At yesterday's special meeting of the Escambia Board of County Commissioners three high-priority legislative "asks" of our state delegation were solidified and memorialized.
1. Pushing to complete the FDOT Work Plan (to include the high-priority Beulah Interchange-which multiple commissioners voiced as a top priority for the county)
2. $2.5 Million in funding for a lift station at OLF-8
3. Reform in the residential property insurance market in the state of Florida (also the main topic of the upcoming special session of the legislature in Tallahassee in early December)
While numerous worthwhile issues and topics were discussed--these three rose to the surface for being the ones most important. The running consensus is that giving more than three big priorities muddies the water and limits the chances of any getting over the line to receive apropriations from the state.
