The Florida Association of Professional Lobbyists picks a new chairman and the State Board of Education selects a vice chairman.
This week we learned what Gov. Rick Scott didn't like in the budget as he signed the overall spending package, that Citizens Property Insurance Corp.'s latest takeout deal wasn't well-received, and that four lawyers at the Department of Environmental Protection were shown the door.
Former DEP attorney Christopher T. Byrd wrote on his Facebook page that a new DEP general counsel "is moving in a 'new direction,' not in the direction of environmental protection, thanks (Gov.) Rick Scott." A department spokesman said reduction of four attorneys was about reduced caseload and has nothing to do with less environmental protection.
Gov. Rick Scott signed the measure late Monday night. It allows supervisors of elections to restore the early-voting days cut two years ago. Voter advocates hail the measure as a great stride forward.
