Senate chamber, the halls which display historical photographs, and the members who make up our Senate body. The Florida Senate is comprised of forty individuals from every walk of life. From the Panhandle to the Florida Keys, our diverse body reflects our great state. While back- grounds and experiences vary, in keeping with Senate tradition, on the Senate floor we are equals. Each Senator has the opportunity to impact and shape public policy. We may be passionate in our debate, but in the end we work together toward the same goal – a brighter future for Florida. I am honored and humbled to serve as the presiding officer of this body at this time in his- tory. During the next two years we will face a budget deficit of historical proportions. It is our constitutional duty to maintain a balanced budget, and that will be our priority. How- ever, we will also look at how we can stimulate Florida’s economy and create an environ- ment in which Florida’s families, communities, and businesses can thrive.
