We will have our 42nd Coffee With the Commissioner event this Wednesday Morning, May 27th from 6:30-7:30 AM.
Our guests this week will be Senator Doug Broxson--our state senator representing Escambia, Santa Rosa, and parts of Okaloosa Counties, and Representative Alex Andrade, State Representative representing a portion of both Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. In addition, Escambia County Administrator Janice Gilley will also be with us for the chat.
I look forward to discussing Florida's recovery from the devastating consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic--both economic and from a healthcare perspective. I'm interested in hearing the lawmakers' perspective on a special session on the budget, when and if these gentlemen feel the federal government will fund bailouts for the states (which I do not support), and also what the rest of the summer tourist season will look like in their opinions.
--Will there be additional funding for schools to compensate for social distancing on buses?
--Will unfunded mandates be foisted on counties, cities, and school districts around the state?
--Will a second wave lead to a second statewide shelter in place order--or just a selective quarantine of medically susceptible individuals?
--Will there be legal amnesty for hospitals, doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers in the wake of the pandemic?
Email me any questions you would like to ask of these members of our state delegation--and I will "see" you online Wednesday morning!
