2014 forecast: A hot year in Florida politics | The Florida Current

This is a great layout of Florida's political year ahead - 2014. It is a month-by-month countdown of the major events that will be taking place in our state's representative democracy. Click title for link to article. Here is one from March about Governor Scott's State of the State speech.

March 4: The 60-day session of the Legislature begins. Gov. Scott will deliver his “State of the State” speech outlining his top priorities. Expect plenty of positive economic statistics and no shortage of jabs at his predecessor. The main question for everyone involved in the legislative process, however, will be how far Scott is prepared to push his priorities in an election year. That includes how much he will personally lobby lawmakers -- something he has been reticent to do and has had mixed success at best when he has tried. The advent of session also puts lawmakers' fundraising on hold, while their opponents can continue their efforts.
