ELECTION GUIDE FOR LONG TERM CARE FACILITIES 4 0 0 2 FLORIDA Provided by FHC PAC P.O. Box 1459 Tallahassee, FL 32302 (850) 224-3907 s (850) 681-2075 fax www.FHCA.org 2004 Election Guide for Long Term Care Facilities The 2005 Legislative Session will be a critical one for Florida nursing homes. The state budget crisis is such that legislators will not be able to avoid making serious and broad reforms in order to keep spending under control. The Medicaid Program is growing at leaps and bounds and executive and legislative leaders have stated that the program must be brought under control. Any major changes to the way Medicaid is financed will have serious implications for Medicaid recipients and providers, and for the state’s health care system as a whole. We must take every opportunity to ensure that we elect people who understand and support long term care providers. That is why the Florida Health Care Association is providing you with this election year guide. It contains information that the Association has collected on state Senate and House races. We do not intend it to be fully comprehensive; there are many candidates that we have not met. However, we share with you what we do know now so that you, your staff, residents and family members may become better educated as voters and more active in your elected official’s races. This guide contains the following items: * An outline of the 2004-2005 Grassroots Program - It describes our plan for the election and for the upcoming legislative session. -

2015 21 2015Champions Forbusiness
2 015 Champions forBusiness otes provide tangible evidence of whether or not a legislator upholds the ability of Florida companies to operate free of overly burdensome state regulation and taxation. VIt is a valuable tool used by AIF and the business community to determine which legislators running for re-election deserve our support. Yet, voting records only tell part of the story. A Champion for Business is a legislator who takes risks for his or her belief in the free-enterprise system, who defies the status quo when it is harmful to our state’s competitive climate, and who faces down oppo- nents to the growing prosperity of Florida’s citizens. The Champion for Business is evidence that, in our efforts to let our members and their legislators know who has been good for business and who has been bad, we leave no stone unturned. This year, AIF selected those legislators who we deem are strong and forceful advocates for the business community. In our collective wisdom, the Governor and these nine legislators are the epitome of what a Champion for Business should be. Wheth- er they proposed an important bill, authored a key amendment, or toiled behind the scenes, these legisla- tors are the ones who made a difference this session. The Champion for Business award symbolizes our gratitude for extraordinary efforts by legislators on behalf of the business community.

2012 Regular Business Session of the Issues Florida Legislature
Voting Records On Key 2012 Regular Business Session of the Issues Florida Legislature Champions2 0 1 2 for Page 37 Business ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA The Voice of Florida Business Since 1920 Dear Employer: It is my pleasure to provide you with this tabulation of the voting conduct of each mem- ber of the Florida Legislature during the 2012 Regular Session. Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were lobbied, advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida. By reporting on Tom C. Feeney 13,281 votes cast by legislators on 114 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive President & and complete record of the 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 37 years, AIF has published Voting Records, an analysis of every vote cast by every leg- islator on major business issues. Yet voting 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 business community. -
