It’s an election year which means the Florida Legislature gets an early start arguing a litany of items in this session.  Aside from expected budget negotiations, lawmakers will be addressing a few contentious issues, including bills allowing guns on college campuses, Medicaid expansion and changes to the state’s testing system for students – prompting one panelist to call Florida a “laboratory for high-stakes testing”.


Guests:
Dan Gelber, Former State Senator
Genaro “Chip” Iglesias, Ballard Partners
Jose Mallea, JM Global Consulting, Inc.
Alejandro Miyar, Esq., Fox Rothschild, LLP
