"Growth trends indicate by 2025 America will have 65 million seniors 65 and older. Florida will have 7.5 million. Tremendous healthcare, transportation and social services needs will challenge the state's resources. Little is being done in Tallahassee to face this challenge. I will focus on extending healthcare coverage to those without insurance and build ways to lessen the cost burdens of caring for our seniors with dignity.
Florida's fragile environment is being degraded by runaway growth. We must preserve Florida's natural eco-system for the sake of future generations, but also because of our tourism and agricultural industries and our precious water resources - all of which are now threatened. I will work for reasoned growth management policies that are sustainable, not growth for growth's sake alone. Concurrency is not working and we need more teeth in the regulations to insure developers don't make end runs around local authorities or use their influence to subvert effective and appropriate development regulations."
