Catching Up with the Coastkeeper written by Hana Frenette photos courtesy Laurie Murphy, The Emerald Coastkeeper Last year, Emerald Coastkeeper Executive Director Laurie Murphy received an email from a woman named Brenda Kinimer who was living along Carpenter’s Creek on Valley Drive. Kinimer was distraught over the trash that had been accumulating on the banks of the creek behind her home—diapers, beer bottles, used camping supplies, pieces of furniture, and several large fallen trees. She’d contacted the City of Pensacola and Escambia County officials in hopes of having them rectify the problems, but was often referred to someone else or was told Murphy walked the entirety of the five-mile creek over the next few months assessing and documenting the problems she encountered. She noted several issues, such as leaking septic tanks, old failing storm water systems, grease traps from restaurants along the creek that were not cleaned out, trash dumpsters out of compliance, homeless camps, significant erosion, flooding and illegal dumping. The once swimmable waterway was grotesquely in need of cleaning, purifying and rejuvenation. “It was quite a problem—the stench was awful, the garbage was a health risk, so much debris and trash needed to be removed,” Murphy said. Murphy noted the meandering stream which empties into Bayou Texar was once a natural and clear creek in the 40s and 50s. “Many families lived along the creek—that was their watering hole—most folks didn’t travel all the way to Pensacola Beach to swim back then. They’d swim, canoe, dive, and spend their time right on Carpenter’s Creek.” Founded in 1999, Emerald Coastkeeper is one of 240 and counting member organizations of the Waterkeeper Alliance. They are a grassroots organization that monitors four main watersheds in the Florida Panhandle. Their mission is to investigate, educate and protect our right to swimmable, fishable and drinkable water. Carpenter’s Creek fit the bill perfectly for the Coastkeeper cause and Murphy and her team began organizing efforts for a major cleanup plan. The first cleanup took place on Dec. 3, 2016. The ECUA donated roll-off containers to house trash from the creek, and the City of Pensacola paid for the removed garbage to be dumped in the county landfill. Roughly 45 people came to the first cleanup, and each subsequent organized clean aver-
the issue wasn’t theirs to deal with. Murphy agreed to make a visit to the woman’s home to analyze where the garbage was coming from. City Assistant Administrator Keith Wilkins and County Natural Resource Director Chips Kirschenfeld met her at the property within a day or two of the email, but neither could help her solve the problem. Later in the week, the logjam and associated trash was removed after the property with the felled tree was found to be City property during Murphy’s investigation.
ages roughly 60-75 volunteers. In addition to human pollution and residential waste, the creek was badly eroded in the April 2014 flood and is currently declared an impaired body of water by the Environmental Protection Agency, creating yet another challenge for volunteers and the waterway. Emerald Coastkeeper has performed three major cleanups over the last year, spanning almost half of the five-mile creek. Volunteers have retrieved bottles and plastic bags, broken electronics, toilets, sinks, car parts and shopping carts. “If you could find it in a landfill, you can find it Carpenter’s Creek,” Murphy said. Murphy noted the number of volunteers typically goes up during the cooler months of the year, and also during the school year, as many college, high school, and middle school students have volunteered their time along the creek. “We love to teach the children the important of maintaining waterways and being careful about where you put your trash,” Murphy said. “Kids are really great, passionate people and they are considerate and they listen and they like being involved, especially with the environment and nature. Then they go home and tell their parents about what they did and what they learned and the information passes along to them as well.” Murphy and her team provide gloves, trash bags, containers, and waders for people who feel more comfortable being protected from the water while cleaning the creek. “You get smelly and dirty, and most of the cleanups this year were very strenuous,” she said. “We’ve removed 18 old, rusty shopping carts and several were so deeply imbedded in the creek bed, that a team of several men spent hours digging them out with shovels.” One shopping cart had been imbedded in the creek so long,
a nearby tree had grown a root base through it—bolt cutters were brought in to remove smaller pieces of the cart at a time. Murphy calculated that more than 3,400 large leaf trash bags of trash have been removed from the creek since last December, amounting to thousands of pounds of garbage. “Recent city code enforcement had helped remove up to nine homeless camps along the creek, and has also been helpful with getting nearby residents to be compliant,” she said. “It takes a lot of people, volunteers, retirees, students, scientists, and city officials to make it happen. Two City of Pensacola city council members, Sherri Myers and Larry B. Johnson, have donated $9,000 to help feed people during the cleanups, provide gloves, rent equipment, and haul large items. We’ve had some truly wonderful sponsors.” Murphy and Emerald Coastkeeper have applied for a RESTORE grant for the amount of 1.3 million dollars, which is in the process of being approved. The grant would provide funding for the hire of an outside entity to complete an official assessment and survey of the creek. The entire restoration of the creek is expected to cost between 10 to 15 million dollars. Murphy has also partnered with city councilwoman Sherri Myers, who plans to bring two proposed ordinances to the council. The first would establish a task force to identify and restore other at-risk waterways within the city, and the second would prohibit businesses, restaurants and apartment complexes from placing trash containers within a certain distance of a waterway. “The city is not fully behind this idea right now, and they don’t really have enough money to take care of all the things we need taken care
of,” Murphy said. “They want to focus more on downtown development— everything is about downtown revitalization, and the rest of the city has forgotten about some of the natural beauty it has to offer. We’re going to go ahead and keep cleaning up and restoring until the money is released to plan further.” While Murphy notes urban development as a cause of the creek degradation, she notes that one of the most common sources of pollution is residential pollution—septic system failure, home chemical dumping from washing cars or improperly disposing of waste, household waste, fertilizers, and animal wastes. Large commercial developments also produce some of the same issues, along with creating impervious pavement, which creates water runoff into the creek and soil. “This level of trash, nutrients and mercury in the water is not a natural occurrence,” Murphy said.“It’s done through urban and residential development and it boils down to not sticking to the comprehensive land development code— the Environmental Protection Agency designated it as impaired—meaning it contains higher or unsafe levels of nutrients and mercury. Unfortunately development is the way for the city to make money. They make money when permits are approved, they get a check—meanwhile, they can never really replace what is lost.” Murphy suggests looking to other regional cities with excellent environmental protections built into their land development codes, like Gainesville and Fairhope, Ala., as models of what to work toward in the immediate future. “Mindful development is very important, and we need to start doing it right,” she said. “If that means raising taxes by a couple of pennies, well—we’re going to spend the money on something anyway.”
Murphy is optimistic about the future health of the creek and hopes in a few years, Emerald Coastkeeper will be able to build two educational centers along the creek in order to teach people about the history and rejuvenation of the waterway. “We’ve found an old English mill from the 1700s that we want to preserve, and we’d like to build several greenways along the creek for hiking and biking,” she said. “We want to not only prevent this body of water from being ruined, but we want to give it back to the community for people to enjoy as well.” All city owned property and homeless camps have been cleaned, with the exception of one large camp located on personal property, which Murphy is hoping to clean up as well. Emerald Coastkeeper is also working with an organization that handles invasive species. On April 28, Grover Robinson and several other county commisioners helped purchase the creek’s headwaters. In early 2018, the county will hire a planner to begin the process of developing a more detailed plan for the RESTORE funding, and the process to fully restore the creek will enter an exciting new phase. In the meantime, Murphy will continue to host community clean ups of the creek, with the next clean scheduled for Sept. 9, off Airport Road. “It’s just so cool to see the amount of the people who show up and how excited they are to give back to the community,” Murphy said. “We’re here for you—to protect you and keep you and your community’s waterways safe.” For more information on Carpenter’s Creek, the Emerald Coastkeeper, or to learn about the health of local waterways, visit emeraldcoastkeeper.org.

Baptist Women’s Center First in Northwest Florida to Offer Infant Safety Software, CertaScan® Baptist Women’s Center is first in Northwest Florida to offer CertaScan®, a security software for digital newborn footprint scans. Historically, footprint identification sheets required placing ink on an infant’s feet, and these prints degraded over time. This non-invasive software provides a complete biometric scan of an infant’s footprints which will be a part of the child’s electronic medical record. CertaScan’s one of a kind system exceeds patient identification standards and works in partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children (NCMEC), and the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN). This infant safety system provides a digital storage platform of newborns footprints for infant identification within the hospital. The newborn’s footprints are saved securely in the electronic medical records and can be used for identification throughout the infant’s hospital stay and for future use. “Baptist Women’s Center is committed to the safety of our infants, and we wanted to demonstrate that commitment by taking
infant security to the next level.” “Our dedication to our community’s children does not end when a family leaves our hospital, but rather extends throughout their lifetime. This technology will, not only provide a beautiful keepsake for parents to save and to share with family and friends, but it will also provide a digital copy of their child’s footprints which will be held securely for parents to access should the need ever arise,” said Rebeccah Vires, MSN, MBA, RNC, Clinical Manager, Baptist Women’s Center.

Cox Communications Reports Economic Impact To The Gulf Coast Cox Communications Gulf Coast operations have supported or created 1,705 local jobs with personal earnings of $83.2 million and paid $21 million in local and state taxes, according to an economic impact study released today. The study, conducted for the years 2013-2015 by University of Florida Professor Hector H. Sandoval, director of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research’s Economic Analysis Program, shows the impact Cox has on the area’s economy. Cox Gulf Coast’s three-county service area includes parts of Escambia, Okaloosa and Walton Counties. With operations in the areas of Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach, Cox employs over 330 in the area with a payroll of $35.6 million. From 2013-2015, as technology has rapidly evolved, Cox has invested over $20 million in Gulf Coast infrastructure, and has plans for over $135 million in upgrades through 2022, which is vital to operating a 24/7, dynamic and complex business that is focused on connecting customers to the things they care about the most. “We are incredibly proud of the millions we spend annually to upgrade our telecommunications infrastructure and provide the leadingedge technology necessary to keep Gulf Coast residents and businesses connected to their world and make their lives easier,” said Anthony Pope, senior vice president and region manager. “Cox is uniquely positioned within our industry with the strength and backing of a national company. We remain committed to giving back to the local communities we serve and investing in future technologies.” Sandoval concurred that economic outputs are not the only benefit Cox contributes to the economy. Homes
and businesses directly benefit from the availability of the fastest internet speeds in the market, a benefit made possible by Cox’s continual investment in system upgrades. “Other fundamental contributions of Cox Communications are the impacts of the broadband infrastructure on the regional economy. The demands for broadband increase with the development of the digital economy and society,” Sandoval said. “Cox’s infrastructure not only provides access to internet supporting the digital era, but the broadband infrastructure also generates positive impacts on productivity, innovation, and firm efficiency that keep these regions competitive and stimulate economic growth.” In addition to the economic impact associated with capital expenditures and ongoing activities, Cox has established itself as a company committed to innovation and diversity in the communities it serves. The study notes that Women in Cable Telecommunications has recognized Cox the top operator for women and DiversityInc has ranked it among its Top 50 Companies for Diversity 11 times. “Cox is known for its pioneering efforts in cable, telephone and commercial services, industry-leading customer care and its outstanding workplaces,” Sandoval said. Cox Gulf Coast also contributed more than $2.9 million in cash and in-kind services to charitable causes between 2013 and 2015, including a $300,000 James M. Cox Foundation grant to the Pensacola Downtown YMCA. Cox employees also sit on over 30 local non-profit boards and committees, and have volunteered over 3,700 hours to the community.

Pensacola State College ranks 3rd among 28 Florida State Colleges Pensacola State College is ranked third among Florida’s 28 public state colleges in the 2017 Top 10 list for Florida, according to Schools.com, an online nationwide resource with a database of more than 8,000 2-year and 4-year institutions. To compile the ranking, the Schools. com organization researched each of the 28 schools in the Florida College System and looked at factors like affordability, graduation rate, university-transfer rate and studentfaculty ratio. In ranking Pensacola State, the Schools.com website notes that PSC has the state’s second-highest transfer rate in Florida’s State University System and offers flexible schedules for busy students, onsite daycare and credit for life experience. The Top 10 list includes: 1-Eastern Florida State College, 2-Valencia College, 3-Pensacola State College, 4-Lake-Sumter State College, 5-Gulf Coast State College, 6-South Florida State College, 7-Chipola College, 8-Palm Beach State College, 9-Pasco-Hernando State College, and
10-Seminole State College of Florida. With Florida drawing national attention for the success of its higher education system, PSC President Edward Meadows says the competition among state colleges is high and it is particularly gratifying to be listed number three in the Top 10. “The Florida College System blankets the state with outstanding institutions that are committed to excellence and student achievement. To be ranked third among our peers is truly an honor,” Dr. Meadows said. “Of course, an even greater satisfaction comes from seeing our students thrive while they are with us and then graduate prepared for a rewarding career.” For the Top 10 ranking, Schools. com collected data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics, Florida Department of Education, and the State University System of Florida, among other resources.

STATE COLLEGE ENROLLMENT SEES UPTICK By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Florida state colleges this year are expected to have their first modest rise in enrollment since 2010. A new state forecast projects a 1 percent growth rate in enrollment in the 28 colleges during the 2017-18 academic year, representing the equivalent of 324,109 full-time students. Each “full-time equivalent” actually represents about 2.5 students, reflecting the fact that 65 percent of the students in the system attend part-time. The projected increase of 3,209 students, which will be adjusted through the year as actual headcounts occur, would represent the first positive year-to-year growth since the fall of 2010, when the system peaked with 375,292 “full-time equivalents,” representing nearly 900,000 actual students. The current headcount is around 750,000 students. But this year’s projected growth is significant in that it is a variation of a pattern of college enrollment increasing when unemployment rises and falling when jobs are plentiful. When the job market tightened as it did during the recession, Floridians had more incentive and time to return to school to improve their skills or develop new ones. But when jobs are plentiful, people have less time and incentive to attend college. This year may be different, as there are signs of rising enrollment in the system even with a strong economy and low unemployment rate. One example is Palm Beach State College, the
fourth-largest college in the system. It was projected to have a 3.1 percent enrollment increase this year, although state forecasters have backed off any projections for individual schools as they refine their estimates. But that number is in line with what has been occurring at the school, where enrollment rose 2.8 percent in the 2016-17 academic year, up from 2015-16. Ava Parker, president of the school, which serves about 35,000 full- and part-time students, said one of the reasons for the growth is a strategic plan to increase enrollment, knowing the added students will bring in tuition to offset flat or decreased state funding and tuition rates that have been frozen to keep costs affordable. “We need to go out and be aggressive about getting students into the door and/or keeping them,” Parker said. She also said local factors influence the enrollment for many schools. In Palm Beach County, Parker said the passage of a local sales tax to build more schools, roads and other public infrastructure has spurred a need for workers to return to school to develop specific skills for construction projects and related trades. State college enrollment is also rising because more students are seeking baccalaureate degrees, which are offered at 26 of the 28 colleges. Enrollment in those programs rose 5.6 percent last academic year, compared to the prior year. But the

students enrolled in four-year degree programs only represent 5 percent of the overall enrollment. At Palm Beach State, baccalaureate enrollment rose by nearly 11 percent last year, with Parker saying the availability of better-paying jobs is providing an incentive for workers to return to school, even if it’s part-time. “The baccalaureate students that we serve are ones who are sitting at their desks, at their jobs, looking through the HR notices and seeing there are opportunities for growth but you need a BS (bachelor of science) degree to get there,” Parker said. Enrollment in two-year or associate degree programs, which represents 67 percent of the overall enrollment, declined by 1.8 percent in 2016-17, compared to the prior year. There was also a 14 percent decline in enrollment for students identified as needing remedial help, constituting 4.3 percent of last year’s enrollment. The decline in the “developmental education” students became a point of contention during this year’s legislative session, as the Senate pushed for budget cuts based on the decreased enrollment, while colleges argued many students still needed tutoring and other help to handle college-level courses even if they were not identified as “remedial.” “The biggest misnomer to me is that folks think you must need less resources,” Parker said. “No. You need the same resources and/or more.”
LATVALA TAKES AIM AT CORCORAN OVER TOURISM By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
Clearwater Republican Jack Latvala, the chairman of the influential Senate Appropriations Committee, may soon be in a gubernatorial fight with House Speaker Richard Corcoran. Neither has formally jumped into the 2018 Republican primary for governor with Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. But Latvala, who has set an Aug. 16 date to announce if he will run for the governor’s mansion, doesn’t appear to be waiting. Speaking Friday before about 75 people at the Rivertown Community Church in Blountstown, Latvala said lawmakers will need to revisit changes --- driven by Corcoran during the 2017 legislative session --- that have created fissures between the state’s tourismmarketing agency and regional tourism groups. And he charged that the changes were more about scoring political headlines than effective legislation. “In the case of that bill, and the House of Representatives’ efforts in the whole economic-development and tourism area, it was all about making political points, all about trying to make headlines, trying to raise your name identification, whatever,” Latvala said. “And what we’ve done is make a product that is going to be very hard to implement.” “And I’m sure we’re going to have to come back next year and work on it a little bit,” Latvala continued. “I don’t know the House speaker understands that or frankly cared. That’s the same House speaker who introduced a bill
that would have eliminated Visit Florida, eliminated Enterprise Florida, eliminated every other economic, 18 other economic-development programs we have in Florida. And I’m not sure he cares.” Corcoran, however, said Friday the changes were about creating greater transparency. “Florida taxpayers demand transparency and accountability,” Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, said in an emailed statement. “The FL House will continue to fight to expand transparency and accountability for the taxpayers. And any elected official who opposes it, does so at their own peril.” Friday’s afternoon meeting in Blountstown, set up by Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, was aimed at discussing economic issues with officials and business leaders from several rural Northwest Florida counties. Montford acknowledged that any meeting, particularly when more than one lawmaker is present, is political in nature. But Montford wanted Latvala to hear about the needs of rural communities that haven’t enjoyed the prosperity that many of the state’s larger counties and regions have experienced in recent years. Education, transportation infrastructure, access to capital and economic growth were all tossed on the table, as well as recent news of the struggles at the state tourismmarketing agency Visit Florida. Homer Hirt, a member of the RiverWay South Apalachicola Choctawhatchee, a regional tourism effort, said a financial-disclosure
requirement in the new state law (SB 2-A) “is a sour point” for local tourism agencies. “That is why you see some like (Experience) Kissimmee, Amelia Island (CVB), Franklin County (TDC) and Visit South Walton pulling back as partners,” Hirt said. Under fire from Corcoran and other House leaders, Visit Florida this year had to fight to keep its state funding from being cut by two-thirds. The agency ultimately avoided major funding cuts. But with lawmakers approving new disclosure rules tied to the state funding, the agency has lost partnerships with at least 12 local organizations. The law requires tourism boards participating in the “Targeted Marketing Assistance Program” to make public local operating budgets; travel and entertainment expenses; and the details of salaries and benefits of staff and board members tied to public and private funds. Latvala’s shot at Corcoran --- who also is widely expected to run for governor in 2018 --- wasn’t his first of the day. Earlier, Latvala implied a new state $85 million economic-development fund won’t be strong enough to allow Florida to compete for a new auto manufacturing plant planned by Toyota and Mazda. “This could bring jobs to FL but cuts in econ. dev. means we likely can’t complete with AL or MS. Think about that,” Latvala tweeted. On Friday, the two Japanese automakers formally announced they would buy 5 percent shares in each other’s companies and jointly
build a plant at an undesignated location in the U.S. where they would develop technology for electric and autonomous-driving vehicles and produce about 300,000 vehicles a year. Corcoran and Latvala had different stances on a request by Gov. Rick Scott for $85 million in business incentives during the 2017 legislative session. Latvala backed Scott’s request for the money. But Corcoran called such incentives “corporate welfare” and even labeled them “de facto socialism. Lawmakers eventually created the “Florida Job Growth Grant Fund,” with $85 million, during a special session. The money is slated to go to infrastructure and job-training programs to help entice businesses to Florida. The job fund was praised by people who attended the Blountstown roundtable. They said some of the money should be set aside for rural counties so those areas can’t be overlooked. “The have-nots, as we’ve been called, need to develop that infrastructure and that training,” said Roy Baker of Opportunity Florida in Marianna. “We need to develop our sites and talents. Site location consultants that move employers to new locations throughout the United States tell us that talent comes first.” Latvala’s appearance highlights the importance of conservative Northwest Florida for Republican politicians. Putnam will be in the Panhandle on Saturday, making an appearance at the annual Possum Festival Parade in Wausau in Washington County.

FEDS SIGN OFF ON MEDICAID MANAGED CARE, `LIP’ MONEY By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
Dealing with two major issues in Florida’s health-care system, federal officials Thursday approved a fiveyear extension of a statewide Medicaid managed care program and finalized a $1.5 billion pot of funding to help with charity care. The announcement by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services was not a surprise: State and federal officials have negotiated for months on issues such as details of the $1.5 billion for the “Low Income Pool” program. But it means that millions of Medicaid beneficiaries will continue receiving care through HMOs and other types of managed-care plans through at least June 30, 2022. Also, it means that hospitals and providers such as federally qualified health centers will be able to tap into a larger amount of so-called LIP money to defray costs of caring for uninsured people. “This (Medicaid managed care)
extension has a positive and direct impact on people’s lives and their ability to access care,” Seema Verma, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, said in a prepared statement. “Florida’s program offers an innovative and realistic pathway to tackling some of Medicaid’s biggest challenges.” After heavy debate, Florida lawmakers in 2011 approving moving to a system that requires most Medicaid beneficiaries statewide to enroll in managed-care plans. Supporters said the system would help improve coordination of care and hold down costs, while critics argued patients could be hurt if managed-care plans put up roadblocks to care. The system fully took effect in 2014, with health plans receiving contracts to serve beneficiaries in different regions of the state. The state Agency for Health Care Administration is in the midst of a procurement process that will determine which health plans are available for beneficiaries in the coming years. A report by state analysts this spring
estimated a Medicaid caseload of 4.14 million people during the 20172018 fiscal year, with 3.37 million in managed-care plans. The remainder will be in a more traditional “fee for service” system that involves direct payments to doctors and other providers rather than the state paying managed-care plans. Meanwhile, Thursday’s announcement on the Low Income Pool came nearly four months after Gov. Rick Scott said the state and federal government had agreed on $1.5 billion in funding for the program. Despite the tentative agreement in April, state and federal officials continued to work out details. The money can go to hospitals, federally qualified health centers, rural health clinics and medicalschool physician practices, according to details of the LIP money posted online Thursday by the federal agency. It can only go to help pay for what is considered charity care provided to uninsured low-income people --- not for care of low-income people who have insurance.
TOURISM CHIEF TRIES TO TURN THE PAGE
By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
After months of negative press and new rules that ended partnerships with a number of local tourism organizations, Visit Florida’s president has started traveling the state to try to rebuild trust with industry officials. Ken Lawson, the president and CEO of the publicprivate tourism agency, said late Wednesday on the corporate blog “Sunshine Matters” that he has started to “humbly” reach out to different groups across the state. “I want to earn your trust and learn from you first hand,” Lawson wrote. “This has been a hard year for all of us.” Visit Florida this year had to fight to keep its state funding from being cut by two-thirds. Also, it dropped the sponsorship of an auto racing team and recently did not continue sponsorship of the British football club Fulham. The tourism-marketing agency ultimately avoided major funding cuts. But with lawmakers approving new disclosure rules tied to the state funding, the agency has lost partnerships with 12 local organizations: Visit Tampa Bay, Visit South Walton, Visit Orlando, the Amelia Island CVB, the Brevard County Tourism Office, Discover The Palm Beaches, Experience Kissimmee, the Florida Keys & Key West Tourist Development Council, the Franklin County TDC, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, Orlando North Seminole County Tourism and the Santa Rosa County Tourist Development Office. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the regional organizations have severed ties with Visit Florida. “We will continue to evaluate sales and marketing opportunities, on a case-by-case basis, for possible integration within our destination marketing plan,” Jorge Pesquera, president & CEO of Discover The Palm Beaches, said Thursday in a statement. Calling for more transparency, lawmakers passed
a measure (SB 2-A) during a June special session that requires tourism boards participating in the “Targeted Marketing Assistance Program” to make public local operating budgets; travel and entertainment expenses; and the details of salaries and benefits of staff and board members tied to public and private funds. Even with the change, 46 tourism organizations have agreed to continue partnering with Visit Florida. “Visit Florida is unequivocally committed to transparency, accountability and efficiency, and we have fully embraced the new measures that help us achieve those standards,” Visit Florida spokesman Stephen Lawson said in a statement Thursday. “Our partners will see new and affordable cooperative marketing programs unveiled in the coming weeks. We are continuing to work to aggressively market our state and meet our goal of attracting a record 120 million visitors this year.” Ken Lawson, who is not related to Stephen Lawson, acknowledged in the blog that the “battle” to maintain funding “was hard and messy.” “It is now time to heal and come together,” Lawson wrote. “As part of this process, I am humbly reaching out to you to hear your story, learn about your challenges, and determine how Visit Florida can help with your future success.” The changes were enacted as past tourismmarketing deals drew heavy headlines and criticism from House Speaker Richard Corcoran, R-Land O’ Lakes, and other lawmakers. There was an $11.6 million deal to sponsor a cooking show hosted by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse. Also, the state had a $2.875 million contract --- about $1 million has yet to be paid --- with an auto racing team known as Visit Florida Racing. When the auto deal was ended in June, Corcoran said the agency “heard us loud and clear and are beginning the process of cleaning up their act.” The most notorious deal was a $1 million contract with Miami rapper Pitbull --- Armando Christian
The $1.5 billion is an increase from $607 million last year, but it is not clear that the entire $1.5 billion will be tapped. The LIP program involves local government sources, such as hospital taxing districts, putting up money that draws down federal funds. The overall amount that will be available will depend heavily on how much money the local sources put up, and some officials indicated earlier this year they did not think the combined amount would reach $1.5 billion. U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., issued a statement Thursday praising the overall announcement as “good news for millions of Floridians.” “The extension will enable our state to continue providing care to Medicaid recipients through a managed care program, and the annual $1.5 billion LIP allotment will provide federal resources to Florida hospitals to ensure the most vulnerable patients have access to quality health care,” Rubio said.
Perez --- from the 2015-2016 fiscal year. That deal was undisclosed until mid-December after the House took the agency to court. Among the provisions in the contract, Perez would do promotional work through a New Year’s Eve celebration in Miami; during at least one live appearance in South Florida; by appearing in a video series encouraging people to visit popular Florida spots; through foreign appearances; and through a video for the song “Sexy Beaches.” Corcoran said at the time people described the video to him as an “objectification of women.” Ken Lawson’s predecessor at Visit Florida, Will Seccombe said --- before being asked by Gov. Rick Scott to resign following the release of the contract --- that Visit Florida received $8.50 in media attention for every $1 invested in the Pitbull program. Lawson was brought to Visit Florida after serving as secretary of the state Department of Business & Professional Regulation. Last week, he was in South Florida, where he took steps such as making a presentation at the International Multicultural & Heritage Tourism Summit, attending a meeting with the National Association of Black Hotel Owners, Operators & Developers and talking with Axel Roy Zeissig, the vice consul general of Germany. “We discussed Germany’s importance to Florida as part of our international efforts, and I gained valuable insight from him into areas of potential growth,” Lawson wrote. In the next two weeks, Visit Florida will release estimates for the number of visitors to the state during the first half of this year. Florida drew 31.1 million visitors during the first three months of the year, the highest number during any quarter in state history, according to the governor’s office. A year earlier, the state estimated 29.8 million visitors during the first three months.
FIREFIGHTER PAY RAISE FIGHT GOES TO SUPREME COURT By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
After a divided appeals court sided with Gov. Rick Scott, a battle about his 2015 veto of pay raises for state firefighters could be decided by the Florida Supreme Court. The International Association of Firefighters Local S-20 filed a notice this week as a first step in asking the Supreme Court to take up the case. The notice of appeal, as is common, does not provide detailed arguments. The notice stems from a June ruling by the 1st District Court of Appeal that rejected arguments that Scott’s veto of $2,000 pay raises for firefighters violated collective-bargaining rights. In a 2-1 ruling, the appeals court said Scott acted within his authority to veto spending items in the state budget --- and that lawmakers could have overridden the veto but did not. The appeals court upheld a decision by the state Public Employees Relations Commission, which dismissed an unfair labor-practice charge brought
by the union. The veto, which was controversial at the time, followed a series of events that included a bargaining impasse on a union request for $1,500 pay raises for the 2015-2016 fiscal year, according to the June 6 appeals-court decision. The Legislature resolved the impasse by including $2,000 raises for firefighters in budget fine print known as “proviso” language. Scott vetoed the proviso language, which had the effect of resolving the impasse by “maintaining the status quo,” the appeals court said. After the veto, the union filed the unfair labor-practice charge, setting off the legal fight. A state law gives the Legislature responsibility for resolving impasses in collective bargaining, but the appeals-court majority focused heavily in the June ruling on Scott’s constitutional authority to veto spending items in the budget. It said the veto “did not displace the Legislature’s power to resolve the impasse in this case.” “(While) it is true that public employees possess important, constitutionally protected collective
bargaining rights, the Legislature cannot force the governor’s hand to approve and sign the GAA (General Appropriations Act, a formal name for the budget), or specific appropriations therein,” said the ruling, written by appeals-court Judge Timothy Osterhaus and joined by Judge Harvey Jay. “The Legislature here retained and exercised its ultimate authority to resolve the impasse after the governor’s veto, but chose not to override the veto and to maintain the status quo.” But Judge Brad Thomas dissented, saying the Legislature’s decision to earmark a total of $1.57 million to resolve the impasse “should be the final result, absent a compelling state interest that cannot be rectified by reasonable alternative means.” “The question at issue here is whether the governor, by using his veto power, may unilaterally vacate the Legislature’s decision to resolve a collectivebargaining impasse,” Thomas wrote in the dissent. “Based on logic, precedent, and the constitutional basis of public employees’ collective bargaining rights, the correct answer is no.”
