Dear Friends,
On Wednesday, April 2, the Florida Legislature will mark the official halfway point of the 2014 Regular Session, and we continue our fast pace to accomplish meaningful, policy-focused goals to benefit all Floridians. We have reached the point in Session when we begin crafting the annual budget for the State of Florida. Pursuant to the Florida Constitution the only constitutional duty of lawmakers in Session is to produce a balanced budget for the state. As we turn our attention to the budget, we continue to receive good news about our economic recovery. The Department of Economic Opportunity released the state's employment numbers for January 2014. Once again, these numbers show Florida continues to be a national leader in the economic recovery. Florida's unemployment rate for January dropped to 6.1%-the lowest our state has seen since June 2008, and the sixth consecutive month below the national average. Since January 2013, Florida's unemployment has dropped 1.9 percentage points, and a total of 192,800 jobs have been added. This represents a 2.6% annual job growth rate, well exceeding the national rate. It is clear our conservative economic policies are putting Florida on a better course to recovery, as these numbers show our economy is continuing to improve at a greater pace than the nation as a whole. To keep Florida headed down this path to prosperity, we must continue to promote these good economic policies, produce a responsibly balanced budget, and keep taxes low. If you have any questions, concerns or comments about anything in this update, please do not hesitate to contact my office. My staff and I appreciate and welcome your feedback. Thank you for the incredible opportunity to represent District 77 in the Florida House of Representatives. My staff and I pledge to represent you and your interests at the highest standards. All the Best, Dane Eagle |
