Accessing records online brings lawyers into contact with the ‘security matrix’ By Gary Blankenship Most Florida clerks of courts have placed their court records online, where they can be accessed by lawyers and the public. However, users must go to each clerk’s website to gain access to that county’s court files, although a second statewide database of court records, now only available to governmental agencies, may soon be available to attorneys and others. Accessing the county-bycounty records, according to Santa Rosa County Judge Robert Hilliard, can be a bit of a challenge. Hilliard chairs the Access Governance Board of the Florida Courts Technology Commission, which among other functions monitors clerks who are putting records online. “What we have in Florida are 67 independent counties overlaid by 20 judicial circuits, and each of those entities has certain policies and procedures that have been in operation for many decades.We are now transitioning into an environment that requires certain definition so it can be used by a computer,” Hilliard said. That means access for each county’s records will be through that county clerk of court’s website and there may be local rules or administrative orders that affect the access, he said, adding, “They have differences about what they choose to offer online versus over the counter.” Regular users can become “registered users” in a county, which will speed access because there is some identification of the user, Hilliard said. Accessing the records online will bring lawyers, perhaps for the first time, into contact with the “security matrix” that protects confidential information in court filings. Hilliard said the ticklish job about making records available via the internet is shielding sensitive information. The matrix divides potential users of court records into various categories — judges, attorneys of record, state attorneys, public defenders, the public,
guardians ad litem, etc. — and then determines what access they will get. Judges basically have access to all information, except records expunged or sealed under F.S. Chap. 943. Attorneys of record get access to most records except those sealed under F.S. Chap 943, made confidential by R. Jud. Admin. 2.420, and some domestic relations records. Attorneys not of record have the same access as the public, Hilliard said. The matrix establishes two levels of public access. Those who physically go to a clerk’s office may get slightly better access than those who anonymously pull up records online. “I look at it [the security matrix] as a giant [old-fashioned telephone] switchboard,” Hilliard said. “On one side, you’ve got all this information, some public and some private. On the other side, you’ve got all these different people with different roles. You’ve got citizens, attorneys, private investigators, guardians ad litem, moms and dads of kids, physicians, and judges. The access security matrix is the switchboard between all these different roles and all this different information.” The matrix is based on state laws governing confidentiality, Bar and court rules, and administrative policies, and the FCTC worked with the Bar’s Rules of Judicial Administration Committee and the Office of the State Courts Administrator in assembling the document. The matrix is still being refined. The FCTC at its August meeting adopted a tweak to fix part of the matrix, which
blocked judges from getting financial information in an obscure type of case. And Miami attorney Joe George led a charge to change another section of the matrix, which prevented the parents of children with disabilities from accessing and filing information online after they filed to become guardian advocates for their children. The FCTC recommended changes to the Supreme Court, which has final jurisdiction. “The matrix is designed to be responsive to change as the system evolves. It’s relatively new and really has been out in the field a relatively short time,” Hilliard said. “It is only when something is put into the field that you can identify issues that come up.” According to Office of the State Court Administrator records, Holmes, Suwanee, and Taylor counties are not yet providing any online access. Seminole County has had its application approved to begin a pilot program. Certification is pending for Hamilton County’s pilot program. Bay, Brevard, Lee, Monroe, Pasco, and Wakulla counties are conducting their pilot programs for online access. The remaining 56 counties have been certified by the Supreme Court, on the FCTC’s recommendation, and are providing online access. “The clerks have been just great about working with us,” Hilliard said. The second system being worked on, which could solve the problem of having to go to each county to get its records, is an expansion and upgrading of the existing Comprehensive Case Information System, or CCIS, which is maintained by the state’s clerks of circuit courts. CCIS provides case and statistical information to the courts and other state agencies. In a report to the FCTC at its August meeting, Maryann Marchese, CCIS project manager for the Florida Court Clerk & Comptrollers, said the upgrade, known as Version 3.0, will give real-time access to cases in each clerk’s case
Santa Rosa County Judge Robert Hilliard management system, as well as data from those systems. There will also be search capabilities. “All 67 counties provide case data to CCIS,” Marchese said. “Sixty-five of the 67 have implemented CCIS 3.0, which includes the real-time web service. The remaining two are planning to implement it . . . by the third quarter of this year.” Currently, CCIS has 44,370 active users in 167 agencies, Marchese said. At an earlier FCTC meeting, FCCC IT Director Melvin Cox said part of the improved CCIS plan is to add all public access security roles, including attorney access. This security enhancement, when completed, will allow clerks the opportunity to examine the feasibility of giving attorneys and other users one-stop access to statewide court records and allow them, for example, to check pending statewide legal actions for a potential client. One task necessary for that access will be meshing the CCIS data with the security matrix, Marchese and Hilliard said. “We want to make sure the data is validated, reliable, secure, available, audited,” Marchese said. Molly Kellogg-Schmauch, spokeswoman for the
FCCC, said the upgrade to CCIS is expected to be finished by the end of the year. “Access for other entities, including attorneys, will be determined once that is finalized and will require a policy decision by the clerks,” she said. Hilliard said the electronic access to court records has many advantages, pitfalls, and unknowns. He noted some companies are “data mining” court records for information, and there have been cases in which inmates have accessed various records from different databases and different agencies to try to identify police informants. “It brings sometimes unforeseen consequences,” he said. “Lawyers serve the public, and that’s one thing that we keep in mind. This is often stuff that is time-critical for many people, like the media, the attorneys, the parties. As we move more into an electronic model from our paper-based model, we certainly don’t want to do anything to slow it down.” This story was originally printed in the Florida Bar News

Escambia County Housing Barktoberfest Scheduled for Finance Authority Will Offer October 28 Make a date with your best furry answer your questions about different Mortgage Credit Certificates to friend and treat him or her to the most breeds. Qualifying First Time Homebuyers “paw-some” event in town! Yes, the Local vets will provide information The Escambia County Housing Finance Authority offers Homeownership Programs to first-time homebuyers, veterans, and former homeowners. These programs provide low-interest home mortgage loans together with zero percent down payment assistance loans of up to $7,500 for qualified borrowers earning not more than applicable program limits. Our mission is to alleviate the shortage of affordable homes and make homeownership dreams come true for Florida’s workforce. The Authority has placed more than $115 million in first mortgage loans for more than 1,062 families since 2012. The Authority has recently approved offering mortgage credit certificates to qualifying first-time homebuyers in connection with their home purchase mortgage in Alachua, Bay, Bradford, Escambia, Gadsden, Indian River, Jackson, Leon, Marion, Martin, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, St. Lucie, Walton and Wakulla Counties. Mortgage credit certificates entitle a borrower to a tax credit that will reduce their taxes up to fifty percent of the amount of interest paid on their home loan not to exceed $2,000 per year. Mortgage credit certificates were authorized by Congress pursuant to Section 25 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986. They authorize a tax credit, not a deduction, so they can save qualifying homebuyers a significant amount of money if they owe federal income tax. Generally, homebuyers can qualify for the mortgage credit certificate if they earn no more than 120% of the median income for their county of residence and if the home purchase price is below the federal limit. Qualifying income and purchase price information, along with other details of the program is available at Escambia County Housing Finance Authority - Mortgage Credit Certificate Program (http://www.escambiahfa.com/ homebuyers/mortgage-credit-certificateprogram). The Authority’s mortgage credit certificate program is expected to be available as of the middle of December, 2017. The Authority has placed more than $115 million in first mortgage loans for more than 1,062 workforce families since 2012. Our mission is to make your homeownership dreams come true.

C.A.R.E. Center Released Three Sea Turtles at Sunrise The Gulfarium’s C.A.R.E. Center released three rehabilitated sea turtles on Tuesday morning, October 17, 2017. Okra, a juvenile Green sea turtle, was originally released at Fort Pickens on September 26, 2017 after recovering from being hooked at Navarre Beach Fishing Pier. This juvenile Green found its way back home at the pier, and was caught by a hook again just seven days later. Bok Choy, a juvenile Green, was hooked in the mouth by a fisherman at Navarre Beach Fishing Pier, and arrived to the C.A.R.E. Center on September 29, 2017. Radiographs showed a second hook embedded in the back of the mouth, and was successfully removed. Cindy, a Kemp’s ridley, was found floating in Santa Rosa county. Initially, Cindy was lethargic and hypoglycemic. Her recovery took a few months as she continued to demonstrate her preference for the surface of the water. The team worked with Cindy to
ensure she could dive on her own, and a clean bill of health sealed the deal for her return to the Gulf. “Cindy’s released went as expected,” said Terra Throgmorton, Lead Aquarist for Gulfarium. “She quickly swam off with great energy, remained at the surface for several yards before diving down, eventually disappearing.” A few lucky bystanders, enjoying the sunrise, stopped by to witness the release. “We wish them well. If they ever run into trouble again, we’ll be here,” said Jenna Wanamaker, Aquarist for the Gulfarium. Follow the C.A.R.E. Center on Facebook to learn more about sea turtles, their individual stories, and rehabilitation efforts. The Gulfarium CARE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, is proud to act as a beacon for coastal conservation through marine animal rescue and rehabilitation. Donations are taxdeductible and can be made online on the C.A.R.E. Center’s page.

Women Helping Women: Levin Papantonio Staff Build Mom New Habitat Home This weekend, employees with the law firm of Levin Papantonio will be trading their legal and office skills for hammers and construction materials, all to help a local mother build a new home for her family. Sixteen Levin Papantonio employees, most of them women, have teamed up with Pensacola Habitat for Humanity for the Women Build event. They’ve also raised $8,500 for the project and on Saturday, October 21, they will be volunteering to build a new home in Milton for Adele McCormick and her son. “This is a great program that helps families get a hand up not a hand out which helps them to appreciate what they have and become better parents and members of the community,” said Caroline Peterson, a nurse and paralegal with Levin Papantonio’s medical malpractice department and the Women Build team leader. “It helps the kids to have a stable environment which helps them flourish and grow without worrying about where they are going to sleep. I am so excited to meet people like Adele and her son Brandon, who are just so thankful for the help. You can see the progress and know you made just a tiny contribution to assist them in this major change. It’s so worth it!!” Habitat for Humanity launched the Women Build initiative in 1991 as an opportunity for women to take proactive steps in serving their community. Since then, thousands of homes and dollars have been raised to help struggling families. Women and children are most likely to
be affected by poor living conditions and women helping women sends a positive and powerful message of support and collaboration. Rachael Gilmer, a person injury attorney and shareholder with Levin Papantonio was eager to volunteer for the project. “Supporting women and families makes us stronger as a community,” said Gilmer, also a mother of two sons. “We are so thrilled to be a part of this Women Build event.” The Levin Papantonio Women Build team will also help build another Habitat home, next door to the other house. Habitat for Humanity is also providing lunch and complimentary tools for the volunteers. They’ll be working Oct 21st, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 4713 Shell Road, Milton, FL.

STATE COLLEGES LOOK FOR MONEY TO CLOSE JOBS `GAP’ By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Florida state colleges will make a pitch to lawmakers during the 2018 session to restore a $30 million budget cut and increase funding to hire more faculty, provide more counseling services and create more programs aimed at closing the “employment gap” in high-demand jobs. “I think this request reflects the priorities and goals of our system,” said Daytona State College President Tom LoBasso, who heads the college system’s council of presidents. “We feel this is an important investment in the future of Florida.” LoBasso said if lawmakers adopt the budget initiatives for the 2018-2019 academic year during the upcoming session, which begins in January, they will offset a $30 million cut the schools sustained in the current budget. The 28 colleges are advancing a budget plan to increase performance-based funding to $80 million next academic year, up from $60 million this year. Half of the funding would come from the state and
the other half from the colleges themselves. Another $75 million initiative would increase certificate and degree programs aimed at moving students into high-skill, high-wage jobs where the Florida Chamber of Commerce’s “Florida Jobs 2030” report has identified a gap between trained workers and the needs of businesses. The programs would be focused in areas like aviation, finance, health care, logistics and computer science. The colleges are asking for $67 million for initiatives aimed at “student success and completion” efforts, including having more students graduate on time. A major emphasis would be increasing the number of counselors who advise students on academic paths and goals. In 2016, the Florida college system had a ratio of 730 students for every counselor, well above a recommended average of 400-to-1 by the National Academic Advising Association, according to a report given to the State Board of Education this month. Christine Davis, a vice president for student affairs and enrollment management at Florida SouthWestern
State College, told the Senate Education Committee on Monday that her school had a ratio of 1,100 students for every counselor. “We’re working to get that down,” she said. Naima Brown, vice president of student affairs at Santa Fe College, said the ratio of students to counselors at her school is 1,000-to-1 for students seeking associate degrees. The funding would also be used to provide more tutoring, academic coaching and mental health services for students. The colleges are also asking for $50 million to retain and hire top-level faculty. “Of particular concern is the ability of (college system) institutions to offer a competitive salary for high-demand STEM faculty,” according to the report given to the State Board of Education. The colleges are also asking for $401 million in construction funding and $210 million in maintenance funding in the new state budget.
SCOTT CALLS FOR BOOST IN ENVIRONMENTAL BUDGET By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE FLORIDA
OF
Spending on Florida’s natural resources and environmental programs would grow by $220 million under a proposal by Gov. Rick Scott as he nears his final recommended state budget. The $1.7 billion environmental package for lawmakers to consider in 2018 includes increased funding for the state’s springs, beaches and parks, along with $355 million for Everglades restoration, $50 million to help the federal government speed repairs to the Herbert Hoover Dike around Lake Okeechobee and $50 million for Florida Forever, the state’s most prominent land-preservation fund. The proposal, which will be included when Scott releases his overall budget recommendations before the end of the year, drew some scorn from Democrats who labeled him an “election year environmentalist” for past promises on Florida Forever funding. Scott is expected to run for U.S. Senate next year. Meanwhile, conservationists said the proposal reflects a growing, positive change among Republican policymakers toward the environment since voters in 2014 approved a constitutional amendment that required increased spending on land and water preservation. However, concerns remain that more funding is needed for Florida Forever and that Scott isn’t adequately addressing the problems of sea-level rise and climate change. “Hurricane Irma made it devastatingly clear that we need
bold action and visionary leadership to confront the growing problems associated with sea-level rise and climate change,” Florida Conservation Voters Executive Director Aliki Moncrief said. “A robustly funded Florida Forever enables us to mitigate these problems by strategically conserving important wetlands and floodplains.” Eric Draper, executive director of Audubon Florida, was more diplomatic. Draper noted that just a few years ago, many leading Republican lawmakers argued that the state had too much land in its inventory to justify preserving more. “Overall, the budget addresses the most important issues: the springs, land conservation and the Everglades,” Draper said. As he has with other budget rollouts, Scott held a pair of public events Monday to highlight aspects of the spending proposal, appearing midday at Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary outside Naples and later in the afternoon at Audubon’s Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland. Lawmakers will consider the proposal during the 2018 legislative session, which starts in March. Scott outlined the proposal as a way to protect more than the natural beauty of the state’s resources. “Our natural treasures are so important to Florida’s economy and tourism industry and the many families that rely on them,” Scott said in a prepared statement. The package includes $55 million for natural springs, $100 million for beaches and $50 million for the state
parks. The Senate has already started advancing a bill (SB 174) by Appropriations Chairman Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, that would annually earmark $50 million for beach nourishment and inlet-management projects. Senate Environmental Preservation and Conservation Chairman Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, has also proposed a measure (SB 204) that would provide $75 million a year for natural springs. Bradley has a separate measure (SB 370) that would set aside at least $100 million a year for Florida Forever. 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 land it already owns. Money for Scott’s projects would come through the 2014 constitutional amendment, which directed lawmakers to use one-third of the revenue generated by a real estate tax for conservation measures. The documentary-stamp tax is expected to generate $862.2 million next fiscal year for a trust fund used to carry out the amendment, according to an August estimate by state economists. Lawmakers have already carved up the annual funding so at least $200 million goes for Everglades projects, another $64 million for a reservoir in the Everglades Agricultural Area south of Lake Okeechobee and $5 million to the St. Johns River Water Management
District for projects dedicated to the restoration of Lake Apopka. Environmental groups are battling the state in court about whether some of the trust-fund money has been improperly diverted from conservation purposes to agency staffing and operational expenses. Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, a Democrat running for governor in 2018, said Scott talks big on the environment when he’s about to appear on the ballot. “He promised that he’d request $150 million for Florida Forever each year in his second term --- and we’re on Year #7 of his administration and he’s now promising only $50 million,” Gillum said in a news release. “The governor is most prone to act on issues like this when he’s about to see his name on the ballot, and this is no different. Delivering one-third of a promise is not a promise kept.” When running for re-election in 2014, Scott campaigned on a $1 billion, 10-year environmental blueprint that in many aspects mirrored the environmental spending amendment that was also before voters at the time. The platform item included plans to request $150 million a year for Florida Forever. Lawmakers didn’t direct any money to Florida Forever for the current fiscal year that began July 1. The Department of Environmental Protection requested that Scott include $50 million for Florida Forever in his next budget recommendation.
GALVANO BRINGS POLICY SKILLS TO TOP SENATE POST By LLOYD DUNKELBERGER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
Sen. Bill Galvano, a 51-year-old lawyer from Bradenton, will be designated Tuesday by Senate Republicans as the next president of the Florida Senate. The Republican lawmaker will lead the 40-member Senate for the two years after the November 2018 general elections, assuming the Republicans hold their majority --- now at a 24-16 margin --- in the chamber. Over the course of his 13-year legislative career in the House and Senate, Galvano has handled complex issues, including the investigation of a House speaker, a gambling agreement with the Seminole Tribe and, most recently, a major higher-education initiative. “It’s not accidental that I entrusted one of my top legislative priorities to him,” said Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart, referring to Galvano’s handling of the Senate’s higher-education legislation. Negron met Galvano when he was assigned to help the Manatee County lawmaker in his first campaign for the House in 2002. They had a common background as lawyers from medium-sized communities. “He approaches legislative issues like you prepare for a trial,” said Negron, who has been Galvano’s Tallahassee roommate for about nine years. Negron said Galvano is also strong in building longterm relationships in Tallahassee, which is important in passing legislation as well as rising in the legislative leadership. “Bill is unique in that he is equally adept in the policy part of the political process as well as the social component,” Negron said. Earlier in his legislative career, Galvano focused on health care, chairing a House committee. He later became the chamber’s Rules Committee chairman and then led a special committee investigating the conduct of House Speaker Ray Sansom, who resigned. In his last year in the House, Galvano was one of the key architects of a major gambling agreement with the Seminole Tribe in 2010. After brief hiatus from the Legislature, Galvano won
election to the Senate, where President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, tapped him to oversee the $20-billion-plus public school budget. It was Galvano’s first foray as a budget leader. In 2015, Galvano led the Senate effort to resolve a redistricting challenge to the 40 Senate seats, after a court ruled the 2012 redistricting map had violated the state Constitution. During Negron’s presidency, Galvano has led the chamber’s higher-education budget panel and is the sponsor of a Senate bill (SB 4) this year that seeks to expand and make permanent changes to Florida’s Bright Futures merit scholarship program. “It’s made my career more interesting to be able to focus on these areas,” Galvano said in an interview. “And I think it will help give me some depth going forward.” Major influences in Galvano’s life were his parents, Phil and Betty Galvano. Galvano’s father, the son of Sicilian immigrants, was a self-made man who became one of the nation’s top golf professionals, claiming a list of clients that included celebrities like Johnny Carson and Perry Como. Galvano said his father was also strong believer in self-learning and education. In his honor, Galvano hosts an annual golf tournament each spring and has raised more than $3 million for Manatee County schools. But Galvano said it was his 82-year-old mother, Betty, who helped guide him into a career of law and politics. He said she has always had an active civic life, evidenced recently when Galvano called her to ask how she was doing during Hurricane Irma and found out she was on her way to Moore Haven as a Red Cross volunteer. “I really got involved in a lot of different issues through her and it piqued my interest in politics at a young age,” Galvano said. Galvano’s wife, Julie, is an administrator at Blake Medical Center in Bradenton. The couple are parents of two sons and a 13-year-old daughter, Jacqueline, who is a budding actress and singer. Jacqueline, who keeps up
with classes through the Florida Virtual School, recently completed a national tour in the musical “Annie.” Asked about his legislative priorities as the next Senate leader, Galvano said he is looking to the Senate membership to develop ideas reflecting the scope and diversity of the nation’s third-largest state. “I want to make sure my message is one of recognizing that everyone can contribute to the process, the empowerment of the members,” Galvano said about his agenda. “And most of all to be a facilitator of their ideas and their opportunities.” Galvano said he knows the state will face budget challenges in the next few years, including dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. He also said he wants to help the state’s citrus industry, which lost crops in the hurricane and has a long-term challenge from citrus greening disease. Galvano said he would also like to encourage more international trade and continue efforts to diversify the state’s economy, with the aim of creating more homegrown businesses rather than trying to attract businesses from outside the state. Rep. Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes, who was recently designated by the House Republicans as their next speaker, and Galvano will preside over the Legislature in the 2019 and 2020 regular sessions. Galvano said while he and Oliva may not always agree, they have already established a solid working relationship. “I think whether it’s known or not, we have been able to resolve and work together on issues far more often than not,” Galvano said. “I don’t perceive that his and mine relationship will be one steeped in gamesmanship, but more based on how we as one team get things accomplished.” Galvano also said since he began working with Oliva, whose family owns a cigar company, they have found another area of agreement. “I have to say his cigars are the best I’ve had,” Galvano said.

NURSING HOME PROVIDERS QUARREL OVER QUALITY PAYMENTS By CHRISTINE SEXTON THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
A bruising battle over how to parcel out billions in Medicaid payments for nursing homes is showing little signs of ending anytime soon. The latest skirmish happened this week at a meeting where both sides of the tug-of-war were supposed to be trying to draw up a detailed blueprint for a revamp of how nursing homes get paid under the state-federal health care program. The meeting devolved into a tense exchange when Scott Hopes, a health care consultant, snapped at a fellow member of the workgroup for not answering what he said was a “simple, yes or no question.” Keith Myers, president and CEO of West Palm Beach-based MorseLife Health System, was interrupted by Hopes three times as he tried to respond. It’s not surprising that those involved in the nursing home industry are closely watching the workgroup, since long-term care remains one of the largest expenses in the Florida’s $26 billion Medicaid program. The state set up a nursing home prospective payment workgroup earlier this year following a contentious battle during the 2017 session over a push by some nursing homes to alter how they are reimbursed. A prospective payment system is a reimbursement system in which rates are determined in advance of payment and considered final upon payment. Currently, the state reimburses skilled nursing facilities on a cost-based rate and rates are generally retrospective in nature. The Florida Health Care Association pushed the Legislature to approve a prospective payment system but LeadingAge Florida said the new calculation system didn’t make quality a top priority. The Legislature agreed to the changes but pushed back implementation to October 2018. Lawmakers also tasked the State Agency for Health Care Administration with creating a work group to, among other things, assist in the development and refinement of quality measures that should be included in the reimbursement calculations. Workgroup members agreed at their inaugural September meeting to use, as a starting point, quality metrics included in a 2016 report published by statehired consultant Navigant. The report provided a roadmap for transitioning from cost-based reimbursement to a fixed-fee system. After a lengthy discussion last month, the panel agreed to keep some of the quality metrics included in
the Navigant report but left pending until Thursday’s meeting action on more than a half-dozen other recommended changes. Some of the proposed changes include eliminating incontinence and the use of restraints as metrics in the quality payment incentive but adding weight loss for consideration. The additional time between meetings, however, didn’t help the workgroup members to reach consensus. After 45 minutes of debate, mostly focused on whether the proposed changes would take effect in October 2018 or in 2020, the committee voted 6-5 to delete the incontinence metric, effective next year, from consideration. But panel member Beverly Williams subsequently said she was uncomfortable with approving any changes that would take effect in October 2018. “I’m thinking really we should kinda stay with the way it is now until such time that we’ve gone a year or so and we know what’s going on, which ones are problematic,” she said. “I think I am changing my first vote.” Sensing that the technical advisory panel wasn’t going to be able to come to agreement, Hopes recommended that the committee approve the quality recommendations included in the 2016 Navigant report and that a subsequent panel be appointed to further analyze the quality of care metrics. “(Is there) such strong opposition to it (the Navigant metrics) that we cannot move this meeting forward unless we change it?” Hopes asked panel members, especially Myers. “Some of them,” said Myers. But when Myers tried to explain his position, Hopes interrupted. “So your problems are significant enough that you are not going to be able to live with this? We have to change it?” Hopes asked Myers. “It’s not about the organization,” Myers said, again trying to elaborate. But Hopes interrupted Myers for a second time, asking him again whether he would agree to submitting the Navigant report or if that made him uncomfortable. When Myers went to answer the question, Hopes interrupted him a third time. “It’s a simple question: yes or no,” Hopes said, quickly adding, “I’m trying to move this meeting along.” Myers noted that he also was trying to keep the group on task. He reminded Hopes that the panel last month agreed to delay action on nine proposed changes until Thursday, which was why the items
appeared on the agenda. Myers also said that creating another committee to examine the quality metrics between now and October 2018 just adds another layer of bureaucracy to the process. But Hope told Myers that his “sense” was that the panel wouldn’t be able to come to a consensus on the nine issues Thursday. He reiterated his recommendation that panel members be asked whether they supported submitting the recommendations in the Navigant report. But this time it was Myers who retorted. “Is that an agenda item, because that’s not what I’m reading,” he said. The back and forth ended only after Interim Assistant Deputy Secretary for Medicaid Finance and Analytics Tom Wallace suggested that the panel members submit written comments to the agency. Wallace said he wanted the technical advisory committee’s report to be a reflection of the panel’s sentiments and, to that end, asked that each member provide written comments on the nine proposed changes. The comments would be included in the final report, Wallace said. “We could definitely do that,” he said. “We like to do that.” The three-hour meeting at the Agency for Health Care Administration’s Tallahassee headquarters wasn’t all controversial, though. Nursing home technical advisory panel members agreed to temporarily defer any decision on how supplemental payments for ventilators should be applied. The panel also agreed not to apply a 2011 law that prevents rates from being adjusted for inflation when the prospective rates are being rebased. That recommendation was made by panelist Bob Asztalos, chief lobbyist for the Florida Health Care Association, which aggressively lobbied the Legislature to pass the prospective payment system into law. Asztalos noted that the state retooled how it paid hospitals for inpatient and outpatient care. During that transition period, hospitals were exempt from a 2011 law restricting Medicaid rates from being annually adjusted for inflation. After the recommendation was unanimously approved, Asztalos quipped he was beginning to feel “warm and fuzzy.” Hopes, who had been frustrated earlier in the meeting, joined in Asztalos’ optimism. “We went from a health debate to ending our agenda with consensus,” Hopes said.
WHITE NATIONALIST SHOUTED DOWN AT UF SPEECH By JIM TURNER THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
White-nationalist Richard Spencer brought his “altright” movement to the University of Florida Thursday, calling America a “white country,” but his message was drowned out. Attempting to speak over the derisive shouts and chants from a diverse and hostile crowd at the Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Spencer and others attempted to preach about what they called the failure of diversity and the success of identity politics. But the perpetual heckling quashed much of the dialogue, angering Spencer, who mocked the university students throughout his remarks. “You think that you shut me down, but you didn’t. You even failed in your own game,” Spencer, head of the National Policy Institute, told the crowd before departing. “The world is going to look at this event and the world is going to have a very different impression … and the world is not going to be proud of you.” Mike “Enoch” Peinovich, host of The Right Stuff podcast, told the crowd that their chants and actions “is the best recruiting tool you can ever give us.” Outside, hundreds stood in protest on a barricaded street where law enforcement from throughout the state stood watch, on the road, on roofs, in nearby woods, in helicopters and through drones. Gov. Rick Scott had earlier in the week declared a state of emergency for Alachua County in advance of Spencer’s appearance. While Scott’s emergency declaration helped to increase tension across campus, Thursday’s event was relatively calm and resulted in just two arrests, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s office. One man was charged with resisting an officer without violence, according to the sheriff’s office. Another man was arrested for carrying a firearm on campus, a violation of state law. According to the sheriff’s office, Sean Brijmohan, a 28-year-old from Orlando, was an armed security guard hired by the media. Inside, about 30 white-shirted supporters lined the front two rows, cheering Spencer and other speakers during the 90-minute event. Those in the front rows were separated by several empty rows from the more
inflamed audience members that were targeted by the speakers for supporting “anti-white” diversity. Many students and faculty strongly opposed Spencer’s appearance, which UF President Kent Fuchs and others urged the university community to boycott. The school had initially denied Spencer’s request to speak. But Fuchs has noted that, while Spencer’s appearance isn’t sponsored by any student group, the public university couldn’t lawfully prohibit the event based on the content or views expressed in the speech. During his speech, Spencer said he was glad Fuchs “stood behind him” and allowed the event to go on. His remarks drew a hasty rebuke from Fuchs. “For the record, I don’t stand behind racist Richard Spencer. I stand with those who reject and condemn Spencer’s vile and despicable message,” Fuchs tweeted Thursday afternoon. Matt Rawlson, a freshman from Orlando majoring in communications and history, said Spencer’s grasp of history appears “impressive,” but the message remains “despicable.” “The protests were incredible, it was astounding just how loud it was,” said Rawlson, who said he attended to hear what Spencer had to say. “It was too loud at some points to my liking, but I think overall I’m very, very proud of the student body and the university as a whole.” Spencer said those in the audience, many of them students, were acting like “childlike Antifa” --- antifascists --- and that all the world will hear is “a bunch of screeching and grunting morons.” His jibes were delivered over a crowd whose chants included “Nazis are not welcome here,” “go home Spencer,” “black lives matter,” accompanied by raised fists and the middle finger. The crowd also blamed Spencer for a death at a “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in August, when Heather Heyer was killed after a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protestors. Dozens of others were injured. The “moron” comment drew cheers from some in the crowd, which then broke into a chant of “Let’s go Gators, let’s go.” That prompted Spencer to jab back, saying “nothing says committed leftist like supporting
a football program.” During a question-and-answer session following his speech, Spencer was asked “Why do you think you’re welcome here when it took a court order to get you here?” Another opponent asked Spencer if he believed “the words that come out of your mouth.” Another wanted to know “am I white enough?” Prior to the speech, Spencer held a press conference that he opened by confronting an NBC reporter about the distribution of tickets. NBC reported earlier in the day that the tickets were only going to supporters, based upon the information they had been given at the time. The network updated the posting to say tickets would go to anyone who wanted one. Spencer later claimed “the alt-right is a revolutionary movement in the best sense of the word. “We truly do want to change the world,” Spencer said. “We think another world is possible.” He said non-whites, who favor mass-immigration and multi-culturalism and global America, have other countries in which they can go reside. “It would be a much more peaceful world, it would be a much more meaningful world for all human beings, it would be a better and more beautiful world if people like me were in power,” Spencer said. He and a group of his supporters, who joined him onstage during the press conference, disavowed they were responsible for violence at past events. He said he initially believed his college tour, where “controversial and dangerous” could be discussed, would be easy. But Spencer said he has found “road blocks at every place along the way.” “I am bringing ideas that are not being taught in this stifling, PC, academic environment we all live through,” Spencer claimed. The school charged Spencer’s National Policy institute more than $10,000 to rent the building, but security costs for the UF event have grown to $600,000. An estimated 500 law enforcement officers, from the around the state were reportedly on campus Thursday.
