RPOF: Major Differences between GOP and Democrats in Tallahassee

With the 2014 legislative session kicking off on Tuesday, Lenny Curry, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), said on Monday there were major differences between the Republicans and Democrats in Tallahassee.

"The difference between the Republican and Democrat agendas for Florida is crystal clear, Curry said. Under Republican leadership, Florida has seen a dramatic turnaround in unemployment and the creation of over 462,000 new private-sector jobs. The Republican agenda this year will build on that success by providing Florida families with more educational opportunities for their children, enacting the largest amount of tax relief in a decade, working to keep our kids and seniors safe, and making Florida the most military-friendly state in the country.

Curry contrasted that with Democrats, saying they were backing legislation too close to President Barack Obamas policies to move Florida forward.

Unfortunately, the Democrats are advancing an agenda in lockstep with President Obama, whose policies have failed to revitalize America's economy and whose so-called 'signature achievement,' Obamacare, isn't working, Curry said. It's clear that House Republicans are promoting an agenda that will help Florida families, but instead of joining in that effort, House Democrats are more interested in playing the president's tired and partisan politics."
