However, it all adds up to Trouble. Consider this: The healthiest states in the country are all Red. The sickest are all Blue. So you have good government, low taxes, budget surpluses, and, generally, sunny skies in Florida, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada and Virginia, to name a few. You want dark skies? Try Blue States like Califor- nia, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts, for example. So, what’s the problem? All those unhappy gotta-get-out-of-town Blue Staters are moving to the greener pastures of the Red States. Californians are going to Nevada, Colorado and New Mex- ico; New Yorkers to Florida, Michiganders to the Carolinas. ...And you’re thinking: “This is a good thing. More people. More Congressmen. More Electoral Votes.” Not so fast, Little Grasshopper. Here’s the skunk at the picnic. To this day, with the Internet, 24/7 cable news, million dollar cam- paigns and politics as the national hobby (or is it “obsession?”), the eternal truth is this: The single biggest determinant of how people vote is how their parents voted. In other words, they come to es- cape the Blues and wind up voting (drum roll, please) BLUE. They leave the high crime, high tax, union controlled Blue States and come here to vote for Wexler, Aaronson, Frankel and Klein; waxing nostalgic for the high crime, high taxes and union control they left behind. And, all of a sudden, healthy Red States like Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada are looking Purple, the toss up color. So my message is this: We won. People are voting with their feet every day. And their feet are going from Blue to Red. But often their heads get left behind. And their ballots go from New York Blue to Florida Blue.

  • 2000-2002 President Mckay
    MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT JOHN M. MCKAY President of the Senate Welcome to the Florida Senate — an institution steeped in tradition and instilled with the greatest sense of responsibility to those it serves. I am both honored and humbled to serve as Senate President for the 2000-2002 term. The opportunities that present themselves and the challenges we face are both exciting and daunt- ing as we address the needs of our nation's fourth largest state. Each of the Senate's 40 members represents a district comprised of constituencies with varied and unique perspectives of individual needs. Our responsibility to all the people of Florida will be to work together toward one common goal — to move the state forward in providing for its citizens through responsible legisla- tion. It has been said that one of the measures by which a society will be judged is the way it cares for its most vulnerable members. The Senate will discuss and debate About the Cover: many issues, but those of foster care, long-term care of the elderly, the homeless and children with developmental disabilities will be of paramount importance during my tenure as President. The Old Capitol, Oil on canvas, 27” x 42” 1982 Artist: Edward Jonas I invite you to read on and learn more about the history of the Florida Senate, its members and the legislative process. I am confident that by working together, Courtesy: The Museum of Florida History we can make Florida a better place to live, work and play as we continue our ven- Used with permission of Katherine Harris, Secretary of State ture into the 21st Century.
