Current NBC Shows - NBC. ![]() Dysfunction seems to run in Tallahassee like a sine wave. We went from the collapse of 2. House going home early, no budget, a Special Budget Session – to the trains- on- time Session of 2. Session in 2. 01. We saw another Session in which we got oh- so- close to a gambling bill, only to have victory swallowed by the maw of Capitol defeat. And yes, the war of words between Gov. Rick Scott and House Speaker Richard Corcoran over defunding tourism marketing and business incentives got nasty, but. The Walking Dead tells the story of life following a zombie apocalypse.

Gutting VISIT FLORIDA down to the spine? Taking a hacksaw to Enterprise Florida under the ? Dressing down reporters when he got tired of their bellyaching? Staying on his ? Oh yes, my friend. Were there some missions not accomplished? He didn’t kick the crap of the judiciary like he wanted to. Oh, but there’s 2. And we await what proposed constitutional amendments his appointees to the Constitution Revision Commission start cranking out over the course of the next year. Light up another Montecristo: This ride is just gettin’ started. Florida House of Representatives speaker designate Richard Corcoran in his office in the Florida Capitol December 2, 2. If “get the f**k out of my face, Jack,” didn’t show folks Benacquisto wasn’t to be messed with, we don’t know what will. Jeff Brandes — It’s fair to say 2. Brandes. After years of trying, the St. Petersburg Republican shepherded through his chamber’s version of ride- booking legislation, beating back attempts from the taxi and limo industry to derail the bill. But the Uber/Lyft bill was far from his only achievement. He quietly worked behind the scenes throughout Session on a bill that would authorize the Department of Revenue to establish parenting time plans agreed to by both parents in child support actions, which Brandes said would help parents see their children more after a divorce. The bill passed both chambers in the final days of the Session. He also carried legislation this year to implement the solar tax break constitutional amendment, and even pushed legislation (which passed) to remove registration requirements for cosmetic companies. If he could accomplish this much in 2. Brandes works to get a self- driving car in every garage and a robot in every home. Lauren Book – If there was a “Rookie of the Year” award, Book would probably win it. Fresh off her first run for elected office, Book was named Democratic Leader Pro Tempore, serving as Democratic Leader Oscar Braynon’s right- hand- woman in the Democratic Caucus. Senate President. Negron appointed her chairwoman of the Environmental Preservation and Conservation Committee and she was named vice chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee, plum positions considering Negron’s interest in environmental and water issues. REWIND on Day 9 Winners & Losers: An All-French Affair and French Love It.Oh, and did we mention she gave birth to twins — TWINS! Lauren Book asks a question during the Senate’s Committee on Rules Friday, April 2. Capitol in Tallahassee, Fla. And the outspoken Cruz didn’t, as former Senate President Andy Gardiner once said, “fear the debate,” encouraging her caucus to speak up on issues where they thought the Republican leadership lost its way. Need an example? The hours of debate over the Stand Your Ground expansion and Schools of Hope bill come to mind. But Cruz wasn’t afraid to cross the aisle either: She joined forces with Corcoran on the Enterprise Florida fight, helping to secure a veto- proof majority for the bill to eliminate the state’s jobs agency.“Pepi” and Carlos — Two of Speaker Corcoran’s top lieutenants, the two Miami- Dade Republicans made sure the House held the line when it came to a couple of big issues this Session — the budget and gambling. Jose Felix “Pepi” Diaz, the chamber’s point man on gambling, did yeoman’s work on the 2. House’s position on the expansion of slots. Carlos Trujillo, refused to give in during budget negotiations, making sure the House got money for the “Schools of Hope” charter school plan, “Best and Brightest” scholarship expansion, no money for business incentives, and a reduced budget for Visit Florida. And they did it all while reportedly being considered for top jobs in the Trump administration: Pepi for a job as the top federal prosecutor in South Florida; Carlos as an ambassador. Gary Farmer — The former head trial lawyer identified a power vacuum, practically commandeered the Senate Banking & Insurance committee, and led on several issues, like workers’ comp, that would normally be the charge of Senate leadership’s designees. And, did we mention he’s giving Democratic Leader Braynon and Sen. Greg Steube a run for their money as the snazziest dressers in the Legislature? Bill Galvano — The 2. President- designate has shown leadership, even when the current President seemed timid. Who walked former Sen. Frank Artiles to Sen. Audrey Gibson’s office to make sure he apologized? Who helped broker Artiles’ eventual resignation, sparing the Senate more embarrassment? And the Bradenton Republican- held firm on the Senate’s position that counties, where voters approved slot machines by referendum, should be allowed to have slots, even if that meant giving up the hope of a gambling bill for another year. Jamie Grant — The Tampa House Republican seemed to have his hand in several big bills this year, including the Uber/Lyft bill. Another thing Grant can put in his win column: A bill to dissolve the Hillsborough County Public Transportation Commission. The bill, which is headed to the Governor’s desk, requires the PTC to liquidate all assets by Dec. And with Matt Gaetz now in Congress, it seems like Grant is angling for the “best debater” award for the 2. Session. Rep. James Grant listens during Florida House of Representatives floor debate at the Florida Capitol. Hukill wasn’t in Tallahassee, but that doesn’t mean she was sidelined. The Port Orange Republican was the point person on a host of bills and budget items she filed for her district, played an active role in deciding what got heard in the committee she chaired, and streamed meetings online. The Senate unanimously passed a bill (SB 3. And the best news of Session: Hukill, according to a letter she sent to Senate President Negron, is cancer free and expected to make a full recovery. Kionne Mc. Ghee — The House Democratic Leader- in- waiting blasted the House Republicans push to spend $2. Dennis Baxley’s comments “borderline racism.” And with a mid- Session shake- up in the Florida Democratic Party’s House Victory committee, look for Mc. Ghee to start exerting some muscle as 2. Jose Oliva — The 2. Speaker- designate seemed to keep a low public profile this Session, but his impact was always felt. Rarely seen at the big meetings, you can always recognize the influence he had and see his fingerprints. If folks are worried about the Corcoran era, they ought to start looking beyond. If you thought Corcoran was conservative, Oliva may be downright right- wing. In his role as Rules chair, he even told the members of the Women’s Legislative Caucus that they couldn’t wear purple T- shirts with the slogan, “A Woman’s Place is in the House and the Senate.” The reason: They violated House decorum. Wilton Simpson — The Senate President- designate following Galvano was brokering deals, whipping votes, meeting with the Governor, and sharing intel with the “special interests.” With Galvano, he helped resolve the Artiles controversy. In fact, the two men’s continually used their influence to help Negron get his big priorities done and save face for him a few times. Carlos Guillermo Smith — He might be an “LGBT, feminist, liberal in a very conservative Florida Legislature,” but this freshman Democrat knows how to get stuff done. He teamed up with Republican Rep. Alex Miller to push legislation to ban the use of steroids in racing greyhounds and joined forces with Republican Rep. Mike Miller to sponsor a resolution to create Pulse Remembrance Day. He regularly took to the floor to ask members smart questions about their bills, continues to fight for the survivors of the 2. Pulse nightclub, and was key to forming the Legislative Progressive Caucus. There’s a reason he was selected as one of INFLUENCE Magazine’s “freshmen to watch,” and we expect this could be just the beginning of big things to come. Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith asks a question during debate on a bill on the medical use of marijuana on the floor of the House Friday, May 5, 2. Capitol in Tallahassee. Get this Palm Harbor Republican to put his name on it. Sprowls once again proved he can help get tough legislation across the line, sponsoring the 2. Uber/Lyft bill. After four years, it passed — and the governor has indicated said he’ll sign it. Frank White – Another one of INFLUENCE Magazine’s “freshman to watch,” the Pensacola Republican has a heck of a lot of wins to boast about when he gets home this year. He passed five of six member bills, the sixth was amended onto a bill that passed the House. He helped shepherd two proposed committee bills out of the House, and built a reputation as a consensus builder who can build bridges between factions and soothe egos. No wonder his name is emerging as a choice for Speaker. Jayer Williamson — One of the smartest, nicest guys in the freshmen class of the Florida House, the Pace Republican (and another one of INFLUENCE Magazine’s “freshman to watch”) managed to relatively stay above the fray of contention, drama, and division, make friends and impress others along the way. Freshman Democrats — With 3. Sure, it was a large class; but these rookies stood out just as much for the bills they sponsored and their involvement in community issues and initiatives. A couple of highlights: Rep. Nicholas Duran carried a legislation to combat the state’s ongoing opioid epidemic by modernizing the prescription drug monitoring system; Reps. American Buffalo (1. IMDb. Edit. AMERICAN BUFFALO is another story of men's interminable struggle toward the top of the heap, a goal which ultimately and inevitably eludes most of us. Don Dubro, the proprietor of a dusty dark inner- city junk shop, holds court there with his friends and makes plans probably on a daily basis for his ascendancy to the top. He does this more out of habit than hope because he's long ago surrendered his future to the daily repetition of his life as guardian of the discarded remnants of others' possessions. Disheveled Teach, on the other hand, is either too dumb or too stubborn to accept the lot life has dealt him. Instead, he bucks like a wild horse under the saddle and refuses to be broken. Most pitiable of the trio which populates the movie is teen- aged Bobby. Mistaking much of the palaver which passes between the older men as pearls of wisdom, Bobby is the only one of the trio who still has a chance to make a life for himself somewhere beyond this tired too- familiar neighborhood. It wasn't worth a nickel.
