Week 5 Update FEBRUARY 8TH , 2018 WEEK FIVE UPDATE Fraternal Order Of Police SENATOR AARON REP. CORD BYRD SENATOR DENISE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE BEAN MEETING WITH GRIMSLEY WEEK 5 DISTRICT 2 GARNERS DISTRICT 2 ON PTSD CONTINUED SUPPORT SUPPORT FOR PTSD OF FOP LEGISLATIVE Priorities/Status The Florida State Fraternal Order Of Police faced the slow down of session as the legislature prepared for budget conference. Based upon the timelines of the Florida House Of Representatives it was critical that our PTSD/Workers Comp legislation was placed on agenda in House Government Operations Appropriations Committee. This committee is chaired by Representative Blaise Ingoglia. District Director Steve Klapka reached out to Rep. Ingoglia (State Republican Party Chair) to apply pressure from the local constituency, while FOP District 2 rallied their local delegation to get our bills brought to the forefront and placed on committee agenda. The Senate Bill (376) needs to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee, we expect the bill to be on the agenda but the full committee is not meeting next week. All the hard work has paid off and we met the deadline on Sub- Committee hearing in the House of Representatives and the bill has been placed on the agenda to heard in the House Government Operations Appropriations Committee agenda for Tuesday at 9:30 am in room 17 of the House Office Building. The Fraternal Order Of Police prioritized all legislation dealing with the local 175/185 local pensions and the Florida Retirement System. There are several pieces of legislation that are currently filed in the legislature, and with the exception of the actuarial bill that sets the Pictured; employer contribution rate all are either blocked, stalled or dead at this time. The legislation the that has a positive impact (cola) is moving in the senate but FOP Lodge 5-30 are recognized during session by the house has only workshopped the bill. The FRS pension legislation will Senator Aaron Bean have to be closely guarded and scrutinized as we go into the budget process, as any adverse legislation will be handled in the implementing bill for !1 FEBRUARY 8TH , 2018 WEEK FIVE UPDATE governmental operation appropriations. The actuarial legislation directed at the local pension bills still remains blocked and unheard by the committee chairmen. FOP District 2 arrive All the “Use Of Force” legislation is currently stalled in the to stand with fellow committee process and we will need to start focusing on keeping LEOs to push for PTSD any negative impact amendments from being attached to other legislation. legislation. The “Gun” legislation has three categories : Bad, Innocuous, and Good. The only legislation moving are the innocuous gun legislation and the others are blocked by the Senate Judiciary Committee or the Senate Criminal Justice Committee. Our LEOSA/Corrections legislation has not been heard in either chamber and we have passed the House deadline on subcommittee hearings. Currently the two chambers are working together but that is only a surface illusion. We are currently at the half way point in session and the two chambers have only passed 4 pieces of legislation to the Governor’s Desk. The bulk of bills are finalized and passed during the last 2 weeks of session, but as we approach the budget conference the legislature will slow down. The two chambers are at odds over the priorities of the two leaders. The sanctuary cities legislation that is the priority of Speaker Corcoran does not have the votes to pass and there is an expectation that the charter schools legislation (7055) that is also a Speaker priority, does not have the votes needed for passage. This will have the two chambers at odds, and we can only hope that they can find a middle ground and agree on allocations for the budget, so that conferencing can begin. This legislative session has a lot undercurrents of animosity and the legislators, their staff, and public are all on edge. This week the blog press Senator Aaron Bean attacked Senator George Gainer on social media and the dedicated fop honoring FOP 5-30: twitter followers immediately came to his defense, eliciting an apology Senator Audrey Gibson and the removal of the original tweets. The original journalist did the continuing her support for right thing, but there are other bloggers who continue to be on the her local leos: FOP 5-30 attack. These negative tweets are an attempt to bait to create twitter brings in reinforcements to wars, so the polite, professional, and direct tweets that our FOP members push for the HB 227/ SB have made are to be commended. 376. !2 FEBRUARY 8TH , 2018 WEEK FIVE UPDATE Next Week Monday Feb 12, 2018 Tuesday Feb 13, 2018 9:30AM Event Location H Government Operations & Technology 9:30AM-11:30A 17 H Appropriations Subcommittee M HB 0227 Workers' Compensation Benefits for First Willhite Responders !

Voting Records reports on the votes made by every legislator on bills that were advocated, promoted or opposed by Associated Industries of Florida (AIF). By reporting on 5,668 votes cast by legislators on 59 bills, this publication embodies the most exhaustive and complete record of the Tom C. Feeney President & 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 42 years AIF has published Voting Records yet, these 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 busi- ness community.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 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 in 2012. 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. Craig L. Silliman Senior Vice President, Public Policy 2 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 Political Contributions Policy: Our Voice in the Political Process What are the Verizon Good Government Clubs? and the government agencies administering the federal and individual state election laws.
