Representative Frank White makes a bid BY KELLY ODEN for Attorney General Conservative Lawmaker Frank White recently filed to run for Florida Attorney General. White is currently serving his first term as a State Representative for District 2. Business Climate spoke with White about his political perspective, his work ethic and why he believes he is a perfect fit for the job. Could you tell me a little bit about your personal background and how you ended up in Pensacola? I’m originally a Texan. Mom was a high school English teacher and dad was a chemical engineer. I went to Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas as an undergrad and then for a year I worked in Washington, D.C. for congressman Mac Thornberry (he’s now chairman of House Armed Services). I worked for him for a year in Washington, but knew I wanted to go back to law school. I went back to SMU and got a dual JD/MBA degree. Along the way, I met my wife, Stephanie. She was a Pensacola girl in law school as well. We quickly joined the same study group and started dating and got engaged. We were married our last year of school. We both started to practice law in Dallas in 2007 and life was great. We liked life in Dallas and both of us were pursuing our careers when we decided to start a family. Right out of the gate she was expecting twins, so that was the trigger in life to think about where we wanted to be long term. We both grew up around a lot of family. She has a lot of family in Pensacola, I have some family still in Texas but they are really kind of scattered a little bit, so in that debate we just decided Pensacola was the best place to be. We moved to Pensacola and we now have three little boys. Our twins, Henry and Clayton, are 7 and in the second grade. Our youngest is Wesley and he is 5. Since we moved here in 2010, I’ve worked for the Sansing Group as General Counsel and CFO. What inspired you to get into politics? I guess it was just the passion to serve. I want to make a difference. I’ve been on several boards in the area. I’ve been on the Baptist Hospital Board, Pensacola State College Board, and the Mess Hall Board. I was also involved with Junior Achievement, Leadership Pensacola, and a number of community organizations. I really have a passion to make a difference. I’ve always had an interest in public policy and politics, so when a seat opened up in the state legislature, I jumped in, ran, and won. This is your first term as a State Representative. What has made you switch gears now and throw your hat in the ring for Attorney General? It’s really about the opportunity. The role of the State Representative is very important; it’s a role that involves policy debates. On the other hand, the Attorney General role is an executive role, it’s an executive function. And it’s a perfect fit for my skill set and my interests.

What would it mean for Pensacola if you were to win Attorney General? It would be the first Attorney General elected from Pensacola since 1913. I think for the area, it just means our voice is heard. It means that we have someone who knows the Panhandle’s perspective involved at the cabinet level of the third largest state in the country and arguably one of the most politically important—both as a purple state that’s growing and as an influencer in national affairs.

will be key in stopping this growing trend of opioid abuse. Across the country, states are pushing a lot of different policies to try and make a difference and we’re doing the same in Florida. I was a part of some legislation this last session that enhanced penalties and pushed for more coordination. At this point we need to keep trying different things to try and fix the problem. President Trump’s and Governor Scott’s leadership on the issue is timely and helpful.

What are some of the most pressing issues that you see facing Florida and our region and how would you address those as Attorney General? I think the role of the Attorney General is the chief legal officer for the state. So, it’s really about being dedicated to managing the office efficiently. The office has over 400 lawyers, 2,000 employees and a 300 million dollar budget. So I’ll use my background as part of the management team of the Sansing organization to ensure that the office is run well. Issue wise, my first priority will be protecting Florida’s seniors and families from bad actors in the state. The Attorney General has a lot of authority and discretion to go after bad actors in the market place who are taking advantage of Floridians. Another priority will be defending our constitutional structure. That means if there’s federal overreach or overreach by a state agency, being the one who stands up against it to restore the balance of power and the rule of law.

Human trafficking is a big challenge for Florida, what do you think contributes to the epidemic and how can law enforcement on all levels be proactive about prosecuting perpetrators and protecting victims? I’m very passionate about fighting human trafficking. I’ve helped with legislation on the last session and we’ll be debating some this week in Tallahassee in committees. Human trafficking is a scourge of humanity and it’s sad that it’s still around in 2017. It’s modern slavery. Florida is a growing and very diverse state so it seems to happen here. All of society’s problems will manifest themselves at some point here. It’s a growing state and kind of a crossroads, too. It’s a place a lot of people move to. So, like with the opioid crisis, communication and training of law enforcement and healthcare providers is needed. I think a lot more people are aware that there’s a problem. There are a lot of non-profits involved in directly intervening, so I think more of that is needed.

What do you see as some of the most pressing issues for our region in particular? The biggest issue is insuring that the Triumph Gulf Coast funds are invested wisely by the Triumph Board. Triumph is the entity that determined how the BP oil spill settlement funds will be distributed. We secured the last 75 percent of the settlement in the last session to be dedicated to eight counties across Northwest Florida that had oil on the beaches. We laid out a way that those funds should be invested in our region to diversify and strengthen our regional economy. I’m optimistic. There are experienced people on the Triumph Board and they’re taking their jobs very seriously, as legislators in the Panhandle will of course be watching and if any changes need to be made, we’ll be ready to do so. I think our region is primed for growth. If you look at the rest of the state, the cost of living is higher and long term we face a major challenge in access to fresh water. We have plenty of land in Northwest Florida and fresh water. The future of Florida’s growth, I believe, will be in Northwest Florida.

You mention that you’re a champion for the elderly. Governor Scott’s order that the nursing homes quickly install generators recently lost in court. Do you feel like this kind of humanitarian issue is best handled by the legislature or the governor? I think each has its role to play. Right now in the legislature we’re debating how utility companies prioritize restoration of service after a storm. Personally, I think preserving the flexibility of local emergency management to provide input in those determinations is probably the right approach rather than a one-size-fits-all mandate from the legislature in Tallahassee.

The President’s commission on combatting drug addiction and the opioid crisis recently issued its final report. What current laws do you believe can be better enforced to deal with this and what new initiatives would you propose to help treat those with addictions and also how would you work with other states in multi-state trafficking? The primary way we battle the opioid crisis is coordination across law enforcement agencies and healthcare providers. That communication

Let’s talk about immigration law. What is your take on states enforcing federal immigration law? I don’t know if there’s a direct role for Attorney General in that debate, but I do believe in the rule of law. And society is a fragile construct and when parts of government at any level stop following the law, society breaks down into chaos. In the debate over sanctuary cities, I was a cosponsor of the bill that would’ve stopped local municipalities from declaring themselves sanctuary cities, which would not be enforcing federal law. Even if a government official disagrees with the law, he or she still has to enforce it. John Morgan recently filed a marijuana lawsuit against the state. What are your thoughts about that? I think the lawsuit is a waste of taxpayer

money in defending it. Voter’s intent, as I saw it, was clear: voters believed medical marijuana was a part of compassionate care in Florida. Anytime we’re talking about medicine, we have to be able to control dosage. It’s fundamental in medicine that the provider must be able to control dosage. John Morgan’s lawsuit is about smoking marijuana. You cannot control dosage when you’re smoking marijuana. We heard extensive testimony that dosage control is best with pill form, that it is okay in edible form and in vaping form, but there’s a very little ability to control dosage with smokeable marijuana. If you’re smoking marijuana, you’re not taking medicine because you can’t control how much the body absorbs. Floridians consider marijuana to be a medicine and we voted to provide that right in our constitution to have access to medical marijuana as part of compassionate care. To fulfil that right, we need to ensure that the product in the marketplace is actually medicine and can be controlled. We live in a very divided political climate. How do you bridge that divide amongst your constituents? Personally, I reach out to everybody, to all voters. I do a variety of community events and neighborhood days where I go into the community and I just hear what’s on their minds, irrespective of party label. That’s one way—just being open and accessible. Also, reading my emails. I certainly get a lot from people of all kinds of views. Also, just listening to people—listening to different ideas. I think I’m a reasonable guy and I’m interested in meeting people of all kinds of backgrounds and different views, and if we disagree, we disagree in respectful way. You seem to be very driven and to take your work very seriously. What drives you to be that focused? I guess my time and the privilege of serving this role in the office is limited and I want to use it to make a difference. If my boys will not have their father full time, if my wife will not have a full time husband because I’m travelling, if my employer won’t have a full time employee, then that time away is going to matter. I’m going to use it to make a difference for our area. What do you love about Pensacola? What are some of your favorite places to go to enjoy the outdoors? What’s your favorite meal? I love Pensacola. I love everybody’s usual list of favorite places like McGuire’s and The Fish House. Jerry’s Drive-In is a favorite on the weekends—I love their gumbo. Scenic 90 Diner is a favorite. We love the beach. We also enjoy going out to Perdido with our family. My wife and I are both joggers, we exercise through groups at Running Wild quite a bit. We go to First Baptist Church and have some wonderful friendships through there. Pensacola’s fantastic. It’s beautiful, we have great people and we have a lot of history and culture.

UWF College of Business Executive Mentor Program to Host Its Annual Women in Leadership Conference

Youth Sports Thriving at Escambia County Parks

More than 1,000 local youth participated in football and cheerleading this season at Escambia County athletic parks, offering children and teens opportunities to develop athletic skills and make friends in a fun, structured environment. Through partnerships between the Escambia County Parks and Recreation Department and local youth sports associations, youth participate each fall in football, cheerleading and flag football at several county-owned parks. Escambia County Parks and Recreation Director Michael Rhodes said the department is proud to partner with local athletic associations to offer sports to local youth, and it wouldn’t be possible without the many volunteers who dedicate their time to the programs. “The parks and recreation department knows the importance of youth involvement in athletics and other recreation programs and knows the benefits that can be reaped throughout childhood and teenage years when involved in athletics at a young age,” Rhodes said. “Without the volunteer support and long hours put in by these parents, relatives and friends, youth sports in Escambia County would not thrive as it does today.” And for the kids and teenagers who participate, youth sports represent so much more than just a game, said League Commissioner Brian Reed with the North West Florida Youth Sports Alliance. Just wrapping up its fourth season, the league has about 125 teams in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties with more than 4,000 youth ages 5-14 participating, Reed said. “I don’t think anybody puts enough emphasis on what youth sports does,” Reed said. “It goes beyond just the game…It provides them an activity to do, but I think more than that it’s providing them positive role models, and they’re learning the sport the correct way. I think the guys who are out here involved, they’re out here trying to make a positive influence on the youth.” Reed said the partnership between the league and the county is essential to keeping football and cheerleading programs running, especially when it comes to maintaining fields so the athletes have a safe place to play. The Escambia County Parks and Recreation Department always works hard to keep up the fields and quickly address any issues as they arise, Reed said. “They take so much weight off of my

guys, the guys that are running these parks,” Reed said. “I don’t know what we would do without the parks and recreation department. Anytime I have an issue or one of my parks has an issue, I just pick up the phone and it’s handled. It’s a priceless, symbiotic relationship.” Youth football and cheerleading finished their approximately four-month season in November, and the youth flag football league kicked off shortly after at Escambia County’s Ashton Brosnaham Athletic Park. Along with football teams, each ballpark also has cheerleaders who participate through the Emerald Coast Cheer Association, cheering at each game and taking part in an annual cheer competition. The cheer association has athletes in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties, with participants ranging from ages 4-14. Emerald Coast Cheer Association President Andi DeVito said the program focuses on skill progression, with the rules established to prepare young athletes to enter high school cheer programs. DeVito said the importance of youth cheerleading and other sports is huge, and she hopes to continue to grow the cheer program in both Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. “Kids need to have some kind of organized social interaction, whether it’s a sport or some kind of program to be involved in,” DeVito said. “And being involved in community recreational programs makes those kids a part of our community – they’re our future leaders.” Escambia County provides its facilities to youth sports organizations, and Rhodes said the county is happy to support them in their continuous efforts in the community. “Ultimately, the parks and recreation department is pleased that we can have parks under our purview that offer several options to parents, whether it be tackle football, flag football, cheerleading, lacrosse or other sports,” Rhodes said. “This supports our goal of being involved in youth sports and its tremendous benefits to young people in our community.”

UWF Historic Trust Presents New Third Red Bulb Placed on Fire Exhibition at T.T. Wentworth, Jr. Safety Wreath Museum A structure fire on the 3600 block of County Fire Rescue at 850-595-HERO The University of West Florida Historic Trust announces the Smithsonian traveling exhibition, “Patios, Pools, & the Invention of the American Backyard,” will be on view at its T. T. Wentworth, Jr. Florida State Museum from Dec. 16, 2017 to Jan. 25, 2018. The exhibition will explore the evolution from the front porch to the outdoor living room. Through rare photographs, historic drawings and period advertisements, “Patios, Pools, & the Invention of the American Backyard” explores the mid-century backyard of the 1950s from the rise of the suburbs and tract houses and the beauty of postwar garden design to the birth of the environmental movement. Drawing from the collections and research of the Smithsonian Gardens’ Archives of American Gardens, the exhibition is organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, known as SITES. In the 1950s, America was a nation emerging from the shadow of World War II, searching for ways to enjoy its newfound peace and prosperity. Postwar trends such as the baby boom, a growing middle class, the do-it-yourself concept and a dramatic rise in homeownership remade much of the U.S. and contributed to the development of the suburban backyard. The midcentury backyard became an extension of the house, a room designed for relaxing, recreation and entertaining. Private backyard pools were an affordable luxury for many, and the patio became the perfect

place for a backyard grill and patio furniture made with new materials like plastic and aluminum. Companies produced an increasing number of products designed to lessen the burden of yard work. Imported and hybrid grasses, herbicides and pesticides, automated sprinkler systems, chemical sprayers and newly affordable lawn mowers began to appear in sheds and garages around the nation. Many contemporary backyards still boast the pristine lawn, low-maintenance plantings, patios, outdoor furniture, grills and play equipment that first emerged after World War II. SITES has been sharing the wealth of Smithsonian collections and research programs with millions of people outside Washington, D.C., for 65 years. SITES connects Americans to their cultural heritage through a wide range of exhibitions about art, science and history, which are shown wherever people live, work and play. Smithsonian Gardens care for living plant, artifact and archival collections. Its Archives of American Gardens collects and makes available for research use images of and documentation relating to a wide variety of cultivated gardens throughout the U.S. In this way, AAG strives to preserve and highlight a meaningful compendium of significant aspects of gardening in the U.S. for the benefit of researchers and the public today and in the future.

West Cervantes represents the third red bulb on the “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety wreath. Escambia County Emergency Communications received a phone call reporting the residential fire at 2:50 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 9. Crews arrived on scene at 2:55 p.m. to find a working fire with flames showing from the entire front of the single family home. Escambia Fire Rescue called the fire under control at 3:50 p.m., with the home damaged approximately 75 percent from smoke and fire. The fire displaced five adults and two children who are being assisted by the American Red Cross. No injuries were reported in part by the home having multiple working smoking detectors. The Florida State Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the fire. If your home doesn’t have a working smoke detector please, call Escambia

(4376) or 850-436-5200 for city of Pensacola residents. The “Keep the Wreath Green” fire safety campaign is a collaborative initiative with the city of Pensacola to promote fire safety during the month of December. During the month-long campaign, five-foot wreaths are on display at 18 county fire stations and five city fire stations, with wreaths also placed outside Escambia County’s Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building downtown, the Escambia County Public Safety Building, Pensacola City Hall and Cordova Mall near the food court entrance. Each time firefighters respond to a residential fire with damage, a green light bulb will be replaced with a red one to remind citizens of the dangers posed by fires in residential home.

PEDC Presents Two Triumph Projects to the Escambia BOCC Under the leadership of Chairman Lewis Bear, Jr. the Pensacola-Escambia County Promotion & Development Commission (PEDC) presented two significant economic development projects to the Escambia County Commission at their November 30, 2017 meeting. The first, was a request for county support of an application to the Triumph Gulf Coast Board for $8 million in funding which would be used for the construction of a new industrial boulevard for the northern Beck's Lake Road segment of the "Bluffs". The Bluffs of Northwest Florida is our 6,000+ acre masterplanned industrial campus suited for energy intensive industry. Highly accessible, this multi-modal campus is a nexus for the regions high wage manufacturing job creation strategy near the I-10 corridor with road, rail and barge service. To date the PEDC has received $8.4 million from the State of Florida for the Bluffs master plan development, site connectivity and infrastructure improvements.

The second request was for the support of the University of West Florida’s application for $27.5 million in Triumph Gulf Coast funding. The funds would be used to develop programming and facilities to cultivate emerging high-tech industry sectors of cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence and robotics tied to a new UWF Innovation Network. The center piece of the Network will consist of a new Cybersecurity Innovation Center and Advanced Manufacturing Laboratory located on the Pensacola Technology Campus. This project is a great partnership between the public sector, education, and numerous private sector companies. As the administrative agency for PEDC, FloridaWest wants to thank the Escambia County Commission for their vote of support and partnership for the Bluffs Triumph funding request and for designating the UWF Innovation Center as a top “shovel ready ‘priority project for Triumph funding recognizing the significance it will have on the entire region.

STATE FACES SHORTFALL IN CHILDREN’S MEDICAL PROGRAM

By CHRISTINE SEXTON THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

A Medicaid program that pays health-care costs for some of the sickest children in the state has an estimated $25 million budget shortfall, a key lawmaker said Monday night. House Health Care Appropriations Chairman Jason Brodeur, R-Sanford, told The News Service of Florida that the estimated deficit in Children’s Medical Services funding for fiscal year 2016-2017 was caused by higherthan-anticipated medical costs of the children served in the program. The costs, he said, exceeded projected estimates and will have to be addressed when lawmakers draw up a budget during the 2018 session. Mallory McManus, a spokeswoman for the Agency for Health Care Administration, said costs for inpatient and outpatient hospital care, nursing care and home health care were higher than initially anticipated. The Children’s Medical Services Network plan, which is a type of managed-care program, enrolls about 51,000 children. It is based on a per-member, per-month cost estimate and paid in advance for each eligible child. The state reconciles the CMS network plan bills a year after the end of each fiscal-year quarter and submits a budget amendment to the Legislature for approval. Legislative leaders recently approved a $141 million budget amendment for the period from October 2016 through December 2016. McManus said the state this year adjusted its estimates upward by nearly 17 percent and that it doesn’t anticipate any shortfalls for the current fiscal year, which provides

funding from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. “Ensuring that children get the services they need is our number one priority, and AHCA has taken aggressive action to update our processes for calculating these payments,” she said in a prepared statement to The News Service of Florida. The state has grappled with the costs of caring for children who are medically complex and who have special health-care needs and, as a result, qualify for the Children’s Medical Services program. CMS, before the creation of the managed-care plan, was a network of specialists across the state who agreed to treat children with conditions such as heart disease, cleft palates or spina bifida. Reorganizing the Children’s Medical Services program was a priority for the Scott administration after costs began to soar, increasing by nearly $100 million between 2010 and 2014. To reduce enrollment, the Department of Health in 2015 started using a five-question parental screening tool. One of the questions asked, “Is your child limited or prevented in any way in his or her ability to do the things most children of the same age can do?” If parents answered “no,” their children were removed from the program and placed into an HMO instead. More than 9,000 children were removed from the CMS program and placed into traditional Medicaid managed-care plans before a judge ordered the state to stop. The state subsequently adopted a new screening tool and started using a form that allowed for input from physicians. Children who were not screened out remained in

the CMS program, which was transformed into the CMS Specialty Medical Services Network plan. But enrollment in the program has dipped from more than 61,000 in July 2015 to less than 51,000 in November 2017, according to state enrollment figures. Brodeur said the state did the right thing to screen healthier children out of the program. “Children of lower acuity that shouldn’t have been in that program as they should have never qualified for the program in the first place,” he said. ” Many who have moved back to managed Medicaid are doing better because that’s the more appropriate plan.” Tallahassee pediatric cardiologist, Louis St. Petery, though, said some unnecessary obstacles and delays to enrollment remain. He currently is trying to get eight newborns who are in a Medicaid HMO into the CMS network plan. St. Petery maintains that the CMS network plan provides a better medical home for sick children than the traditional managed care plans and makes it easier to treat them. As a cardiologist, St. Petery often orders echocardiograms for his patients. The traditional Medicaid managed-care plans require prior authorization before the tests can be conducted, but the CMS plan does not. “They approve the test 100 percent of the time, but they make me run through a mother-may-I-hoop,” St. Petery said of the Medicaid HMO plans. And while Medicaid officials say that managed-care plans provide nurse case managers to their patients, St. Petery said that he has “never seen or even talked to such a person in those plans.”

a judge should be disqualified from a criminal case because of being Facebook friends with a prosecutor. “The Third District Court of Appeal’s opinion, therefore, creates completely different standards for judges in Florida, depending on which district the judge sits in, to determine when and whether they are violating the Florida Code of Judicial Conduct,” the brief said. “This is untenable for both judges and the public perception of the judiciary. The application and interpretation of the Code of Judicial Conduct must be uniform for all judges in the state of Florida.” Attorneys for the insurance company, however, filed a brief urging the Supreme Court to turn down the case. They argued, in part, that the Herssein case has different circumstances from the earlier case involving a prosecutor. “Further, petitioners (the Herssein Law Group) are sophisticated litigators who have practiced in MiamiDade County for many years,” the insurance-company brief said. “It is highly questionable whether any reasonably prudent person in petitioners’ situation would have a well-founded fear of not receiving a fair

and impartial trial simply because the trial judge and Reyes are Facebook `friends.’ “ The Supreme Court, as is standard, did not explain its reasons for deciding to take up the case. It said it would schedule oral arguments in a separate order. In its ruling in August, the 3rd District Court of Appeal concluded that “a `friend’ on a social networking website is not necessarily a friend in the traditional sense of the word.” “To be sure, some of a member’s Facebook `friends’ are undoubtedly friends in the classic sense of person for whom the member feels particular affection and loyalty,” the decision said. “The point is, however, many are not. A random name drawn from a list of Facebook `friends’ probably belongs to casual friend; an acquaintance; an old classmate; a person with whom the member shares a common hobby; a `friend of a friend;’ or even a local celebrity like a coach. An assumption that all Facebook `friends’ rise to the level of a close relationship that warrants disqualification simply does not reflect the current nature of this type of electronic social networking.”

has argued in the past that people are motivated to travel more by their personal finances than by state marketing. But the increased visitor numbers seemed to hold some sway for Negron. “From the meetings I’m having with tourism officials throughout the state, they report a very strong industry,” Negron said. “I’ll let other folks determine the amount. But apparently what we’re doing is working. I certainly don’t want to unilaterally disarm in the tourism space. That’s a very important part of our economy, and we’re competing with the rest of the world.” Meanwhile, several Democratic members of the Senate Transportation, Tourism and Economic Development Appropriations Subcommittee said Thursday they’d like to see how the money in the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund is used before agreeing it should be replenished next year. “You expect us to grant this request before we have any information on the outcome from what you’re proposing,” Sen. Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, said. Among the concerns is how the grants may be spread across the state. “I know that in my community there has been some proposals, but if it turns out that you put all of those projects in Sen. (Bill) Galvano’s (Manatee and Hillsborough counties) district and none in mine, then how are we going to address that if we’ve already voted to give you an additional $85 million,” Thurston said, referring to another member of the subcommittee. The program, created in June during a special session, had attracted 217 proposals worth a combined $791

million as of last Tuesday. The fund, established as a compromise to Scott’s initial request for Enterprise Florida to get $85 million to help attract businesses to Florida, requires the money go to regional projects rather than single businesses. Among the largest requests: --- Hillsborough County, Apollo Beach Boulevard extension. A $33.6 million project along the “I-75 Job Corridor” linking U.S. 41 and U.S. 301 over the interstate. Request: $23 million. --- State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota STEM campus. The proposal seeks money to help secure land and make other improvements needed to support a campus. Request: $22.44 million. --- Marion County, Crossroads Commerce Park. The $272 million project, encompassing more than 900 acres, is envisioned as having distribution, warehouse and manufacturing facilities. Request: $22.24 million. Cissy Proctor, executive director of the state Department of Economic Opportunity, defended the pace of the application review process. Proctor said Thursday the department, reviewing the proposals with Enterprise Florida, will make recommendations for the governor to consider “as appropriate.” We are “working as fast as we can, but understanding that we need to have accountability,” Proctor said. “We have to have strong contracts around these proposals. We need to have strong return on investment.” Proctor said money allocated for a specific budget year would be available for five years but only toward the projects approved in that fiscal year.

SUPREME COURT TO RULE ON JUDGE, FACEBOOK FRIEND By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

With potential ramifications in courthouses across the state, the Florida Supreme Court on Monday said it will take up a dispute about whether a judge should be disqualified from a case because she is a Facebook friend with a lawyer. Justices issued an order saying they will consider an appeal of an August ruling by the 3rd District Court of Appeal that rejected a request to disqualify MiamiDade County Circuit Judge Beatrice Butchko. The dispute stems from Butchko being a Facebook friend of attorney Israel Reyes, who was hired to represent an insurance-company executive in a case before her. The Herssein Law Group, which had sued a former client, United Services Automobile Association, for alleged breach of contract and fraud, is seeking the disqualification. In a Supreme Court brief filed in October, the Herssein Law Group said the 3rd District Court of Appeal ruling conflicted with an earlier decision of the 4th District Court of Appeal that said

NEGRON SUPPORTS SCOTT ON `JOB GROWTH’ FUND By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Senate President Joe Negron backs a still-untapped $85 million “job growth” fund created this year, as Democrats continue to question the need to replenish what critics have called a “slush fund” for the governor. Negron, R-Stuart, offered support for Gov. Rick Scott’s 2018 budget request to set aside another $85 million for the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund. Negron was less specific about whether lawmakers should meet Scott’s request to spend $100 million on the tourismmarketing agency Visit Florida. “I’ve always been supportive of the Job Growth Fund and supportive of the governor’s economic development initiatives,” Negron said Friday during an interview with The News Service of Florida. “With regard to Visit Florida, the exact amount I’ll leave up to the individual committees and members to make that decision. But I don’t think you can argue with the results.” Scott’s tourism-marketing request would represent a $24 million increase from the current year, an increase that has drawn skepticism from some lawmakers. Visit Florida President and CEO Ken Lawson said Wednesday before the House Transportation & Tourism Appropriations Subcommittee that the agency has seen annual visitor counts grow from 87.3 million in 2011 to more than 112 million last year, in part because of lawmakers boosting the public-private agency’s funding from $35 million in 2011 to $76 million in the current fiscal year.

FLORIDA DEMS CHOOSE NEW LEADER By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Terrie Rizzo, who began her political career as a campaign volunteer a little more than a dozen years ago, was selected Saturday by Florida Democrats to lead their party for the next three years. Rizzo, chairwoman of the Palm Beach County Democrats, easily beat Brevard County Democratic Chairwoman Stacey Patel in an 830-291 vote by the party’s executive committee at the Rosen Centre Hotel. Rizzo replaces Stephen Bittel, who was elected as the party’s chairman less than a year ago but abruptly quit last month after being accused by female workers and consultants of creating an uncomfortable work atmosphere. Rizzo has been the chairwoman of the Palm Beach Democrats since 2012. In her acceptance speech, she said she began her journey in the state party as a volunteer on John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004. She later won election as precinct committeewoman and then as the county vice chairwoman, before becoming the leader of the Palm Beach Democrats shortly before the 2012 presidential election. “This is what the Democratic Party should be like, where people can start at the bottom and rise to the top,” Rizzo said, adding she was “overwhelmed and very humbled” by her election. At one time, four major candidates, all women, were vying to replace Bit-

tel. But within the last week, Monica Russo, the statewide head of the Service Employees International Union, dropped out, criticizing the byzantine party rules governing the process. Russo endorsed Patel. On Saturday the field narrowed to two candidates, when Alma Gonzalez, a state committeewoman from Hillsborough County, threw her support to Rizzo. With the Democrats trying to reclaim the governor’s office and defend U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson’s seat next year as well as contend for state Cabinet seats and a host of legislative races, Gonzalez said party unity is critical for success. “The reality for us is to recover and re-engage and regain our momentum. We cannot be divided in this party,” Gonzalez said. “There are external forces coming at us and we must be focused on that rather than on the inside.” The margin of Rizzo’s win over Patel does not obscure the fact that party activists remain divided, going back to division between the two Democratic presidential candidates in 2016, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Patel, a Sanders delegate to the Democratic National Convention, said she looks “forward to talking to Terrie and figuring out the road forward.” “This is our party and we’re not going anywhere,” Patel said, saying she ran for the leadership post to make sure

“the voice of the people is heard and not just the voices of the people who have been given power in the party.” Rizzo, who in her prior role as the head of all the county Democratic party leaders has worked with Patel, said she will reach out to all the factions in the party including the Sanders supporters. “We need that voice moving forward,” Rizzo said in an interview with The News Service of Florida. “We all have common values. It’s just a matter of how you get there.” As for taking over a party organization after the last leader was accused of inappropriate behavior, Rizzo said: “There will be zero tolerance for sexual harassment moving forward. We will review it and institute policy procedures to handle that.” Rizzo also acknowledged other problems, including lagging finances for the state party. “There are obviously some challenges,” she said. Rizzo’s supporters note that when she took over the Palm Beach organization, the local party was in debt. In the 2016 cycle, Rizzo helped raise over $600,000 for her county party operation, without using paid staff or consultants, according to the state party. Christian Ulvert, a veteran Democratic strategist, said he has been impressed by Rizzo’s work in Palm Beach, which has the third highest number of registered Democrats in the state.

“She can replicate a successful (county) model at the state level,” he said. Ulvert, who is advising Democratic gubernatorial candidate Philip Levine, said Democrats have been successful in 2017 races, including a state Senate seat in Miami-Dade County, by “tapping into the anxiety voters feel over President Trump’s agenda.” “I think Terrie is well positioned to understand that strategy and also offer a forward-looking vision that Democrats can really rally around,” Ulvert said. “She’s done it in Palm Beach.” Rizzo, 70, spent more than four decades working in health and fitness fields, including managing health and fitness education programs at Stanford University. She and her husband, Mike, have been married more than 45 years. They have a married son and two grandchildren, who live in California. As part of the election process, Florida Democrats also made history on Saturday by electing Judy Mount, the former vice chairwoman of the state party, as the interim party chairwoman. Mount presided over Rizzo’s election. Mount is the first African-American woman to lead the Florida Democrats, said Johanna Cervone, a spokeswoman for the state party. “We are grateful for her dedication and leadership,” Cervone said.

PROPERTY TAX MONEY COULD BE KEY IN EDUCATION BUDGET By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Education Commissioner Pam Stewart told a Senate budget panel Thursday that funding would be “woefully short” next year if lawmakers do not use an increase in property tax collections to support schools. Gov. Rick Scott’s proposed budget for 2018-2019 includes a $200 increase in per-student funding for the kindergarten-through-high-school system. Scott wants to increase the overall K-12 budget by $770 million, which includes a $450 million increase in “required local effort” property taxes. While the amount of collections would go up, the school districts would retain the same tax rate. The increase in collections would be the result of rising property values and new construction. House leaders have successfully opposed using the increase in so-called RLE tax collections the past two years,

arguing such a move would represent a tax hike. The projected increases were offset by tax-rate reductions in the last two state budgets, forcing lawmakers to shift other state money into schools to boost funding. In a meeting of the Senate Pre-K-12 Education Appropriations Subcommittee, Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, asked Stewart about Scott’s proposal to maintain the RLE rate to provide more school funding next year. “Should property taxes increase as we expect they will, that allows us to be able to increase this budget to historic levels of state funding, total funding and per-student funding,” Stewart said. Under Scott’s proposal, total K-12 funding would increase to $21.4 billion, including $11.9 billion in state money. Per-student funding would increase to $7,497, up from $7,297 in the current year. “We would find ourselves unable to do that if we did not leave the RLE

(rate) at the current level,” Stewart said. “And we would find ourselves woefully short because there is not enough state funding to be able to bring those increases.” “Is it safe to say in terms of the K-12 budget if we continue to do what we’ve done in the last two years we will be in trouble?” asked Montford, a former Leon County superintendent of schools who also heads the Florida Association of District School Superintendents. “That’s right,” Stewart replied. Other elements of Scott’s school budget that depend on more money include $198 million needed for a projected increase of 27,000 students next academic year. Scott also wants an $18 million increase in a program that funds classroom supplies for teachers. Teachers would get $350 a year for the supplies, an increase of $100 over the current level. Lawmakers will debate the new state

budget when the 2018 legislative session begins next month. Stewart also gave the Senate subcommittee an update Thursday on students who are coming to Florida from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where communities were devastated by Hurricane Maria. As of last week, Stewart said districts had reported 8,960 students enrolling from Puerto Rico and 820 from the Virgin Islands. Overall, Florida has more than 2.8 million students in its 67 districts. Orange County had the most enrollments with 2,396 students from Puerto Rico and 321 from the Virgin Islands. Osceola County had the largest percentage enrollment increase at 2.1 percent, representing 1,363 students from Puerto Rico and 21 from the Virgin Islands. Stewart said the Florida Virtual School, which provides online classes, has had a 5 percent enrollment increase, representing 331 students.

FOREVER FLORIDA, ST. JOHNS PROPOSALS GET SENATE BACKING By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA

OF

Measures that would double Gov. Rick Scott’s spending request for the Florida Forever conservation program and earmark money to improve the St. Johns River continued to move easily through the Senate on Thursday. The Senate Environment and Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee unanimously backed a proposal (SB 370) to designate $100 million a year for Florida Forever. Also, it approved a bill (SB 204) that would increase annual funding for springs projects from $50 million to $75 million and set aside $50 million a year for the restoration of the St. Johns River, its tributaries and the Keystone Heights lake region in North Florida. Both proposals are sponsored by

Sen. Rob Bradley, a Fleming Island Republican who is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which will hear the bills next. “Our state is known for a lot of things, but the character of the state, the true character of the state is defined by its rivers, it’s beaches, it’s springs,” Bradley said. “We have an obligation to make sure future generations enjoy those wonderful gifts we get to enjoy.” Neither proposal has a companion bill in the House. Scott requested spending $50 million on Florida Forever as part of his proposed 2018-2019 budget released last month. Money for both Senate bills would come from the state’s Land Acquisition Trust Fund. Voters in 2014 approved a constitutional amendment that requires a portion of real-estate “documentary stamp” tax revenues to go toward land and water conservation, with the mon-

ey funneled through the trust fund. That portion of the documentarystamp tax is expected to generate $862.2 million next fiscal year, according to an August estimate by state economists. Lawmakers in the past have carved up part of the annual funding so at least $200 million goes for Everglades projects, another $64 million goes for a reservoir in the Everglades Agricultural Area south of Lake Okeechobee and $5 million goes to the St. Johns River Water Management District for projects dedicated to the restoration of Lake Apopka. But they have also used the money to cover agency expenses, which backers of the 2014 constitutional amendment contend is not allowed. Bradley has said a review needs to be done to determine how much of the trust fund goes into agency overhead.

Sen. Linda Stewart, D-Orlando, said she was “proud” to be able to vote for Florida Forever bill, which would use the money “the way the voters had hoped to see it funded.” The Florida Forever program was created in 1999 as a successor to an earlier version known as Preservation 2000. Since 2001, Florida Forever has been used to purchase more than 718,000 acres for $2.9 billion. But the program has languished since the recession and as some key legislators have questioned the need for Florida to buy more land while struggling to manage the acres it already owns. Lawmakers didn’t direct any money to Florida Forever for the current fiscal year, which began July 1. Bradley’s bills are filed for the 2018 legislative session, which starts next month.
