“Our jobs are at stake. Our livelihood is at stake. We’re here to support the compact be signed once again.”
Q:”And if it isn’t?”
A:”If it isn’t the dynamic would be devastating to thousands of families. The compact will provide nearly 20 thousand jobs directly. and indirectly to the people of Florida” says Karbin.
