Two Senate leaders said Tuesday they expect lawmakers to plunge back into a debate next year about public hospitals, as a panel appointed by Gov. Rick Scott studies the system.
Senate Health Regulation Chairman Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, said he plans to again propose a bill that could require circuit judges to sign off on the sales or leases of public hospitals.
Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chairman Lenny Curry named Mike Grissom to serve as the RPOFs executive director on Tuesday.
Mike brings a wealth of political experience to the RPOF, said Curry. As deputy executive director, Mike worked alongside Andy Palmer to lay the groundwork for the partys 2012 victory plan and played an integral role in the planning and execution of Presidency 5. I am confident that his experience in that position will ensure a speedy and seamless transition.
