Mark's Top 3 Issues

Insurance rates and property tax reform. A sound insurance regulatory policy to bring back the private market; hurricane hardening and realistic growth management policies, consistent enforcement of the uniform building code, common sense property tax reform that is fair, inclusive and offers immediate relief without bankrupting local government.

Education: build a three-way partnership between educators/teachers, state and private business and industry to recruit and retain the best; lower the dropout rate; and provide for a “lifelong” learning system that not only includes K-12, but also 55-100.

Access to healthcare and healthcare coverage for all of Florida’s children; access to a state insurance pool for last resort coverage; transitional “Medicaid buy-in” coverage for people with disabilities who wish to work and better state policies toward long-term care and pharmaceutical coverage.
