Don't be misled by our angry outbursts

In recent months, Sheriffs have been openly critical of numerous agencies and individuals in the criminal justice system. This criticism has been reported extensively by the news media, and it is also evident in this issue of THE SHERIFF'S STAR. We have been getting a lot of things off our chests. We have given vent to our frustrations, and, in some cases, our hostili- ties. We have benefited in the same way that the father admin- istering a spanking sometimes benefits more than the child re- ceiving the spanking. But, it is important for the public to know that our critical outbursts have been accompanied by diligent efforts to work cooperatively with all elements of the criminal justice system in seeking answers to problems. Actually, we have worked harder at being constructive than Sheriff John Whitehead, President we have at being critical, but the constructive efforts have not been so widely publicized.

Governor REUBIN 0DONOVAN ASKEW

The Honorable Reubin O'Donovan Askew was elected the 87th Governor of Florida in 1970 as essentially a tax reform candidate. After inauguration day, he sustained this image by winning legislative approval of a referendum on a corporate profits tax. Then he campaigned for the tax from one end of the state to the other against what he called the "shadow government" of lobbyists and powerful special interests in Florida. His tax reform won voter approval by a 70 per cent margin. Taxes on household utilities and apartment rentals were promptly repealed. Loopholes were closed and other reforms enacted. He became the first Florida Governor reelected to a second full term when he easily won reelection in 1974 over Democratic and Republican opposition. Governor Askew also has been successful in fostering im- provements in law enforcement, prison reform, court reform, benefits for the working man, and environmental planning. He has been a stout defender of equal educational opportunities and was, as a result, awarded the 1971John F. Kennedy "Profiles in Courage" award by B'nai B'rith. His fight to protect Florida's environment has been cited in several conservation awards, including the special award of the National Wildlife Federation. As his reform programs gained national recognition, Gover- nor Askew was selected to deliver the Keynote Address at the 1972 Democratic National Convention in Miami Beach. Earlier honors included his selection by the Florida Jaycees in 1960 as "One of Florida's Five Outstanding Young Men"; the State Jaycee Good Government Award in 1971;and a number of citations as an "outstanding" member during his 12 years in Florida's Legislature. Born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, on September 11, 1928, Governor Askew was one of six children. support the family.

18 THE SHERIFF'S STAR LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

The Florida Legislature, composed of the Senate and House of Representatives, is the lawmaking branch of our government. It meets annually in the Capitol, in Tallahassee, for 60 days. The Legislature also holds extraordinary or special sessions. The Governor can call one of these sessions; or the Leg- islature can call itself into one of these sessions. Senators are elected for four-year terms. Represen- tatives for two years.

MARCH —APRIL 1975 Members of the Florida Senate are listed in two ways —first in alphabetical order by name; and then in numerical order by districts. If you are looking for a Senator and you don't know his name or his district number, perhaps you can identify his district by consulting the map on page 22. For more detailed information about members of the Senate consult "The Florida Handbook, " by Allen Morris. It is available in book stores, or it can be ordered from Peninsular Publishing Company, P. O. Box 2275, Tallahassee, Florida. e enae
