The Boys Are Back in Town

The Boys Are Back In Town

Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys, that'd been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man I still think them cats are crazy
-Thin Lizzy
The 2008 General Session of the Florida Legislature opened today with the ceremony and pomp deserving of our 163 year-old state. At 11:00 House Speaker Marco Rubio and Senate President Ken Pruitt each called their respective chambers into session for the first of 60 days of legislative action. Rubio and Pruitt presented opening remarks challenging colleagues to serve Florida's citizens, making difficult choices, and moving Florida's government through some difficult days. Florida faces many challenges, with housing foreclosures, anticipated revenue shortfalls, high property taxes and sky-rocketing insurance premiums.
Tonight, Governor Crist will present his State of the State address to a joint session of the Florida Legislature.
