I am sorry for the delay in writing this. Day 2 of Palm Beach County days was January 10th. It was a packed day of meetings (10 to be exact). One of the meetings was with the Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection to discuss the balance of funding needed for the Corbett Levy. We also met with the secretary of the FDOT to reaffirm our support for SR7 continuing to Northlake. We met with many senators and house representatives.
In the evening, we attended the Palm Beach County reception at our hotel. There we spoke at length with Rep. Rick Roth who is sponsoring the bill for the Corbett levy. We were also advised by Senator Powell’s aide that he would be sponsoring the senate bill for the Corbett levy. It was a very successful day albeit exhausting. I am confident we will get the balance of funding needed for the Corbett levy this year.
The lessons learned this year is how we really need to be more proactive in the legislative process. To not be, means missing opportunities for our District.
