    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. While this is positive news, our work is far from finished. As the Legislature approaches the final stages of their budget crafting process, VISIT FLORIDA must be reauthorized and funded by BOTH CHAMBERS or we cease to exist in July. We have been meeting with members of the Legislature nonstop this session, and we remain hopeful that our organization will continue to have the ability to provide great services to you and your business well into the future. 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.

    WINTER 2016-2017 2 | Winter 2016-2017 CHRISSY DOLIGALSKI Editor, The Sandspur Active Since 2014 INVEST: MAKING THE FUTURE BRIGHT CHRISSY DOLIGALSKI My husband, Mike, and I were blessed to welcome our first child in to the world this past June. Now that the dust and diapers have started to settle, I am starting to think about what kind of legacy I want to leave for our son. Of course, there’s the legacy of a happy home full of love and support. There are 529 plans to be started and pre-schools to check out. There’s the legacy of a household with a working mom and dad and all of the pride, guilt, and “balance” that comes with it. EDITOR'S LETTER As I enter the holiday season, however, one of the most important legacies I want him to inherit is the legacy of voluntarism. The ideals of “thankfulness” and “giving” are all around us in the months of November and December, but as a member of The Junior League of Tampa I see gratitude and service year-round through our community projects, legislative efforts and fiscal priorities. Investing our time, energy and financial resources in the community serves the mission and the vision of our League. In this issue, you’ll see the investment several women have made to build homes that make voluntarism a priority. We shine a spotlight on one of our newest investments, the Young Women’s Entrepreneurship Program (YEP) of the Holiday Gift Market, meant to develop women in their small businesses, and we chat with Gabby Soriano, marketing director for Hyde Park Village about the investment Hyde Park Village is making in the community.

  • January 29 – February 2, 2018
    THIS WEEK IN THE FLORIDA SENATE JANUARY 29 – FEBRUARY 2, 2018 Senate Budget Prioritizes Education, Environment, Health Services & Public Safety Officers This week, the Senate Committee on Appropriations, chaired by Senator Rob Bradley, unanimously passed Senate Bill 2500, the Senate’s proposed budget for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. This balanced budget prioritizes Florida’s K-12 and higher education systems, the environment, health services, and state Public Safety Officers, while setting aside $3.4 billion in total reserves, with no new taxes. The proposed budget reflects the Senate’s strong commitment to supporting our students, and recognizes the link between education and our economy. From unprecedented per-student funding for our K-12 schools, to continuing historic investments in need and merit-based student financial aid, we understand that there is a significant return for taxpayers when we invest in Florida’s future. Additionally, with the permanent expansion of the Bright Futures scholarship, students who have earned the right to attend college have a better chance of reaching their goal without financial burdens standing in the way of their dreams. The Senate is committed to protecting Florida’s environment and the budget reflects that by including $154 million for Florida Forever Programs, $183 million for Florida’s Everglades, and $95 million for Springs Restoration. [1] The Senate is also taking action to end Florida’s opioid crisis by providing viable solutions to help communities combat this horrible epidemic. By funding over $53 million for the treatment and prevention of opioid addiction, we are taking steps in the right direction to solve this rampant crisis in our state.
