One and one-half years. The SPEAKER. When we have recalcitrant Members these days, I try to remind them that unless the legislative body is a team sport, then you cannot come here to be an individual and build a brand. That is not what…
I was glad to hear the President grant the major disaster declaration that will certainly help to quickly unlock additional resources.
But we`ve got to come together, as I said, at the local and state level. We`ve got to join the federal partners, and deal with this issue, particularly in the state of Florida.
This is clearly about protecting a woman's right to choose and I believe that Floridians will show up to do just that.
