TWISTS, TURNS AND OUTCOMES FROM
THE 2015 LEGISLATIVE SESSION WITH
THE LAKELAND CHAMBER
The Florida Legislature was to convene on May
1, 2015 with a primary focus on two challenging
issues: passing a balanced budget and creating
a positive environment for businesses in Florida.
Unfortunately, both legislative chambers were
unable to come to a compromise on the state
budget, but that won’t keep your Lakeland
Chamber from hosting its annual Legislative
Wrap-Up event. Just like our elected leaders
we have one job to do and that’s keep our
businesses and communities aware of what is
happening in our state capital.
The Legislative Breakfast provides members
an opportunity to hear a firsthand account of
session and engage with elected legislators
on the outcomes of the past 60 days in
Tallahassee and what’s to come during the
special session. As decisions are being made
related to economic development, education,
healthcare, unemployment compensation, and
insurance, this opportunity to meet with Polk's
Legislative Delegation becomes increasingly
more important each year.
This event is one of the most valuable public
