DENHAM (Mike) H= HOMER HOOKS M: Today we are interviewing Mr. Homer Hooks and we are going to talk today about the legacy of Lawton Chiles and hopefully follow this up with future discussions of Mr. Hooks’ business career and career in politics. Good morning Mr. Hooks. H: Good morning, Mike. M: As I mentioned, we, really, in the future want to talk about your service in World War II and also your business career, but today we would like to focus on your memories of Lawton Chiles. Even so, can you tell us a little bit about where you were born as well as giving us a brief biographical sketch? H: Yes, Mike. I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on January 10, 1921. My family moved to Lake County actually in Florida when I was a child. I was 4 or 5 years old, I guess. We lived in Clermont in south Lake County. My grandfather was a pioneer. He platted the town of Clermont. The rest of the family also lived north of Clermont in the Leesburg area, but we considered ourselves pioneer Florida residents. Those were the days in 1926, ‘27 and ‘28 days and so forth. I grew up in Clermont - grammar school and high school and then immediately went to the University of Florida in 1939 and graduated in 1943, as some people have said, when the earth’s crust was still cooling, so long ago.

Furthermore, in keeping with Democratic Party tradition , we are very proud of the powerful grass roots representation among our delegation. * Our strong presence in Chicago will be a fitting prelude to the Sunshine State's crucial role in the re­ election of President Clinton . Both at the Convention and at the polls this fall , Florida Democrats will be critical to ensuring that the effective and inspiring leadership we have seen over the past four years con­ tinues into the next century.

LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS TO AMEND THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION: THE IMPLICATIONS OF SMATHERS v. SMITH* I. INTRODUCTION The deliberations of Florida's Constitution Revision Commission have received much attention. Debates have been publicized. Issues have been scrutinized. The careful preparation for proposing constitu- tional changes to the people has been chronicled in depth and detail. When the people of Florida finally vote in November, 1978,1 on the recommendations of the revision commission, they will have had every conceivable opportunity to become familiar with those recommenda- tions. And this is as it should be. The people should know precisely what choices they face when they vote on a revision of their state constitution. Florida's Constitution Revision Commission is "unprecedented and unparalleled."' It is unique in all the nation.3 Nevertheless, the Constitution Revision Commission may not play as crucial or as last- ing a role in the continuing process of constitutional change in Florida as will the Florida Legislature.

Bondi, Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam, Governor Richard L. Scott, and Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey Atwater. “The powers of the state government shall be divided into legislative, executive, and judicial branches. No person belonging to one branch shall exercise any powers appertaining to either of the other branches un- less expressly provided herein.” Florida Constitution, Article II, Section 3 11 Table of Contents Article IV, Section 1 of the State Consti- tution vests the “supreme executive power” in the Governor. But the Governor shares his executive responsibility with other officers, elective and appointive. Of these, first are the members of what the Constitution designates as the “Cabinet.” The Cabinet formerly consisted of six officers elected statewide for terms of four years with the possibility of re-election for one successive term.

  • A Message from Craig Silliman
    1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2013 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 20 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 during 2013. 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.
