  • 2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature
    2017 Regular Voting Session of the Records Florida Legislature ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA The Voice of Florida Business Since 1920 2017 CHAMPIONS for BUSINESSPage 25 AIF Voting Records • 2017 1 Dear Employer: It is my pleasure to provide you with this tabulation of the voting conduct of each member of the Florida Legislature during the 2017 Regular Session. 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.

  • 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.
