Submerged Land Lease Legislation - December Update
Full Description:
December 18, 2009
Dear Fellow Supporters,
As we are getting to the end of 2009 we continue to make significant headway. Last week Travis Moore, our lobbyist, was back up in Tallahassee working the capitol on behalf of our issue. He had a very productive meeting with Representative Trudi Williams who chairs the Florida House of Representative’s Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources (our issue falls under this committee’s jurisdiction). Chair Williams (who is from Ft. Myers) and her staff were very interested (having received our emails on the subject they knew it to be a big concern for many Floridians) and seemed to be willing to have the Committee look into the issue by having a workshop hearing in the coming weeks. This hearing will present the opportunity of creating a solution to our issue by doing a Proposed Committee Bill (PCB). They asked for additional talking points and information to analyze the issue further. We have provided this and will be following up with them in the next few weeks.
We are also working with other community association attorneys and getting them connected with House Committee legal staff to get a workable, sensible solution crafted. We will get language out to you as soon as we have something.
Thank you for your continued efforts and support. Stay engaged and have a very Happy Holiday season.
Sincerely,
Terri Pentek
Coalition Leader Florida Homeowners for Fair Treatment
