THE SHERIFF’S STAR ✰ JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2010 1 FLORIDA SHERIFFSFLORIDA ASSOCIATION OFFICERS A message from the President It is with a heavy heart that I write this col- umn. As you may have seen on the preceding page, the Florida Sheriffs Association lost its Executive Director Gary Perkins in January. As much as business must go on – this publication must go to press – I wanted to pause and pay tribute to the nearly 30 years Gary gave to this association. Gary was so conscientious – very devoted to the Sheriffs of Florida. And he had the respect of all his peers around the nation. Many Executive Directors from other state associations looked up to Gary because he helped make FSA one of the premier law enforcement organizations in the nation. They were constantly seeking his advice and for that reason, many other associations were patterned after Florida. We will be running a longer tribute to Gary in the next issue of The Sheriff’s Star. But for now, please keep this association, Gary’s family and the staff that will work to carry on his vision in your prayers. Sumter County Sheriff William O. "Bill" Farmer, Jr. Changes ahead President of the Florida Sheriffs Association As we turn the page to a new decade, there are some major issues facing our state with regard to public safety and criminal FSA OFFICERS justice. And that means now – more than ever – your Florida 2009-2010 Sheriffs need your support. Please make a point to review our priority issues for this upcoming legislative session (starting on page 4). Refer to this Guidebook to find your state senator and representatives, then use whatever means you can to let them know you stand with the Sheriffs. Citizens should never underestimate the damage that one piece of bad legislation can do to our state and our local com- munities. At the same time, the positive effects that can come from good legislation. That’s why we work closely with our gov- ernmental consultant, Frank Messersmith, to keep tabs on the Harrell Reid Joey Dobson Vice President Immediate lawmakers’ agenda.

  • 2018-Mid-Year-Political-Contributions
    1 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies -- from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more -- that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon and its affiliates during the first half of 2018. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners. Craig L. Silliman Executive Vice President, Public Policy and General Counsel 2 Verizon Political Activity January – June 2018 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Democratic Process What are the Verizon Political Action Committees? regulations govern many aspects of the contributions process including the setting of monetary contribution limitations and The Verizon Political Action Committees (PACs) exist to help the establishment of periodic reporting requirements.

    2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA The Voice of Florida Business Since 1920 2017 CHAMPIONS for BUSINESSPage 25 AIF Voting Records • 2017 1 Dear Employer: It is my pleasure to provide you with this tabulation of the voting conduct of each member of the Florida Legislature during the 2017 Regular Session. Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida (AIF). By reporting on 5,668 votes cast by legislators on 59 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive and complete record of the Tom C. Feeney President & Legislature’s approach to the concerns of Florida’s employers. Chief Executive Officer We go to great lengths to ensure that legislators are aware of AIF’s positions on issues of great importance to the business community. Every year before the session begins, we produce AIF’s Session Priorities, which explains why we support or oppose key issues. In addition, during the session we provide each legislator with a Daily Brief on the activities of that day, highlighting bills of interest to business and our positions on those issues. Our greatest asset, however, is our experienced and accomplished legislative team, which has compiled a record of success second to none. For 42 years AIF has published Voting Records yet, these records only tell part of the story. AIF also helps its member companies detect what bills and amendments are filed and by whom, and who is taking part in behind-the-scene efforts and debates on behalf of the busi- ness community.
