The People of Lawmaking in Florida 1822 – 2019 The People of Lawmaking in Florida 1822 - 2019 Jose R. Oliva, Speaker February 2019 Edition i ii Introduction "The People of Lawmaking in Florida" strives to be an accessible guide for current and historical membership of the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate. The book is updated to reflect the biennial elections of new members to the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate. For the use and benefit of all citizens, copies of "The People of Lawmaking in Florida" will also be deposited in Florida public libraries. How to use this guide Only regular and organization sessions are noted, with the following exceptions: 1) if the first session served is other than a regular session; 2) if the last session served is other than a regular session and occurs in the succeeding year; and 3) if a session other than regular is at the beginning or end of a time gap in a succession of terms. For example: Brown, J. R. House, Seminole, 1962 (ex), 1963, 1965, 1966 (org), 1967, 1968 (spec) This indicates that Representative Brown's first legislative service was in the Extraordinary Session in November 1962 and that his last service was in the Special Session in June 1968. He served in the Regular Sessions of 1963, 1965, and 1967 and in the Organization Session of 1966. Sessions other than regular: (adj) adjourned* (ex) extra or extraordinary* (org) organization (spec) special *This terminology has been used to indicate sessions other than the Regular Session but in essence is synonymous with what we refer to today (2019) as a Special Session. * * * * * iii Political parties as a cohesive force in Florida date from the organization of the Jeffersonian Republican Democratic Party at St. Joseph on January 11, 1839. The organization of this party caused its opponents to similarly band together in a group known as the Whig Party. By 1845, when Florida entered the Union, the Jeffersonian Republican Democratic Party trimmed its title to the Democratic Party. By 1852, the Whigs had gravitated to two other parties: the Southern Rights Whigs to the Democratic and the remaining Whigs to the American, or Know Nothing, Party. In the crucial year 1860, they shifted again, to the Constitutional Union Party. The resurgence of party politics after the Civil War saw two national parties, the Republican and the Democratic. In Florida, the question of white supremacy attracted dissidents from both parties to a new Independent Party, which won 12 of the 32 Senate seats and 23 of the 88 House seats in the 1884 Legislature. After that election, the status quo was restored to the Democratic and Republican parties with a few deviations. Populists captured a few legislative seats in 1890. Sidney J. Catts, while professing to be a Democrat, won the governorship on the Prohibition ticket in 1916. On other ballots, there have been Socialist, Progressive, Communist, and Dixiecrat candidates. Of those, at least one Socialist, A. J. Pettigrew, won election to the House from Manatee County for the 1907 Session. In sum, the party labels used herein must be taken in the terminology of the time. The following abbreviations are used: (Dem)—Democratic (Rep)—Republican (Pop)—Populist (Soc)—Socialist (Const Union)—Constitutional Unionist (Ind)—Independent (Cons)—Conservative iv Your help solicited This book is updated to include the biennial elections of new members to the Florida House of Representatives and the Florida Senate. If you are aware of information that we have been unable to identify from existing materials your assistance in clarifying such ambiguities is always appreciated. For example, determining whether the "Wm." Smith recorded historically by the Clerk as spelled one way is the same person as "William" Smith representing the same county 10 years later.

  • Leadership and Ethical Development: Balancing Light and Shadow
    LEADERSHIP AND ETHICAL DEVELOPMENT: BALANCING LIGHT AND SHADOW Benyamin M. Lichtenstein, Beverly A. Smith, and William R. Torbert A&stract: What makes a leader ethical? This paper critically examines the answer given by developmental theory, which argues that individuals can develop throu^ cumulative stages of ethical orientation and behavior (e.g. Hobbesian, Kantian, Rawlsian), such that leaders at later develop- mental stages (of whom there are empirically very few today) are more ethical. By contrast to a simple progressive model of ethical develop- ment, this paper shows that each developmental stage has both positive (light) and negative (shadow) aspects, which affect the ethical behaviors of leaders at that stage It also explores an unexpected result: later stage leaders can have more significantly negative effects than earlier stage leadership. Introduction hat makes a leader ethical? One answer to this question can be found in Wconstructive-developmental theory, which argues that individuals de- velop through cumulative stages that can be distinguished in terms of their epistemological assumptions, in terms of the behavior associated with each "worldview," and in terms of the ethical orientation of a person at that stage (Alexander et.al., 1990; Kegan, 1982; Kohlberg, 1981; Souvaine, Lahey & Kegan, 1990). Developmental theory has been successfully applied to organiza- tional settings and has illuminated the evolution of managers (Fisher, Merron & Torbert, 1987), leaders (Torbert 1989, 1994b; Fisher & Torbert, 1992), and or- ganizations (Greiner, 1972; Quinn & Cameron, 1983; Torbert, 1987a). Further, Torbert (1991) has shown that successive stages of personal development have an ethical logic that closely parallels the socio-historical development of ethical philosophies during the modern era; that is, each sequential ethical theory from Hobbes to Rousseau to Kant to Rawls explicitly outlines a coherent worldview held implicitly by persons at successively later developmental stages.

  • To Clarify These Terms, Our Discussion Begins with Hydraulic Conductivity Of
    Caribbean Area PO BOX 364868 San Juan, PR 00936-4868 787-766-5206 Technology Transfer Technical Note No. 2 Tropical Crops & Forages Nutrient Uptake Purpose The purpose of this technical note is to provide guidance in nutrient uptake values by tropical crops in order to make fertilization recommendations and nutrient management. Discussion Most growing plants absorb nutrients from the soil. Nutrients are eventually distributed through the plant tissues. Nutrients extracted by plants refer to the total amount of a specific nutrient uptake and is the total amount of a particular nutrient needed by a crop to complete its life cycle. It is important to clarify that the nutrient extraction value may include the amount exported out of the field in commercial products such as; fruits, leaves or tubers or any other part of the plant. Nutrient extraction varies with the growth stage, and nutrient concentration potential may vary within the plant parts at different stages. It has been shown that the chemical composition of crops, and within individual components, changes with the nutrient supplies, thus, in a nutrient deficient soil, nutrient concentration in the plant can vary, creating a deficiency or luxury consumption as is the case of Potassium. The nutrient uptake data gathered in this note is a result of an exhaustive literature review, and is intended to inform the user as to what has been documented. It describes nutrient uptake from major crops grown in the Caribbean Area, Hawaii and the Pacific Basin. Because nutrient uptake is crop, cultivar, site and nutrient content specific, unique values cannot be arbitrarily selected for specific crops.

BURDS’ NEST OF INFORMATION THIS and THAT FOR MAY: MANGOS: Now that the mango season is commencing, LATE mangos should be selectively pruned, (yes - there will be fruit on the tree) so as to have fruit again next year. Selectively pruning, so as not to lose all the fruit. If late mangos are pruned after the fruit is harvested, eg: late September or October, it raises the % chance of no fruit the next year. Late mangos are Keitt, Neelum, Palmer, Beverly, Wise, Cryder & Zillate Early mangos – Rosigold, Lemon Saigon, Glen, Manilita & Florigon, to name just a few! When the fruit has been harvested, fertilize with 0-0-18. This is recommended because of the minors in the formulae. Fertilizing with nitrogen will cause ‘jelly seed’ and poor quality fruit. Also, spray with micro nutrients just before the new growth has hardened off.

As a result of their ef- Herpetology forts, the Museum’s collections are not only rich in Latin American holdings, but our re- search ties to friends and colleagues in the Neotropics and Mexico are unusually strong.

  • Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies
    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.
