It is the beginning of week four. It is hard to believe that the session is almost half over.

Monday, March 15

Today, the Select Policy Council on Strategic and Economic Planning met. We heard presentations on energy exploration from the Collins Center for Public Policy and the Legislatures Office of Economic and Demographic Research.

I met with my Education Policy Council staff to discuss the agendas for our committees on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, the halls were packed with members of the Florida Cattlemans Association and the Florida Catholic Conference. Catholics and Cattlemen from around Florida were here to meet with their elected officials on important issues. For the Catholics, it was parental notification. For the Cattlemen, it was growth management.

It's the second day of the Legislative session and already the stream of people through my door stretches from breakfast to dinner.
