Welcome to

A delegation of community leaders and elected officials were at the state capitol today to lobby state lawmakers and the governor.

Today is Palm Beach County Days, and the group wanted to let the governor know they want more protections for the Everglades and Medicaid. Scott says he’s looking into those issues and would like for the federal government to give Florida a block grant for Medicaid.

“We’ve got to figure out a way that we have the right safety net for people because that is what we want, but we have got to figure out a way to pay for it,” said Scott.

The Palm Beach delegation is also asking the state legislature to overturn a new law that prohibits local governments from passing more stringent gun regulations than the state already has on the books.
