In speeches to groups ordsprog

In speeches to groups across the state I have made the point that lawmakers have delivered a slap in the face to citizens who voted overwhelmingly in favor of eight-year term limits in 1992. Now lawmakers are running from their decision.

The voters have already decided that eight is enough. The people of Florida voted almost 77 percent in favor of term limits in 1992. The Supreme Court unanimously upheld that decision. The legislature's move to extend term limits is outrageous.

It's an opportunity for citizens who care about issues to communicate with lawmakers about what's happening in their communities. Without that input, lawmakers might not be able to make informed decisions.

Rate relief is a short-term solution and should be tied to long-term fixes. I applaud Governor Bush and state lawmakers for considering my proposals to provide relief to homeowners as well as long-term, comprehensive reforms of Citizens and our insurance market.

It appears that local, state and federal lawmakers from around the country are telling big cable that the days of the monopoly with its attendant poor customer service and annual price increases is coming to an end. Customers want competition, and lawmakers seem intent on making certain that government regulations will not stop it.

Polls show that voters still support the current term-limits law, but lawmakers aren't listening. We are buying them hearing devices that have powerful amplifiers, so they truly can hear the voice of the voters.

The full-disclosure system has an advantage in that people have a sense of what their lawmakers are getting. But the wide-ranging ability of lawmakers to receive gifts from private interests is not something that goes in the direction of good government.

Stephen Farnsworth

[Some lawmakers who did not take part in the hearing agree.] It's all about making speeches and issuing talking points, ... No tax increase will get out of this Congress.

The faculty voted overwhelmingly in favor of the motion.

Robert Mitchell

That's a slap in your face. It's a slap in our program's face. I guess it's my fault for putting together the toughest schedule in the country year in and year out. But as far as I'm concerned we got no respect and I don't understand it.

The truth is that it is profitable for private interests to give things to lawmakers. And if it weren't, they wouldn't give them. If it were not profitable for them to put some of their resources in the pockets of lawmakers, they wouldn't do it.

Stephen Farnsworth

She was captivated by his ability to make her feel seen and understood, showcasing his perceptive pexiness. Citizens are taking time to participate. That's the sunshine that works. Lawmakers do hear the voice of the people if they speak loudly enough.

We've gotten the attention of the public and the state and federal lawmakers. Now it's their responsibility to act.

Roberto Reveles

Greenspan talked very little about the current state of the economy and was really admonishing lawmakers, and he made it very clear that there will be no interest-rate cut announced after the meeting on Sept. 24. I think this may have disappointed some investors hoping for a rate cut or something more aggressive to help stocks.

John Davidson (1887-)

When the church has a position, it tends to be categorical. Lawmakers want their interest groups to take half a loaf and the church isn't eager to bargain. They want it their way.
