    HOW THEY VOTED Where Legislators Stood on the Florida Chamber’S 2017 Business Agenda

    HOW THEY VOTED Where Legislators Stood on the Florida Chamber’s 2017 Business Agenda SECURING FLORIDA’S FUTURE FloridaChamber.com 2017 Legislative Summary Florida Chamber Members and Friends: The Florida Chamber of Commerce made a measurable difference for businesses during the 2017 Legislative Session. While lawmakers missed opportunities to make Florida more competitive, and jeopardized Florida’s economic development capabilities, the Florida Chamber testified over 125 times and advanced many issues in our competitiveness agenda. Unfortunately, as has been widely documented, legislative leaders advanced a new quasi populist agenda which includes more lawsuits, higher workers’ compensation and property insurance rates, fewer visitors, Syd Kitson less economic diversification and more uncertainty. 2016-2017 Chair Florida Chamber of Commerce The Florida Chamber’s 2017 issue of How They Voted includes: £ Results of the Florida Chamber’s annual Business Agenda which provides an overview of how Florida Chamber-backed, job-creating measures fared during the 2017 session, and £ The Florida Chamber’s Annual Legislative Report Card, a comprehensive report based on more than 5,300 individual votes, which provides members with objective information on how legislators voted on our key legislative priorities. While the report card influences future endorsements in state legislative races, it is not the sole determinant. The truth is that things are fragile in Florida, and when Florida’s Legislative Session Mark Wilson President and CEO is defined by what didn’t happen, state leaders – including the two of us – hoped Florida Chamber of Commerce for more than missed opportunities. Some in legislative leadership put trial lawyers ahead of local businesses and now Floridians are paying billions for it.
