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.

    April 26, 2017 President Joe Negron Office of the Senate President 409, The Capitol Tallahassee, FL 32399-1100 CC: Appropriations Chairman Senator Jack Latvala Appropriations Subcommittee on K12 Education Chairman Senator David Simmons Dear President Negron: Thank you for your adopted Senate budget which supports Florida’s students and school districts by: • providing a significant increase to the base student allocation; • recognizing the role school districts play in contributing funds through the Required Local Effort; • providing a healthy increase to total funding. While we recognize that budget conferencing is a complicated process with many moving parts, as the Florida Senate moves to conference and negotiations with the Florida House of Representatives, we humbly request that Senators stand firm on a responsible budget and to the obligation to Florida’s students and families to provide access to a quality and uniform system of education. The House budget proposal for K12 Education, in combination with possible effects to budget based on proposed policy, is not sustainable for Florida’s public school districts, and will result in, not only a legacy of issues for the Florida Legislature and future Governors of this state, but more importantly a detrimental effect on the quality of education available to Florida’s students. We strongly support your Chamber’s K12 budget positions, and we look to your leadership in maintaining these positions and fighting for Florida’s students in negotiations with the House of Representatives. Sincerely, Andrea Messina Tim Harris Executive Director FSBA President Polk County School Board The mission of the Florida School Boards Association is to increase student achievement through development of effective school board leadership and advocacy for public education.
