OWA
Fun comes to foley
The Gulf Coast has always been known as a vacation destination, and part of that reputation comes from the small water and amusement parks that run up and down along the coast. However, the closest large-scale amusement parks require a weekend trip to central Florida or further west to Louisiana or Texas in order to enjoy the spills, thrills and chills. That will all change in mid-summer 2017, as OWA finally opens to the public. Located in Foley, Ala. and owned and operated by the Creek Indian Enterprises Development Authority, or CIEDA, in conjunction with the city of Foley, OWA is designed to further cement Foley as a vacation destination across the Southeast. “We are taking a great deal of pride turning this vision of OWA into a reality,” said Kristin Hellmich, OWA’s Marketing and Public Relations Director. “It could not be possible without the efforts by our exceptional construction and design teams as well as local and state governmental agencies.” OWA is derived from a Muscogee word meaning ‘big water,’ an appropriate name as a majority of the entertainment complex is built around a 14-acre lake. Since the groundbreaking in 2016, CIEDA has been working with PGAV Destinations of St. Louis for much of the park’s design – they have previously worked on theme parks such as Busch Gardens, SeaWorld and Universal Studios. They have also contracted STOA Architects in Pensacola for other design needs and the actual construction of the facility. “We knew that over 6.2 million people visit the beaches and Tanger outlets yearly, so we wanted to make it into a destination,” said Veronica Bishop, the Public Relations Coordinator for OWA. OWA is set to be divided into three themed areas, each with its own feel and purpose. The first is called the Ware-
house District – modeled after turn-ofthe-century cotton mills and processing plants. Being mostly retail space, these large buildings are meant to evoke a time of industry and progress. The Warehouse District will also contain a new Marriot TownePlace Suite, containing 150 rooms and designed to fit the feel of the industrial area. Next is the Downtown District, which emulates the style of a Southern main street, with its intimate shops and broad avenues. “We modeled it after our Baldwin County heritage,” said Bishop. “We went to Baldwin and used elements of downtown streets from cities like Atmore, Foley and Fairhope.” The final area is the Amusement Park, and it may be the most anticipated portion of OWA. The Park Contains over 20 rides
designed and constructed by Italybased ride manufacturer, Zamperla. The rides range from swinging chairs to tea cups and beyond. The highlight of the amusement park will be a brand new steel rollercoaster called Rollin’ Thunder. With around 681 meters of track, four inversions and a top speed of 56 miles per hour, USA Today has called the ride one of the most anticipated coasters of 2017. “The only other type of its kind is in Coney Island,” said Bishop. In addition to the parks, OWA will contain a 90,000 square foot event center, 44,000 square feet of initial retail space, a 400-seat amphitheater and a two-acre island in the middle of the 14-acre lake. This entire phase of construction is set to cost $260 million, and is nearing completion.
This is not the end of the line for OWA, however. After the initial opening, work will begin on Phase Two of the construction. This will consist of a second hotel, a full water park, condominiums and an RV park. Though construction on Phase Two hasn’t yet started, plans are underway. “The whole theme of this destination is one of ‘Southern Hospitality’,” said Bishop. “We wanted to keep it very authentic, but reinvent the ideas and modernize it.” Luckily, OWA will be low cost to enjoy. Admission is free to the OWA property and parking will be complimentary, but the Amusement Park will have a general admission that allows access to all the rides and fun within. There will be other charges for activities like boat rentals and similar events, but park organizes ensure the cost will be light on your wallet. Bishop said OWA is designed to be an extension to what Foley already has to offer. For example, the event center is set to open adjacent to the Foley Sports Tourism Complex – an existing structure that houses 16 state-of-the-art, multi-use sports fields, including TVready lighting and a 1,000-seat stadium. “All hands are on deck to ensure OWA’s opening exceeds the expectations of visitors and residents of coastal Alabama alike,” said Hellmich. “And it’s all orchestrated by CIEDA, an authority of Poarch Band of Creek Indians.” OWA is set to open Phase One in mid-summer of 2017. Phase Two is expected to follow soon. For more information on OWA, including its features, construction progress and employment opportunities, visit visitowa.com or call 251-9232111.

RESTORE MYIP Public Comment Period Opens June 5 The Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act of 2012, or RESTORE Act, and U.S. Department of Treasury’s regulations direct Escambia County to prepare a MultiYear Implementation Plan that prioritizes eligible activities for Direct Component funds awarded to the county through the Deepwater Horizon Settlement and RESTORE Act, and to obtain broad-based participation from individuals, businesses, Indian tribes and non-profit organizations as part of plan preparation. The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners established the RESTORE Advisory Committee in 2012 to gain input from Escambia County citizens to develop a Needs Assessment, Selection Criteria and rank project submittals to the Project Portal. The BCC then shortlisted the following ten projects in February 2017 to include in the initial MYIP: • Carpenter Creek Revitalization Plan • Eleven Mile Creek Basin
•
Eleven Mile Creek Restoration • Hollice T. Williams Stormwater & Recreational Park • OLF8 Commerce Park Improvements • Perdido Key Gulf of Mexico Beach Access • Perdido Key Multi-Use Path • Project Universal Access • SOAR with RESTORE • South Dogtrack Drainage In preparation of submitting the final MYIP, Escambia County is accepting public comment for a period of 45 days for those projects included within the plan. The board authorized staff at the May 25, 2017 regular board meeting to conduct the 45 day public comment period. The public comment period will open June 5, 2017 and close July 19, 2017. On Monday, June 5 RESTORE staff will host a public comment kickoff meeting at 5:30 p.m. at the Central Office Complex (3363 West Park Place), Room 104. Public comments can be submitted in the following ways: In person: MYIP kickoff meeting, Mon-
day, June 5 at 5:30 p.m., Central Office Complex, 3363 West Park Place, Room 104 Mail: Attention - Escambia County Natural Resources Management-RESTORE, 221 Palafox Place, Pensacola, FL 32502 Phone: 850-595-0820 On July 19 RESTORE staff will review the public comments submitted and incorporate them into the MYIP. Next, Escambia County will submit the MYIP to the U.S. Treasury who will take 30 to 60 days to review and approve. The BCC anticipates voting to accept the approved MYIP in early September. Approval of the MYIP allows Escambia County to begin individual grant applications for the projects. It is anticipated that final adoption of grant awards will occur in January 2018 with projects beginning shortly thereafter.

PSC honors 97 employees with service award Old photos, fond memories and plenty of laughter were on the agenda as Pensacola State College recently recognized 97 employees at the 2017 Annual Service Awards Ceremony held in the Jean and Paul Amos Performance Studio. Retiring Physical Sciences Department icons Ed Stout and Wayne Wooten were celebrated with PowerPoint presentations highlighting their many accomplishments – as well as some old photos that showed off their changing tastes in fashions and hairstyles. Both joined the college family in 1974 with Stout teaching chemistry and then chairing the Physical Sciences Department, while Wooten began as director of the planetarium before teaching astronomy and spearheading the Escambia Amateur Astronomers Association. President Ed Meadows summed up their far-reaching influence by noting the changes they had embraced over the years. “When Dr. Stout and Dr. Wooten began their teaching careers, there were no computers
in classrooms – they taught complicated formulas using chalkboards and slide rules,” Dr. Meadows said. “Over the years, as technology developed and programs grew, Dr. Stout and Dr. Wooten changed and grew right along with them. “Now, almost 43 years later, there are countless scientists, engineers, teachers and at least one astronaut who began exploring and making the world a better place because they were lucky enough to take a class from Dr. Stout and Dr. Wooten.” Special recognition for longevity also was extended to Records Coordinator Becky Johnson for 42 years of service and to Visual Arts Professor Bill Clover for 51 years in the classroom. Clover is the longest serving faculty member in the college’s 69-year history. Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs Erin Spicer presented the remaining service awards accompanied by photos and remarks about each recipient. Honored as 2017 PSC Legends for their 25 years of service were Pat Crews, Al
Huffman, Linda Lambert, Kathryn Merritt, Jackie Padilla and Patrice Whitten. Additional service recognition included: • 35 years: Linda Winesett • 30 years: Tom Botsford, Gean Ann Emond, Anthony Harris, Bert Merritt, and Cheryl Sexton • 20 years: Karen Atkins-Harris, Richard Cacace, Jeremy Carr, Michelle Dean, Pat Duncan, Jill Hubbs, Frances Jackson, Brenda Kelly, Robin Mertins, Mary Anne Petruska, Karol Robertson, Brian Rucker, Katherine Schultz, Paul Swanson, and Charles Voltz • 15 years: Paul Chaney, Shawn Davis, Mark Francis, Robert Gandrup, Thor Garber, Marie Hattabaugh, Jason King, Don Oglesby, Kathy Quillen, Holly Vaughn, Rodney Weddington, Mary Louise Winter, and Walt Winter • 10 years: Abrenda Adams, Ernest Banks, Rhonda Basler, Lecia Bradley, Mack Crider, Beverly Donnell, Sherry Halford, Renee Jenkins-Hosea, Kris Kembro, Charles Knight, Krist Lien, Donna Mathias, Ann McGuire, Sandy Moore, Rhoda
Moya, Annette Orangio, Suzie Payne, Mary Riker, Bobby Roberson, Brigette Robinson and Chela Smith • 5 years: Staci Ball, Michelle Branch, Susan Bryan, Dan Busse, Paula Byrd, Molly Carey, Thomas Carroll, Tamares Cockfield, Maria Cole, David Courington, Wanda Edwards, Diane Evett, Patrice Friant, Cesar Gonzalez, Jesse Hamilton, Lois Hurd, Obi Kalu, Robyn Ludlum, Gail McClure, Darlene Mosley, Carol O’Hara, Kelsey Powell, Debra Ryals, Michael Sabroski, Melissa Sears, Matt Stanfill, Kathy Van Dyck, Sheryl Walker, Marc Ward, Worawan White, Theresa Wilkes and Keith Wise PSC colleagues were welcomed to the celebration with piano selections by Performing Arts student Troy Harris topped off with hors d’oeuvres by Shirley’s Deli and Catering. Planning the festivities were Tammy Henderson, Rhonda Likely, Melonie Miner, Erandi Sanchez-Perez, Virginia Santoni and Dykieria Stevens.

Hurricane season begins June 1 Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1 and runs through November 30. Santa Rosa County urges residents to take the time now to make a plan and be prepared. “It has been 12 years since a hurricane has hit our area so we encourage everyone to take a few minutes to freshen your disaster supplies. If you are new to the area, this is the perfect time to build a disaster kit. You can find the items neede d in our newly updated disaster guide or on our web site,” said Brad Baker, director of Santa Rosa County Emergency Management. “Also, be sure to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to stay informed about any pending tropical activity. Together we can handle any disaster that strikes us. So help yourself, help your family, help your community - be prepared.” Here are the top five things you need to do this season: 1. Locate your evacuation zone to determine if and when you would have to evacuate. Remember: All mobile home residents are advised to evacuate, regardless of location. 2. Decide NOW
where you would go if ordered to evacuate - a friend or relative’s home, a hotel or as a last resort, a public shelter. If you are going to leave the area or go to a hotel, don’t delay.

STATE COLLEGE CUTS SPUR CALLS FOR BUDGET VETO
By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Upset over a $30 million cut in remedial education funding, state-college advocates are asking Gov. Rick Scott to veto a $1.2 billion portion of the state budget, forcing lawmakers to revamp the spending plan for the 28 colleges. The college advocates say the cuts would have “a devastating impact” on the system and that the loss of remedial services, like tutoring, would particularly impact the “most vulnerable students,” including students from low-income families, minority students and military veterans. Advocates are circulating a message highlighting their concerns and trying to build pressure on Scott to take action. “These are the students that need additional academic support and help to be successful—the ones
that benefit from our opendoor access policy and affordable offerings,” the message says. “These cuts threaten our students, programs and support services.” State college leaders were dismayed that the $82.4 billion budget (SB 2500) passed May 8 by the Legislature includes a 5.5 percent increase, or $253 million, for state universities, while the college system would face a 2 percent cut, or $24.7 million. The major overall cuts include $9.4 million for Miami Dade College; $6.3 million for Florida State College at Jacksonville; $4.4 million for Broward College; and $3.88 million for Hillsborough Community College, according to an analysis by the state Department of Education. Some of the cuts may be offset if the schools qualify for a portion of a $60 million performance fund, which is a $30 million increase over the current year. Two schools would see
increases because the budget provided extra operating funds for handful of colleges. The most dramatic example was Santa Fe College in Gainesville, which received a $5 million boost, and would have an overall $1.3 million increase in the new budget. State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, which received $1.7 million in added funding, would have an overall $46,000 increase. Michael Brawer, executive director of the Association of Florida Colleges, said the college advocates are asking Scott to veto the $1.2 billion portion of the budget related to funding for the colleges to get lawmakers to reassess the $30 million cut in remedial, or developmental, education. “They (lawmakers) would have to do it over and hopefully restore our $30.2 million cut,” Brawer said. “We would be happy if they just brought us back to zero.” Senate leaders, who originally supported a $55 mil-
lion cut in remedial funding, said the reduction was based on a 2013 change in state law that deemphasized noncredit remedial courses and a subsequent decline in remedial students. State enrollment data shows there are about 14,000 remedial students, down from 21,000 in the 2014-15 academic year. State college advocates say despite the change in policy, many students still need remedial services to be successful in school. The request for a partial veto involving state college spending gives Scott another option in dealing with the budget, which he has yet to receive from the Legislature. Once he receives the budget, he will have 15 days to act on it. Scott, who is disappointed in a lack of money for tourism and economic-development programs and a marginal increase in public school spending, has said his options include veto-
ing all or parts of the budget. Public school advocates have asked Scott to veto K-12 spending in the budget, forcing lawmakers to reconsider that portion. The new budget must be in place by July 1, when the 2017-18 fiscal year begins. Other state colleges facing at least a $1 million cut in overall state funding in the new year include: Eastern Florida State College, $3.1 million; Daytona State College, $3.3 million; Florida SouthWestern State College, $1.4 million; Gulf Coast State College, $1.3 million; and Indian River State College, $1.9 million. Also, Palm Beach State College, $3.1 million; PascoHernando State College, $1.7 million; Polk State College, $1.2 million; and St. Petersburg College, $2.7 million. Also, Seminole State College of Florida, $2 million; Tallahassee Community College, $2 million; and Valencia College, $3.2 million.
HEALTH OFFICIALS MOVE AHEAD WITH POT PROCESS
By DARA KAM THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
After state lawmakers failed to act, health officials on Thursday laid out a framework for adopting regulations required by a voter-approved constitutional amendment that could make Florida one of the nation’s largest medical-marijuana markets. The Florida Department of Health on Thursday issued a “Notice of Regulation Development Procedure” establishing the process the agency intends to use to carry out Amendment 2, given a thumbs-up by more than 71 percent of voters in November. The amendment gave doctors the authority to order marijuana for a broad swath of patients with debilitating conditions, including cancer, epilepsy, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, post-traumatic stress disorder, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Crohn’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Doctors also have the power to order marijuana for “other debilitating medical conditions of the same
kind or class as or comparable to those enumerated, and for which a physician believes that the medical use of marijuana would likely outweigh the potential health risks for a patient.” During the legislative session that ended May 8, lawmakers failed to reach agreement on a measure to carry out the constitutional amendment. A key sticking point involved a cap on the number of retail outlets the state’s licensed medical-marijuana operators would be allowed to run. Currently, Florida’s seven medical marijuana operators can open an unlimited number of dispensaries. That’s based on a 2014 law, intended to provide noneuphoric cannabis treatment for children with severe epilepsy. That law paved the way for the state’s medical marijuana industry. The industry is expected to explode after the passage of the constitutional amendment, under which at least 420,000 patients in Florida could be eligible for medical marijuana, according to the most recent health department estimates.
The regulation-creating process proposed Thursday by the Department of Health is a shift from typical proceedings, governed by Florida administrative law. The constitutional amendment gives health officials until July 3 to craft rules to implement the amendment and until Oct. 3 to put the rules into effect. But typical administrative-law procedures include timelines for challenges and revisions that could push finalization of the department’s regulations far beyond the constitutional deadlines. Under the process proposed by the agency on Thursday, health officials would give notice 15 days before adopting a new rule. The public would have three days to weigh in on the proposal. The framework, which would do away with the administrative-law process, lacks guidelines for how to challenge or appeal agency decisions about the pot regulations. The implementation scheme also apparently does away with a proposed rule that health officials floated earlier this year to try to
implement the amendment. The proposal comes amid bipartisan demands that lawmakers revisit the medical marijuana issue during a special session. The could be unlikely to happen unless Gov. Rick Scott vetoes portions of the budget, forcing the Legislature to come back to Tallahassee for issues other than pot. In a telephone interview Thursday with The News Service of Florida, Sen. Rob Bradley, a Fleming Island Republican who was instrumental in passing the state’s 2014 non-euphoric cannabis law and who remains a major player on medical-marijuana issues, credited the health department’s attempts to move forward with regulations to meet the July deadline. But Bradley said he feared the department would develop regulations built on current Florida law --- finalized before the constitutional amendment went into effect --- while awaiting guidance from the Legislature. If so, agency officials likely won’t revisit key issues such as a required 90-day waiting period before doctors are able to order mari-
juana treatment, something patients have strenuously objected to because they say it creates a significant barrier to treatment for dying or extremely ill Floridians. “I don’t see the department doing anything bold. My sense is they are going to preserve the status quo until such time as the Legislature acts. I support the department’s desire to remove any legal cloud over people’s ability to receive this medicine pursuant to the current provisions that are in place,” Bradley, a former prosecutor, said. “We need to do more than that, though. And that’s the Legislature’s job.” Even if lawmakers don’t take up the issue during a special session this summer, committee meetings will begin in the fall in advance of the 2018 session, which begins in January. “The Legislature is going to be in Tallahassee no later than around 100 days from now, and possibly earlier if the governor vetoes all or a portion of the budget,” Bradley said. “There are opportunities for the Legislature to deal with medical marijuana.”
gram, which began in 2016 and represented the first time the small liberal arts honors college, which has about 875 students, had offered a graduate degree. All seven graduates are heading to jobs, including four in Florida, the college said. Most of the students will work for companies where they interned as part the data-science program. The program is limited to 15 students. They take classes on campus in the first year and then spend their second year working on
and off campus with companies on data science projects. Two students, who earned their baccalaureate degrees from New College, returned to the school to earn master’s degrees. “I knew how rapidly the field was changing, and that if I were to have any hope of survival, I would need to build a solid foundation in data science,” Philip Pope said in a statement released by the school. “So I came back to New College to do just that.” Pope was working as a
data scientist in Washington, D.C., when he decided to return to New College for his master’s degree. His new job will be as a machine learning engineer with Clarifai, a New York City artificial intelligence company specializing in deep learning, the school said. Data science jobs are among the highest paying in the economy, with New College citing a PayScale. com survey that pegged the median annual salary at $91,000 in the U.S. Graduating more students
with higher-paying data science jobs will help New College on a key state performance measure. , The college currently ranks last among the 12 schools in the state university system with a median post-graduation salary of $26,500, based on the 2014-15 academic year. The seven master’s graduates will join 174 undergraduates earning their baccalaureate degrees on Friday, with 40 percent of the students receiving degrees in science or mathematics fields, the college said.

SCOTT SIGNS PACKAGE OF TAX BREAKS By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Gov. Rick Scott signed a tax-cut package Thursday that --- while vastly scaled back from what he wanted --- eliminates the so-called “tampon tax” and offers tax holidays for back-to-school shoppers and Floridians preparing for hurricane season. With the package offering $91.6 million in tax breaks during the upcoming year, Scott signed the measure (HB 7109) during a ceremony at 3Cinteractive in Boca Raton. “Since I’ve been in office, I’ve fought to cut taxes and reduce burdensome regulations to help boost Florida’s economy and ensure our children and grandchildren have the opportunity to succeed in our great state,” Scott said in a prepared statement. “Every time we cut taxes, we are encouraging businesses of all sizes to create opportunities for families across the state, and more money is put
back in taxpayers’ pockets.” The savings are projected to reach $180 million over two years due to some permanent cuts. Scott had requested $618.4 million in cuts before the legislative session, and an initial House package approached $300 million. But the package was scaled back substantially as the House and Senate negotiated a budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. Business lobbying groups Thursday were quick to praise Scott for signing the package. Floridians will get the first tax breaks next week, when they can buy hurricane supplies without paying sales taxes during a three-day “holiday” starting June 2. “These tax cuts are going to be huge this year,” Florida Retail Federation spokesman James Miller said. “It hits a number of different sectors, and a number of different industries. Business owners across the state are going to be really happy with the result of this.”
The window on taxfree storm gear is timed with the start of the sixmonth hurricane season, which begins June 1. With the holiday estimated to save shoppers $4.5 million, sales taxes will not be collected during the period on items such as portable self-powered lights selling for $20 or less; portable self-powered radios and tarpaulins at $50 or less; firstaid kits up to $30; and portable generators up to $750. The next high-profile savings, projected at $33.4 million, will come during a three-day back-to-school tax holiday set to begin Aug. 4. Shoppers will be able to avoid paying sales taxes on clothes, footwear and backpacks costing $60 or less; school supplies costing $15 or less, and personal computers priced up to $750. Two other key portions of the package, an elimination of sales taxes on feminine hygiene products and a reduction in a commercial lease tax,
both go into effect on Jan. 1. With the issue known as the “tampon tax,” eliminating sales taxes collected on products such as tampons, sanitary napkins and panty liners, is expected to save $4.8 million for Floridians next fiscal year. The savings are to slated to grow to $11.2 million when the tax cut is in effect for a full year. “This common sense legislation will result in a tax savings for women all over the state who purchase these necessary products,” said Sen. Kathleen Passidomo, a Naples Republican who led efforts to repeal the tax. Meanwhile, a reduction in the commercial lease tax from 6 percent to 5.8 percent is projected to save businesses $25.4 million next fiscal year, with that total growing to $61 million when the cut is in effect for a full year. Business groups have long argued that the state should repeal the tax. “The business rent tax reduction accounts for two-
thirds of the overall cut in the package --- that’s a significant show of support for small business and an indication that the Florida Legislature is serious about working toward fully repealing this burdensome tax,” Bill Herrle, executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business-Florida, said in a prepared statement. Scott had asked for the lease tax to be dropped to 4.5 percent. “The most significant steps are often the first ones we take on an issue, and this cut opens the door for future reductions of this burdensome tax,” Maria Wells, Florida Realtors president, said in a release. The delayed Jan. 1 start to the feminine-hygiene and commercial-lease tax cuts is what helps increase the tax-cut package to $180 million when stretched over two years. The package also includes several other smaller tax breaks.
“We have made tremendous progress in the last four years, and there is a clear momentum in Florida for this common-sense approach to liquor sales,” said Michael Williams, a spokesman for the group Floridians for Fair Business Practices, which supported the repeal. “While Governor Scott ultimately chose to veto Senate Bill 106, we look forward to working with state leaders in the future to finally put an end to this outdated, Prohibition-era law.” Scott, in a letter accompanying his first vetoed bill of the year, said the proposal’s impact on small businesses outweighed his desire to further cut regulations. “I carefully reviewed this bill and I have met with stakeholders on both sides,” Scott said. “I listened closely to what they had to say and I understand that both positions have merit. Nevertheless, I have heard concerns as to how this bill could affect many small businesses across Florida. I was a small business owner and many lo-
cally owned businesses have told me how this bill will impact their families and their ability to create jobs.” Opponents of the bill argued that a repeal would hurt small liquor stores, eliminate jobs, result in a greater ability for minors to get liquor and lead to more impulse-buying of alcohol. “We applaud Governor Scott for saving hundreds of Florida small businesses that employ thousands of Floridians, while at the same time keeping safeguards in place for minors,” ABC Fine Wine & Spirits Chief Executive Officer and President Charles Bailes said in a prepared statement. Along with the independent liquor stores, Publix has been involved because it operates stand-alone liquor stores in many of the same shopping centers as its grocery stores. Meanwhile, retailers such as Target and Walmart --- battling online sales --- have been looking to sell liquor in the same stores where shoppers pick up groceries and other goods.
The bill was highly controversial, passing the Senate in a 21-17 vote and the House by a 58-57 margin. Members of the Florida Independent Spirits Association, which also opposed the repeal, mobilized after the bill received final legislative approval April 26. “More than 1,000 letters and 3,000 petitions from around the state were delivered to the governor with the message that vetoing this bill would save our Florida small retailers and jobs that help our local economies,” Florida Independent Spirits Association President Rory Eggers said in a release thanking Scott. In addition to repealing the Depression-era law, the bill would have prohibited new package stores from being licensed within 1,000 feet of schools; required small bottles, 6.8 ounces or less, to be displayed only behind the counter; and required that checkout clerks under the age of 18 be supervised by people 18 or older when alcohol is purchased.
To help Publix with its existing leases, the bill would have staggered the repeal, limiting the percentage of liquor that could have been stocked in chain stores over a four-year period. Scott had until Wednesday to act on the bill. As the deadline approached, he offered little as to what he would do. Scott on Tuesday scheduled a telephone call with Walmart President and CEO Greg Foran and a meeting at the Capitol with Bailes of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. Bailes said after his meeting he had no indication how Scott would handle the bill. “I think he’ll do the best thing for the state,” Bailes said. “He gave me the opportunity to state what our position is, which hasn’t changed, and he was very gracious about it.” On Wednesday, Scott attended the summer board meeting for the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, which was part of the coalition pushing to tear down the wall.
and AvMed would each receive contracts but argue that they should get business in more counties --- or even statewide. The cases were sent last week to the state Division of Administrative Hearings, where Judge Lawrence Stevenson has scheduled a multi-day hearing to start June 14. United HealthCare, for example, argued in its challenge that it would provide the “best value” for the state and employees. “It is United’s position that DMS acted contrary to competition in making a county by county award decision
when it is the best value to allow the potential vendors to compete on a statewide basis, allowing state employees, families and state retirees to make informed choices about their health care,” the insurer’s challenge said. “Even if DMS was correct in awarding by county, the award is still not reflective of the best value in those counties.” The department said in filings that it provided opportunities May 2 to resolve the challenges but was unable to reach agreement with the companies. Capital Health Plan,
which is slated to receive contracts in Leon County and six surrounding counties, has intervened on the side of the state agency. “The ultimate facts alleged by CHP (Capital Health Plan) are that CHP’ s final offer provides by a wide margin the best value to the state in each county in CHP’ s service area, as determined by the department reasonably and in good faith during the negotiation process,” the Tallahassee-based insurer said in its request to intervene. The contracting process, which involved what is known as an invitation to
negotiate, started last fall and led to the Department of Management Services in April issuing a notice about where it intended to award contracts to each company, according to documents filed in the cases. The notice shows that Aetna would receive contracts in 31 counties; United HealthCare would receive contracts in 16 counties; AvMed would receive contracts in 11 counties; Capital Health Plan would receive contracts in seven counties; and Florida Health Care Plans would receive contracts in two counties.
SCOTT VETOES BILL TO TEAR DOWN `LIQUOR WALL’ By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Pointing to concerns about preserving small-business jobs, Gov. Rick Scott on Wednesday vetoed a heavily debated and lobbied measure that supporters said would repeal a relic of the nation’s emergence from Prohibition. The so called “liquor wall” law, which requires hard spirits to be sold in separate facilities from most retail goods, will remain in place after Scott’s veto of the repeal bill. The veto was a victory for independent liquorstore owners, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits and Publix Super Markets, which fought the bill during the legislative session that ended May 8. Scott’s decision on the proposal (SB 106) also ends for now the noisy legislative battles about the issue. Supporters of eliminating the law, including retailers Target, Costco and Walmart, argued that a repeal would promote free markets and customer convenience.
STATE HMO CONTRACTS SPUR CHALLENGES By JIM SAUNDERS THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
An administrative law judge will hear arguments next month as three health insurers challenge the way state officials want to divvy up contracts for HMO coverage for state employees. United HealthCare Services, Inc., Aetna Life Insurance Co. and AvMed, Inc. filed the challenges after the state Department of Management Services last month released a plan to award contracts to insurers in counties across the state.
