The Florida Senate
THE FLORIDA SENATE SENATE DEMOCRATIC OFFICE Location 200 Senate Building Mailing Address 404 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1100 (850) 487-5833 Professional Staff: David Cox, Staff Director AUDREY GIBSON Senate s Website: www.flsenate.gov Minority Leader December 11, 2018 The Honorable Ron DeSantis Governor-elect, State of Florida Transition Office, 16th Floor, The Capitol Tallahassee, FT 32399 Dear Governor-elect DeSantis, For the first time in almost 40 years, Florida s highest court stands at the threshold of reversing a legacy first established by former Governor Rubin Askew when he appointed Joseph W. Hatchett to fill a vacancy on the state Supreme Court. Justice Hatchett was the first African American to ascend to that position in Florida’s history, a testament to Governor Askew’s unwavering commitment to integration and equal justice. His judgement was overwhelmingly confirmed when Justice Hatchett won election in 1976. The historical appointment by Governor Askew stands in stark contrast to where we find ourselves today. With three upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court, only 11 names out of a possible 18 have been submitted by the Judicial Nominating Commission. Not one is African American, despite six qualified African Americans having applied. This continues an appalling lack of diversity injudicial appointments made during your predecessor’s tenure as there has not been a single African American judge among Governor Scott’s 32 appointments to Florida’s five appellate courts. You have an opportunity to correct this stark imbalance as you have the power to insist on a full complement of 18 candidates to be considered.

Dear Members of the Tourism Industry, Yesterday, the Florida Senate
Member News February 21, 2020 Dear Members of the Tourism Industry, Yesterday, the Florida Senate unanimously passed an eight-year reauthorization of VISIT FLORIDA (SB 362 sponsored by Senator Ed Hooper). This is great news for our industry and we sincerely thank the Florida Senate for supporting Governor Ron DeSantis’ budget recommendation of an eight-year reauthorization with con- sistent funding for our organization.

If you haven’t already, please reach out to your Florida Senator to thank them for their support. Also reach out to your Florida House Representative mem- ber and respectfully urge them to properly fund and support VISIT FLORIDA. To find out how you can help, visit TourismWorksForFlorida.org.

$43 Million Spent to Deceive Floridians and Stop Solar
$43 Million Spent to Deceive Floridians and Stop Solar November 2, 2016 Lost in the tumultuous presidential election and the down- ballot fears, something big has been happening quietly in Florida this year: Electric companies have dropped $42.7 million into political campaigns. The Miami Herald has published this information on Amendment 1. This article can be read in its entirety at this link. Read to the end to see those who have received money from the utilities. Comments by OSFR historian Jim Tatum. -A river is like a life: once taken, it cannot be brought back- Florida’s utility industry gambit: $43 million to influence legislature and stall rooftop solar Lost in the tumultuous presidential election and the down-ballot fears, something big has been happening quietly in Florida this year: Electric companies have dropped $42.7 million into political campaigns. Since January 2015, $20 million of the industry’s profits went to finance and promote Amendment 1, the ballot initiative that attempts to frustrate the expansion of consumer-owned rooftop solar in Florida, but another $15 million more went to fuel the campaigns of a select group of powerful legislative leaders in an effort to prepare for a prolonged war against rooftop solar. The bulk of the money is being used to promote Amendment 1 but, if that effort fails, the industry is also investing heavily into the Legislature to create favorable conditions in Florida, as utilities have in other states, to push back against the proliferation of rooftop solar. In other states, that effort has included attempts to make solar less economically feasible by reducing the amount the utility spends to reimburse customers for generating excess electricity to the grid through “net metering,” imposing new fees on solar users and pre-empting local governments from opening the door to more solar competition.
