Women Build 2017 CALLING ALL PINK HARD HATS AND HAMMERS!
Pensacola Habitat for Humanity is currently recruiting Women Builders for Women Build 2017!
T
By Nancy Wolfe
his is the fourth year for this fun and impactful event, which brings together nearly 150 women (and some men) from all walks of life to build a home for a local family. The families we serve are hardworking and dedicated to becoming successful homeowners. When Habitat home buyer Kenyata found out that she would be the recipient of the Women Build 2016 home, she felt empowered, “… We, women, are the definition of strength and dignity. To come together and bring awareness about building affordable homes in our community, all while building my home, making my dreams come true, is amazing.”
What is Women Build? Women Build is a community event that brings people together to construct a new home for a local family. Teams and individuals join together to raise funds to build a home and then spend a week on the build site, constructing the home.
The four components of Pensacola Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build are: 1. Fundraising
Each Builder will raise $500. Teams raise $5,000. Don’t worry, Pensacola Habitat for Humanity staff and the Women Build Leadership Team offer plenty of support and guidance along the way to help you achieve your goal.
2. Advocacy
Not only are Women Builders building homes, but they are equally importantly building awareness throughout the community about the importance of affordable, secure, and decent
homes. Women Build gives the opportunity to bring new women and groups together to advocate for more decent, affordable homes.
3. Celebrating
The average cost of a Habitat home is around $80k so it’s always a huge celebration at the end of the fundraising period! Pensacola Habitat for Humanity holds several events throughout the Women Build campaign for Builders to get together and celebrate success. Women Builders also have the opportunity to earn one-ofa-kind incentives, like pink hard hats and pink hammers.
4. Building
Each builder commits to spending one full day (8:00am – 3:00pm) on the build site, during Build Week in October. We get back together at a later date to paint and landscape the home, then dedicate it to the new homeowner.
Why Women Build? Our Women Builders are a representation of strong and caring women who want to make a difference for local families (hence our Rosie the Riveter mascot). “This is my third year as a Women Builder,” notes Mesha Boyle, recruitment chair for the Women Build Leadership Team. “Whether you have a commitment to give back, or your motivation is a chance to don a pink hard hat and work on the construction site, the feeling you will get from being a part of this is fantastic.” Sacred Heart Health System has been a Women Build Home Builder Sponsor for the past three years, creating teams of 10 women to be a part of – and advocate for – Women Build. Susan Davis, President and CEO of Sacred Heart Health System, shares with us her passion for giving back to the community and advocating for change, “It’s not
a question of finding the time, you make the time. This is my home and it’s important that our community have people that have access to good health care, have quality education, have meaningful employment and a safe home for them and their families.” Are you interested in Women Build but afraid of the fundraising commitment? Don’t worry! Pensacola Habitat for Humanity will be with you every step of the way with fundraising tips, setting up an online fundraising account, and we even have a few fundraising opportunities already lined up. This year’s leadership team is organizing a multi-team yard sale, an eBay auction, and a Blue Wahoo’s ticket sale.
In reflection of Women Build 2016, our Women Builders were more than delighted: “I thought I was doing something for someone else, but in all reality, what I was doing was for ME. I left that day tired, hot and covered in red dust, but my insides were full because of the pride I felt in making sure my nails went in straight, the boards were measured and cut correctly and the feeling I felt spending the day with other awesome women giving back.” “Women Build is the most fantastic and rewarding thing I have ever been involved in, and I will always recommend and encourage others to get involved.” “I feel like I really made a difference for a mom and daughter.”
Are you interested in learning more about how you can be involved in Women Build? Please send us an email at volunteer@pensacolahabitat. org or give us a call at (850) 434-5456. We’d love to answer any questions you have and we hope you will join us for Women Build 2017 in October!

18 Year Old Pensacola Singer/Songwriter announces Tour Across Eastern US From day one Tate High School Graduate Paul Vinson has had big dreams and in a little over two weeks his biggest dream yet becomes a reality. At 18 years old Vinson has planned, organized, and booked an entire tour stretching over the course of 18 days, 13 shows, and 3,500 miles of driving. Vinson will go as far north as New York City and as far west as Hattiesburg, Mississippi. But here’s the catch, all of the shows are in college dorm rooms. Vinson has been writing and performing his music all over the Greater Pensacola area at places
like Gallery Night, Tin Cow, Bamboo Willies, the Handlebar and others. After graduating High School in 2016 Vinson decided that the route of college wasn’t for him in his pursuit of a music career and now he will be playing shows in college dorms all across the east coast and will be documenting the whole thing for his YouTube Channel. “I had this idea about a year ago now, I thought it was awesome, slightly ironic and I knew it had never been done before. That inspired me to go through with it and to document everything, but all of this dreaming doesn’t come without
a cost.” Said Vinson. With all of the traveling, expenses can really add up for a tour which is typically made up by ticket sales but every show is free entry. “I figure most of my friends in college are broke and to make this work I couldn’t charge for shows.” Says Vinson. So to compensate for the expenses Vinson decided to raise money via GoFundMe which you can donate to here: and in a week’s time with a lot of loving support from fans, friends, and family received almost the entire goal of $1,500. “This goal doesn’t cover all of the expenses but it definitely helps! I
know that nothing you love comes without a cost and I was willing to pay a lot of money out of my pocket to make this happen and with everyone’s love and support those costs became a lot smaller.” Vinson is calling this “The Dorm Tour” and it starts at Troy University March 27th and ends April 14 at Florida State University. Vinson will be debuting all of the songs on his upcoming EP “Leaving Home” which releases early this summer and will also be daily vlogging the experience which you can follow on his YouTube channel, youtube.com/c/ paulvinsonmedia.
Pen Air Employees Surprised Child with a Magic Moment of a Disney Cruise Pen Air Federal Credit Union and Magic Moments surprised 9-yearold Marnice with the news of her magic moment – A Disney Cruise with her family. On Thursday, March 16, the employees of Pen Air presented a check in the amount of $5,000 to Magic Moments to make this vacation possible. The presentation was held in Spanish Fort, Ala at the Pen Air Eastern Shore location. Marnice, diagnosed with multiple illness, including, Diastrophic Dwarfism, Chronic Respiratory Failure, and Postural Kyphosis thought she was accompanying her mother and family to the credit union after school; however, she was surprised with much more. Pen Air has generously provided once-in-
a-lifetime moments for our children year after year as a faithful community partner, and we are beyond grateful,” said Sharon Stokes, Magic Moments Mobile Regional Director. Magic Moments partnered with Pen Air through the Jeans for Generosity program (J4G). Since 2015, $13,250 has been given to Magic Moments to help the organization provide magic in the lives of Baldwin County children with chronic life threatening diseases. J4G is an employeedriven fundraising effort to give back to those in need in our community. Each year, our employees nominate local, non-profit organizations to be voted on as recipients of this philanthropic
program. Funds are raised through payroll deductions and Jeans for Generosity days. The funds raised by the employees are matched by Pen Air and divided equally among the voted charities for the year. Through J4G, the employees have given more than $160,000 since the program began in 2013. By the end of 2017, more than $200,000 will be given back to make a difference. Communerosity is a core value at Pen Air our employees truly live every day. We’re proud to say that $100,000 of those funds came directly from the pockets of our employees. Marnice and her family will enjoy their Disney Cruise this June. Magic Moments is the only wish-granting organization dedicated
exclusively to children in Alabama suffering with chronic life threatening diseases. Founded in 1984, Magic Moments has granted over 4,500 magic moments to children in all 67 counties of Alabama. Magic Moments establishes lasting relationships with the families they serve that don’t end once the magic moment has been fulfilled. Magic Moments goes Beyond the Moment with programs such as their annual Family Camp and regional programs for their children and families throughout the year. Magic Moments works to create a caring support network for its families by not only connecting them to the organization, but to each other. For more information, visit magicmoments.org.
Blue Morning Gallery Presents Selina McKane The current Spotlight on Art Show features the UWF Scholarship Recipient Selina McKane. The show runs through Saturday, April 22. McKane commented on her artistic pencil work stating, “I am fascinated by an image’s ability to exist as a symbol, the idea that a literal and objective representation can be translated subjectively into an abstract thought with the potential to evoke feeling. I strive to develop images that are not just accurate depictions of reality, but give a compelling expression to the subject. My process focuses on understanding the mechanics of the visual world, because the rules of art are a direct reflection of the
rules observed and understood through life.” McKane concluded. Blue Morning Gallery continues to celebrate its 20th Anniversary. Special events will be happening throughout 2017 to commemorate this milestone. Make plans now to join in the celebration- where you meet an artist every time you visit the gallery. Blue Morning Gallery is located at 21 Palafox Place, downtown Pensacola. Hours are Monday-Wednesday 10am5pm; Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10:00 am8:30 pm; and Sunday 12:30 4:00.

$3 million gift to assist UWF students in pursuit of American Dream Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, the University of West Florida will receive more than $3 million to assist deserving students in their pursuit of the American Dream. This transformational gift will establish an endowment for needbased scholarships with preference given to immigrants and refugees and enhance accessibility to higher education for UWF students. UWF enrolled 290 students classified as immigrants in
Fall 2015. With the additional scholarship funds, new student enrollment is projected to increase by approximately 30 percent over the next several years. “Sometimes it amazes me how strong the power of generosity is in our region,” UWF President Martha Saunders said. “This gift will provide needed financial aid to students for generations to come. The donor does not want credit for this incredible act of giving. We are deeply grateful.”
Endowment dollars enable UWF to sustain growth, increase its reputation for quality and compete in the higher education marketplace to attract and retain a talented and diverse student body. Need- and talent-based scholarships to support students within all academic programs improve the lives of students and, in return, the community. “Providing the opportunity for higher education ensures economic prosperity and
mobility for our students as financial barriers can often interfere with academic progress,” said Dr. Meredith Brunen, interim vice president for university advancement. “The foresight of our benefactors is so noble. The ripples of this gift will be felt in perpetuity.” UWF is in the public phase of its 50th Anniversary Capital Campaign, the largest capital campaign in University history.

Capitol News
HOUSE, SENATE FACE $2 BILLION DIVIDE By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
The House and Senate are on track to start budget negotiations with a gap of $2 billion in their proposals, providing fresh reasons for skepticism that lawmakers will complete a spending plan by the scheduled May 5 end of the legislative session. The Senate on Thursday published an initial draft of its budget that would spend $83.2 billion in the year that begins July 1. Shortly afterward, House leaders announced that their spending plan would check in around $81.2 billion. That could set up a collision course between the
two chambers, which will have to decide how much to spend before the smaller details of how to divvy up the money can be hammered out by negotiating committees. House and Senate budgetwriting panels are expected to vote next week on the competing budget plans, which come as state finances are expected to weaken in future years. The state is projecting a small surplus in the fiscal year that starts July 1, followed by a $1.3 billion shortfall the following year and a $1.9 billion hole the year after that. One of the few new details in the Senate plan unveiled Thursday was the outline of a long-promised increase in pay for state workers. The proposal would provide
$219.7 million in raises for employees. Most workers making up to $40,000 a year would get a $1,400 raise, with an increase of $1,000 for those making more. Some workers, including front-line corrections officers and judges, would get larger pay increases. State lawenforcement officers would see their paychecks increase by 5 percent; assistant public defenders with at least three years of experience would receive a 6 percent hike. “For far too long, the honorable and dedicated state employees who guard prisons, protect our highways, care for abused and neglected children, and who provide many other critical government services, have gone
without an increase in their pay,” said Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Latvala, a Clearwater Republican who has made raises one of his priorities. “The Senate budget makes it clear that we value the contributions these public servants make to our state.” House leaders focused on the future impact of their plan, which they said would turn the shortfalls in future years into surpluses. House Appropriations Chairman Carlos Trujillo, R-Miami, underscored a decision to slash about a quarter of $700 million of budget projects that were wedged into spending plans by past lawmakers and draw on year-after-year funding. “For the first time in at least my time up here, we’ve gone

after recurring projects and member projects and have eliminated a substantial amount of them,” he said. But many of those ideas seem destined to run into opposition in the Senate. The House would slash the budgets of colleges and universities, despite Senate President Joe Negron’s focus on boosting higher education in the state. Cuts in health care are also likely to prove controversial in the upper chamber. And the House and Senate remain divided by whether to roll back school propertytax rates to make sure homeowners don’t face larger tax bills even if the value of their properties increase. The House is expected to publish its full budget Friday.
GROUPS RALLY TO SUPPORT EMBATTLED PROSECUTOR
By RYAN RAY THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Supporters of Central Florida State Attorney Aramis Ayala rallied Thursday outside the Capitol, hoping to persuade state leaders to stop “bullying” her, as one supporter put it. More than 100 people rode buses to Tallahassee from throughout the state to take part in the rally to back the embattled Ayala. The Orlando prosecutor made national news this month when she publicly declared she would not pursue the
death penalty for alleged double murderer Markeith Loyd --- or in any other case. On March 16, Gov. Rick Scott promptly reassigned the Loyd case to another state attorney. Last week, legislative budget writers moved to slash her office’s funding to the tune of $1.3 million and 21 positions. Ayala, who was elected last year as state attorney in Orange and Osceola counties, has called the potential cuts “political posturing” designed to punish her for a disagreement over policy, a sentiment her supporters echoed Thursday. “[Ayala] wasn’t afraid to speak
the truth about how broken the death penalty is,” said Christine Henderson, an organizer for Equal Justice USA. “And what does she get in return? Florida’s governor overstepping his authority by trying to put her in her place, trying to take away the power that the people gave to her to fulfill.” But back in Orlando, critics of the state attorney --- led by former law enforcement officials and the families of murder victims --- scheduled their own rally demanding Ayala to be removed from office entirely. Also, Orange County Circuit
Judge Frederick Lauten this week refused to reinstate Ayala as prosecutor in the Loyd case, after Scott reassigned it to Ocala-area State Attorney Brad King, an outspoken proponent of the death penalty. Loyd is accused of killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Sade Dixon, and murdering Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton. Rep. Bob Cortes, an Altamonte Springs Republican whose district includes part of Orange County, has been an outspoken critic of Ayala and continued calling Thursday for further action against the prosecutor.
HOUSE TAKES AIM AT STADIUM PROJECTS By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Sports franchises wouldn’t be able to build or renovate stadiums on publicly owned land under a measure that won House approval Thursday. But while the House voted 82-33 to support the bill (HB 77), the Senate hasn’t been in the same ballpark on the issue. “It’s fine here, but the Senate … a lot of things are not moving over there, so we’ll see how everything shakes out,” said House bill sponsor Bryan Avila, R-Hialeah. The bill is part of an effort by House leaders to limit public assistance to private companies, reflecting a broader philosophical gulf from the Senate on business incentives, tourism marketing and government funding of professional sports facilities.
A similar Senate proposal (SB 122) not been heard in committees, nor has another bill (SB 236) that would seek to repeal a 2014 law that potentially made available $13 million a year for stadium work. “A sports franchise, or a team, is a business. You will be hardpressed to find many cases where the local government has provided publicly owned land to other businesses,” Avila said Thursday on the House floor. “When we talk about economic development, and some people have mentioned this, do they provide as much economic development as let’s say a UPS, a Subway, Domino’s Pizza, McDonald’s, some of these other businesses that are on every corner in the community? How many employees do they employ? How much economic activity do they generate? We do not give them publicly owned land.”
The House during the past few years has virtually ignored the 2014 stadium-funding law, despite the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity saying that applications for EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Sun Life Stadium in MiamiDade County, Daytona International Speedway, Raymond James Stadium in Tampa and a soccer stadium in Orlando had satisfied state requirements. The state agency received just a single application, for Raymond James Stadium, for the current year. Rep. Richard Stark, D-Weston, objected to Avila’s bill Thursday, saying it would prevent local governments from deciding what projects they consider right for their communities. “Taking this away from local communities is just another chipping away that we’ve had continually against home rule,” Stark said.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Miami Marlins, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Rays play in stadiums on publicly owned land. Also publicly owned land is used for all but one of the state’s Major League Baseball spring-training facilities. Opposition to stadium funding has grown since a 2009 deal by Miami-Dade County to borrow about $400 million through bonds for Marlins Stadium that, according to projections, may come to a cost of more than $2.4 billion when the final payment is due in 2048. But Rep. Wengay Newton, D-St. Petersburg, said Avila’s bill, combined with a House plan to eliminate economic-development incentives (HB 7005), “handcuffs the entire state.” “If you take the land away, which is probably all some
“The Capitol is a place for free speech. They can come here and bring their concerns forward,” Cortes said. “I still insist on what I’ve said from the beginning, which is that the governor reassign all of these cases and then suspend the state attorney because of the blanket statement of refusal to handle any death penalty cases.” The NAACP and groups such as Latino Justice, the Florida Council of Churches, Orange County Black Voice, Color of Change, The 8th Amendment Project, and Equal Justice USA helped organize the rally.
of these local governments have … you can forget about growing the state, growing the tax base, creating jobs,” said Newton, whose district includes stadiums. Rep. Kathleen Peters, RTreasure Island, said the proposal could hurt future efforts to emulate plans by Tampa Bay Rowdies owner Bill Edwards, who intends to spend $80 million of his own money to renovate Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg from a baseball field into a Major League Soccer-ready facility. “Why are we shutting down public-private partnerships?” Peters asked. “Why should this gentleman not have the ability to invest $80 million, no taxpayers’ money whatsoever, $80 million to keep this historic integrity and make it a viable stadium, and we then get to benefit from the economic stimulation that comes from that?”
HOUSE REDISTRICTING MOVE DRAWS CRITICISM By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
A measure that would cut off one of the main avenues for challenging legislative redistricting plans was approved Wednesday by a House committee, alarming groups that fought maps struck down by the courts in recent years for political gerrymandering. The measure (HB 953), which was substantially broadened by an amendment filed Tuesday evening, passed the House Public Integrity & Ethics Committee on a 14-3 vote. The Senate has already approved a much-narrower version of the legislation (SB 352) that would set guidelines for what happens when redistricting legal cases are unresolved in election years. But the amendment adopted by the House committee would bar any challenges to legislative maps after a routine review by the Florida Supreme Court. It would also require opponents
of congressional redistricting plans to file suit within 60 days. Rep. Larry Ahern, a Seminole Republican who sponsored the measure, told the committee it would give candidates and voters certainty by suspending litigation as elections neared. “This just says to the courts and to those that might bring suit that they need to do so quickly in order to hopefully resolve it before the qualifying period,” Ahern said. “And then, it really just provides that clarity that says after the qualifying period, everything will be suspended.” The legislation follows a legal war that raged for more than three years after lawmakers approved new legislative and congressional districts in 2012. That was the first time the once-a-decade redistricting process was governed by the anti-gerrymandering Fair Districts Amendments, approved by voters in 2010. The redistricting plan for the state’s congressional delegation was struck down once in the course of the fight,
with the final lines being adopted by the courts. Maps for the state Senate were voided twice: once by the Florida Supreme Court during its routine review in 2012, and another time after a settlement between the Legislature and groups who were fighting the maps. But the Legislature had initially tried to scuttle the second challenge by arguing that the Supreme Court’s routine review, which approved a redrawn Senate map in line with its 2012 decision, essentially barred any further challenges to the plan. The court disagreed, paving the way for the lawsuit that led to the settlement. Thomas Zehnder, an attorney for the coalition of voting-rights groups that fought the Senate map in court, blasted the House amendment in a response sent Wednesday to reporters, calling it “a blatant effort to write the Fair Districts Amendments out of the Constitution and permit the sort of gerrymandering that Florida’s citizens have overwhelmingly forbidden.” Zehnder said an arrange-
ment between political consultants and Republican lawmakers, which the courts found had subverted the process in the case of the congressional maps, would have remained hidden without the more indepth lawsuit that followed the Supreme Court decision. A similar arrangement would have been at the heart of the Senate case had it gone to trial. “There is no discovery in the Supreme Court, and the challengers and court were left to rely on the sanitized public record. ... If that was the end of the process, the conspiracy would not have been uncovered, and the public would be left with gerrymandered legislative districts for a decade without any avenue of recourse,” Zehnder wrote. Zehnder also said a 60day time limit for challenges to the congressional maps, which are not subject to the automatic Supreme Court review, was too short. Those concerns went largely unaddressed at Wednesday’s meeting. The commit-
tee’s Democrats were more concerned with another part of the measure that Zehnder highlighted, which says judges who draw redistricting plans after striking down the Legislature’s map “must be subject to examination.” “It seems to me that this is a little bit of a poke in the eye to the courts for the 2015 actions where they decided to draw the maps,” said Rep. David Richardson, D-Miami Beach. The courts in those cases essentially adopted maps proposed by Zehnder’s clients, including the League of Women Voters of Florida. But Don Rubottom, the top staff member for the House committee, told members the proposed process would simply make sure judges were subject to the Fair Districts Amendments like lawmakers. “This intent language in the Fair Districts Amendments goes to the map,” Rubottom said. “It doesn’t go to legislators. It’s not that legislators can’t do partisan maps, but judges can. It’s the map can’t be partisan.

‘SCHOOLS OF HOPE’ LEGISLATION PASSES INITIAL COMMITTEE By BRANDON LARRABEE THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
A bill aimed at encouraging select charter school operators to move into areas with repeatedly lowperforming schools was approved Thursday by the House Education Committee. The committee approved the measure (PCB EDC 1703), attached to $200 million set aside in the House budget for “Schools of Hope,” on a nearly party-line, 13-5 vote. One Democrat joined the panel’s 12 Republicans in support of the plan. Under the legislation, nonprofit charter school operators with a track record of
performing well academically with low-income students could quickly open a campus in areas where a traditional public school has received a “D” or an “F” on state report cards for more than three years. A total of 115 schools fell into that category in the last school year, according to the State Department of Education. Charter schools are public schools operated by an entity other than the district school board. House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, has called for the state to encourage charter operators like the KIPP Foundation to open additional schools in Florida. KIPP would qual-
ify to operate a “School of Hope” --- the bill was amended to change the designation from “School of Success” --- under the legislation. “We’re spending hundreds of millions of dollars, more than ever before, to say that it is reprehensible that you would take a child and make them stay in a failure factory not for one year, not for two years, not for three years, not for four years, but five years,” Corcoran said later Thursday. “That whole system has to end.” Republicans said the measure was a new attempt to help children trapped in schools that repeatedly seem to fail. “We have tried everything else,” said Rep. Manny Diaz Jr., R-Hialeah. “It is our
moral responsibility to make this move and provide an option for our kids. ... It’s time to try something different. To say `no’ is not enough.” Diaz is chief operating officer at Doral College, an unaccredited institution that offers courses to high school students from schools operated by Academica, a charterschool management company. But the bill faced pointed opposition from educators and Democrats who questioned why lawmakers would give charter schools covered by the bill additional flexibility and $200 million instead of devoting more resources to troubled traditional public schools. “You are saying funding matters,” said Cathy
Boehme of the Florida Education Association, the state’s main teachers union. “You’re saying good strategies matter. And then you turn around and keep those strategies from schools that you could save from these turnaround options.” In impassioned remarks to the committee, Rep. Shevrin Jones, D-West Park, drew on his own experience as a teacher to say that students in many of the communities affected by the legislation face steep challenges that go beyond the walls of the school. “If we sit at this table and we believe that just because we bring in a different entity, that they are going to turn around a school, we are not telling the truth,” Jones said.
SENATE, HOUSE GAMBLING BILLS ‘FAR APART’ By DARA KAM THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
The House and Senate advanced diametrically opposed gambling packages Thursday, setting the stage for the first serious negotiations in years between legislative leaders --- and the Seminole Tribe of Florida --- on the thorny issue. The Senate overwhelmingly approved a gambling proposal (SB 8) that is friendly to the pari-mutuel industry. The bill would allow slot machines in eight counties where voters have approved them, legalize controversial card games at the heart of a legal battle with the Seminoles and allow nearly all tracks and jai alai frontons to do away with live racing or games, a process known as “decoupling.” Hours later, a major House committee supported a more status-quo measure (HB 7037) focused on a 20-year agreement with the Seminoles, called a “compact.” A portion of a 2010 compact that gave the tribe exclusive rights to operate banked card games, such as blackjack, at most of its casinos expired in 2015, prompting a new round of negotiations --- and litigation --- with the state.
But discussions about a new compact failed to gain traction last year, after lawmakers did not approve a deal struck by the tribe and Gov. Rick Scott late in 2015. While the House and Senate now are approaching the complicated gambling issue --- which many have likened to a “three-dimensional game of chess” --- from opposite ends of the spectrum, Republican legislative leaders acknowledged Thursday the packages provide a starting point for lawmakers to work toward a consensus during negotiations. “Right now, I think we’ve demonstrated the two bodies can disagree as to what the fundamentals of a bill can look like, but that doesn’t mean the idea is dead,” House Commerce Chairman Jose Felix Diaz, R-Miami, told reporters after his committee supported the House version Thursday. “We’re very far apart. That’s for sure. They’re almost like alternative bills. I don’t know what our pressure points will be.” Diaz said the House could vote on a gambling proposal as early next week, which would pave the way for formal negotiations between the House and Senate. Senate bill sponsor Bill
Galvano, a Bradenton Republican slated to take over as president of the chamber after the 2018 elections, said lawmakers need to act to provide certainty for the industry and to maximize revenue from the tribe and the pari-mutuels. “We have this ambiguous, unpredictable state of flux out there that needs to be wrangled in,” Galvano told reporters. One of the primary objectives for lawmakers on both sides will be settling at least three pending gambling-related lawsuits. The cases include one in which a federal judge recently sided with the Seminoles regarding the tribe’s ability to continue offering blackjack and other banked card games after the portion of the 2010 compact expired in 2015. Another lawsuit focuses on whether pari-mutuels in counties where voters have approved slots can add the lucrative machines, even without the express permission of the Legislature. And a third centers on a recent decision by a Tallahassee judge approving electronic games that critics, including the Seminoles, argue are effectively slot machines and warn could start popping up in convenience stores, bars and gas sta-
tions throughout the state. Meanwhile, the Seminoles, who want to add craps and roulette at tribal casinos, have warned Scott and legislative leaders the U.S. Department of the Interior, which must sign off on a compact, would not approve any deal that requires the tribe to pay more to the state unless the terms also include additional exclusivity. “I can’t tell you if we’ll ultimately reach a full resolution this session but I can tell you that the major interests and the people who would be part of this resolution --- such as the Florida House, the Seminole Tribe of Florida, the governor’s office --- they also understand that at this point inaction is not an option,” Galvano said before Thursday’s 32-6 vote on the Senate bill. Senators spent less than four minutes on the measure, which sailed through two committees prior to being considered by the full chamber. Galvano told reporters he would “walk away” from any deal that did not resolve the legal disputes. The movement of the proposals before the legislative session’s midpoint --- and the promise of a conference committee to negotiate the
issue, a departure from the past --- cheered the pari-mutuel industry, which has been unable to force lawmakers to approve major gamblingrelated legislation for years. “Obviously, the Senate is going to have to come toward the House position and the House is going to have to come toward the Senate position, and where that middle ground is is still a guessing game to all of us. But the fact that we have two leaders willing to try and hammer this out is something that’s making us all hopeful,” said lobbyist Nick Iarossi, who represents dog tracks in Jacksonville and Melbourne. The additional pressure of the litigation also buoyed the industry’s hopes, Iarossi said. “The House and Senate are both tired of the court dictating what the gaming environment in the state looks like,” Iarossi said. But House Speaker Richard Corcoran told reporters late Thursday any potential gambling deal has “a long, long way to go.” “It’s a heavy lift. There’s a reason it hasn’t been passed in decades. But this is the first time that anyone probably could recall where you have two bills moving,” Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, said.
UNIVERSITIES SEEK TO BOOST MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, SAFETY AND STUDENT AID By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
With major legislation and funding issues at stake in the 2017 Legislature, Florida university leaders arrived Wednesday for a two-day meeting in Tallahassee, making their case for additional support for mental health and safety services, research efforts and student aid. Tom Kuntz, chairman of the Board of Governors, which oversees the 12 state universities, outlined the university system’s “safer, smarter, stronger” campaign, emphasizing efforts to retain and graduate students, improve research and reward institutions that have excelled. Kuntz said performance standards have made a difference in the system. “It has been extremely effective in raising the quality of our institutions,” he said. “Our retention and graduation rates are up. Our students are graduat-
ing with degrees in STEM and other high-demand areas and they are getting jobs.” At a press conference at the state Capitol, university leaders emphasized their request for additional funding to hire mental health counselors and police officers. Eight of the 12 schools fall below staffing standards for mental health counselors and nine of the institutions fall below the standard of having at least two law enforcement officers for every 1,000 students. The universities are asking for a $7 million increase for mental health services and $7 million for law enforcement in the 2017-18 state budget. Timothy Jones, a U.S. Navy veteran who attends the University of West Florida, said counseling services at his school helped him deal with his past as a victim of sexual assault while trying to become a successful student. He said he flunked two classes in his first semester but now is excelling academically and will graduate in May. “Today my life has been
radically transformed,” Jones said. “I was made to feel safe, something every student needs when they come to college.” Funding for the mental health services and other university system initiatives are now part of the ongoing budget debate between the state House and Senate, where the chambers are taking dramatically different paths. According to an analysis given to the Board of Governors, which is holding a twoday meeting at Florida A&M University, the Senate budget would increase state funding for universities by $334 million, while the House budget has a $183 million cut. The House reduction is largely linked to ending the practice of using state funding to support personnel in university foundations, and would require the universities to spend down some of the more than $800 million in reserves the institutions hold. The Senate budget includes major increases for both research and performance funding.
“The Senate budget is very robust and I think they tried to address all the issues that were discussed this morning,” said John Thrasher, president of Florida State University. But Thrasher, a former House speaker, said he understood the House’s position, noting lawmakers cut university reserves once while he was in the Legislature. “I understand their concerns about certain areas of the budget,” Thrasher said. “We have tried to address those and certainly during the (budget negotiating) conference we will address them even more.” The board’s comparison of the House and Senate budgets did not include a $320 million increase in student financial aid in the Senate plan, which includes a $180 million increase in Bright Futures merit scholarships and more than a $126 million boost for need-based assistance. Genevieve Bell, who is finishing her doctorate in neuroscience at FSU, said the “first generation” match-
ing grant program, which the Senate wants to double to more than $10 million, was part of the financial aid that helped her academic career. “I can unequivocally say that, without the scholarships and grants awarded to me, I could not have attended college and most definitely would not be where I am today,” she said. The Senate budget would also increase research funding for the universities, providing $75 million for a new “world class scholars” program designed to attract top-level professors and researchers. Glenn Morris, a researcher and director of the University of Florida’s Emerging Pathogens Institute, said the Zika virus threat has underscored “how important it is to have world-class researchers” at Florida universities. “This is a tropical state. We see stuff here that we don’t see anywhere else, so we need to have the capacity to deal with this,” Morris said. “We have the expertise but we need to continue to build on it.”
