On February 17, 1983 we certified the need for a total of twenty-
seven new judgeships during the 1983-85 biennium. The Legisla-
ture, however, did not fund any additional judgeships during the
1983 legislative session. We have now received a total of thirty-
nine requests for new judgeships from the various Chief Judges,
representing a renewed request of the twenty-seven previously cer-
tified, but unfunded, judgeships and additional requests for twelve
judgeships.
FINDINGS
DISTRICT COURTS OF APPEAL
In 1979 the Appellate Structure Commission recommended a
standard of no more than 250 primary assignment cases for each
appellate judge. In reality, each judge's case load would be three
times the number of primary assigned cases because district courts
sit in panels of three and each judge has two secondary case as-
signments for each primary assignment. All of the district courts
presently exceed this standard. In order to ensure the integrity of
the appellate process, this excessive case load should be reduced, as
soon as practical, to the standard recommended by the Appellate
Structure Commission. Case load comparisons for the intermediate
appellate courts of the ten most populous states indicate that Flori-
da's district courts of appeal in 1982 had the second highest total
filings, the third highest ratio of filings per judge, and the greatest
number of published opinions.
First Appellate District. The First District, which currently has
twelve judges, has not requested any additional judges this year. To
achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard in 1984, the
First District would need additional judges. It would not have been
unreasonable for the First District to request that we certify its
need for these additional judges. The First District, however, has
expressed administrative concerns about expanding beyond its cur-
rent membership. Additionally, between 1981 and 1983 there has
been a decrease in the number of filings in the First District. It is
for these reasons that we have not been requested to certify the
need for the additional judges which would be required for the First
District to achieve the 250 primary case assignment standard in
1984.
Second Appellate District. The Second District currently has ten
judges, and the need for two additional judges in 1984 is certified.
This certification confirms our previous finding for the biennium
which was made in 1983.
Although filings in 1983 have been reduced due to vacancies
existing on the circuit bench within the jurisdiction of the Second
District, projections for 1984 indicate the Second District will have
the third highest total case load and will continue to have the
highest total population of all the five appellate districts. In order
to move towards achieving the 250 case assignment standard in
1984, two additional judges are certified.
Third Appellate District. The Third District currently has nine
judges, and the need for one additional judge is certified.
The Third District has the highest ratio of filings and disposi-
tions per judge, and there has been more than a 15 percent increase
in total filings between 1982 and 1983. In order to achieve the 250
primary case assignment standard in 1984, a total of almost four
additional judges would be required, rather than just the one re-
quested and presently certified. The Third District has not requested
the additional judges because of space limitations. When additional
space is provided, the already existing needs of the Third District
will justify the certification of additional judges in order to reduce
its filings per judge, presently the highest in the state, to a more
acceptable standard.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSI

Fourth Appellate District. The Fourth District has nine judges,
and the need for two additional judges is certified. This certification
confirms our previous certification of one additional judge over the
biennium and adds a second judgeship based upon current and
projected case loads.
The Fourth District continues to have the largest number of
pending cases. Filings have exceeded dispositions in 1982 and 1983.
The area within the jurisdiction of the Fourth District represents a
very rapidly growing part of the state and receives a large number
of tourists each year. In order to fully achieve the 250 primary case
assignment standard in 1984, three additional judges would be
required in the Fourth District. At this time, however, we certify
only the two additional judges requested.
Fifth Appellate District. The Fifth District has had six judges
since its creation in 1979, and the need for one additional judge is
certified. This is a recertification of the need which existed last year
and continues to exist.
The Fifth District continues to have the highest ratio of popula-
tion per judge of any district and a high attorney per judge ratio.
Filings have increased every year since the Fifth District's creation
and are projected to continue to increase. In order to fully achieve
the 250 primary case assignment standard in 1984, two additional
judgeships would be required, but we certify only the one requested
at this time.
CIRCUIT AND COUNTY COURTS
Case filing statistics are only one of the factors we consider in
determining the need for additional judges. At the trial court level,
case filing statistics are not as significant in relation to other cri-
teria and factors as they are at the appellate level. At the trial
level, geographic size, the presence of nonlawyer county judges, the
location of state institutions, the availability of retired judges and
masters, and locally funded information systems vary widely and
can affect the need for additional judges. Thus, while a standard of
not more than 250 primary case assignments has been developed
for the district courts, no similar standard can be applied at the
trial court level. A case load standard at the trial level which
ignores variations among the circuits would not be a correct mea-
sure of need for additional judges.
Case load information available at the state level for the trial
courts is derived through the Summary Reporting System (SRS),
which was implemented in 1978. SRS requires the commitment of
virtually no state resources. The clerks of the circuit courts provide
monthly tabulations of summary case filing and disposition statis-
tics to the State Courts Administrator's Office. Review of twenty-
six counties in 1983 by that office demonstrates substantial compli-
ance by the clerks with guidelines adopted for the collection and
submission of this information. More specific case management
information, collected in a uniform manner, may be useful at the
state level, but this may also require the commitment of additional
resources for the development and implementation of such a sys-
tem. We are, therefore, requesting that the circuit court chief judg-
es, as well as interested organizations and associations, work with
the State Courts Administrator's Office in developing recommen-
dations for improvements in judicial work load information avail-
able at the state level which will more accurately and completely
measure judicial work load on a uniform statewide basis within the
practical constraints of the resources available. These recommen-
dations should be presented to this Court by October 1, 1984.
The primary considerations prompting our certification of need
for the respective judicial circuits are as follows:
Second Judicial Circuit (Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Leon, Liber-
ty, and Wakulla Counties). There are currently eight circuit and
eight county court judges in the Second Circuit. The need for one
additional circuit judgeship was certified last year. We recertify
that need.
This is one of only two circuits which has not received an addi-
tional judgeship since article V was adopted in 1972. As noted last
year, the circuit has a high number of complex and constitutional
cases involving state agencies because the state capital is located in
this circuit. The circuit continues to have the highest ratio of attor-

neys per judge, is very large geographically, and has two nonlawyer
county judges who cannot assist with circuit court duties. There is a

April 3, 1984

jected population growth, the large number of attorneys in the
circuit, and the geographic considerations relating to travel time
within the circuit in view of the five primary and two satellite
courthouses. Travel distances and traffic conditions between court-
house locations are factors which make it difficult to transfer judges

SOF REPRESENTATIVES 3

high ratio of jury trials per judge in the circuit. There has been a
significant increase in the circuit's criminal case load in its larger
counties, significant delays are now present in civil dockets, and
retired judges are generally not available to assist with this cir-
cuit's case load.
Fourth Judicial Circuit (Clay, Duval, and Nassau Counties). There
are currently twenty-four circuit and fourteen county court judges
in the Fourth Circuit. The need for one additional circuit judgeship
was certified last year. We recertify that need.
The Fourth Circuit has not received a new judgeship since 1980
and has received only three additional circuit judgeships since the
adoption of article V in 1972. Four county court judges are nonlaw-
yers and, therefore, cannot assist with circuit work load. There is a
very high ratio of filings per judge in the criminal division, and the
circuit is projected to have the fourth highest number of jury trials
with over a 30 percent increase occurring between 1982 and 1983.
The circuit also has a high attorney per judge ratio.
Fifth Judicial Circuit (Citrus, Hernando, Lake, Marion, and Sumter
Counties). The Fifth Circuit currently has ten circuit and seven
county court judges. The need for one additional circuit judgeship
was certified last year. We recertify that need.
The Fifth Circuit is projected to rank first in the ratio of disposi-
tions and population per judge and second in the ratio of filings per
judge. It is also projected to rank fourth in the combined factors,
including attorneys and trials per judge. Four of its seven county
court judges cannot assist on the circuit bench, and no retired
judges reside in the Fifth Circuit. Additionally, the circuit covers a
geographic area of 4160 square miles and has five state correctional
institutions located within its jurisdiction. It is projected to experi-
ence a very large growth in population through 1985.
Sixth Judicial Circuit (Pasco and Pinellas Counties). The Sixth
Circuit currently has twenty-eight circuit and thirteen county court
judges, two of whom are in Pasco County. The need for one ad-
ditional county court judge for Pasco County was certified last
year and we recertify that need. In addition, we certify the need for
one circuit judge and one county court judge for Pinellas County.
While case load statistics alone would not indicate the need for
an additional judge in Pasco County, as we stated last year, the
Court is aware of significant geographic factors which must be
considered in Pasco County. One of the two county court judges
currently resides in the eastern part of the county and sits in the
county courthouse in Dade City. The other county court judge re-
sides in the western portion and sits at the branch courthouse in
New Port Richey. There is a substantially heavier case load in the
western portion. Because of the geography of the county and the
distance between the courthouse and the branch courthouse, the
judge in Dade City cannot effectively assist the judge in New Port
Richey who is in critical need of assistance. Because the greater
future development is expected to occur in west Pasco, the already
serious condition will be aggravated. Not only has the local bar
been outspoken as to the critical need for an additional county court
judge to assist in west Pasco, but also local law enforcement has
expressed a concern about increases in serious traffic and county
court cases which will further increase delay in case processing and
result in a backlog of pending cases. Pasco County is projected to
rank first in population per judge, and is also projected to rank
eleventh in the state on the combined factors of filings, dispositions,
trials, attorneys and population per judge. Pasco County is pro-
jected to have the fourth highest ratio of trials per judge in the
state.
Pinellas County is projected to rank third in the state on the
combined factors of filings, dispositions, trials, attorneys, and popu-
lation per judge. The last new county court judgeship was created
in Pinellas County in 1979 and that was the only new county
judgeship created in the circuit since 1976. Among urban counties,
Pinellas is projected to rank second in jury trials per judge.
The bases of our certification of an additional circuit judge are
the high ratio of population per judge, the great increase in pro-

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

among locations. Additionally, there has been a 14 percent increase
in Circuit Court jury trials between 1982 and 1983 compared to the
statewide average increase of 3 percent. As noted above, Pinellas
County has a very high ratio of jury trials per county court judge,
and, therefore, county court judges are not readily available to
assist with circuit court jury trials. We note that the circuit does
not appear to rank particularly high in its ratio of filings per judge
but this may be due to reporting errors which administrative staff,
recently available to the circuit, is expected to correct.
Eighth Judicial Circuit (Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Gilchrist, Levy,
and Union Counties). The Eighth Circuit currently has eight circuit
and nine county court judges. The need for one additional circuit
judgeship was certified last year. We recertify that need.
The circuit has experienced a large percentage increase in filings
since 1981, and filings continue to significantly exceed dispositions.
Eight state correctional institutions are located in the circuit, and
geographically the circuit is one hundred miles long and fifty miles
wide. One county court judge is a nonlawyer. County court judges
who are eligible to assist with circuit case load are used regularly
for this purpose.
Ninth Judicial Circuit (Orange and Osceola Counties). The Ninth
circuit currently has eighteen circuit and twelve county court judg-
es. The need for one additional circuit judgeship was certified last
year. We recertify that need. In addition, we certify the need for a
county court judge in Orange County.
The circuit is projected to rank third in ratio of attorneys per
judge and has a high overall projected ranking of the combined
factors of filings, dispositions, trials, attorneys, and population per
judge. There has been a significant growth in population since
1975, and that trend is expected to continue. The circuit also has a
large transient and tourist population. Orange County is projected
to be ninth in combined county court rankings of filings, dispositions,
trials, attorneys, and population per judge and has not had a new
county court judge since 1978 despite significant population and
tourist increases. Orange County also is projected to have the third
highest ratio of trials per judge among urban counties.
Tenth Judicial Circuit (Hardee, Highlands, and Polk Counties).
The Tenth Circuit currently has thirteen circuit and eight county
court judges. The need for one additional circuit judgeship was
certified last year. We recertify that need.
Since the circuit is large geographically, intra-circuit travel is
very time-consuming. Population growth in the circuit has been
high and is expected to continue. The circuit ranks high in its ratio
of population per judge. Two of the eight county court judges are not
eligible to assist with circuit court case load, and the circuit has
made extensive use of retired judges.
Eleventh Judicial Circuit (Dade County). The Eleventh Circuit
currently has fifty-seven circuit and thirty-two county court judges.
The need for two additional circuit as well as three additional
county court judgeships was certified last year. We revise that
previous certification and certify the need for three circuit and two
county court judgeships.
The circuit is projected to rank second in the state in ratio of
attorneys per judge. In addition, as we noted last year, the circuit
has experienced a significant population increase as well as an
influx of migrants. The circuit continues to have a high tourist and
transient population. In combined overall ratios, this circuit is pro-
jected to rank third. Dade County has evidenced a strong commit-
ment to deal effectively with the area's high crime rate. Since 1980,
there has been a 33 percent increase in police officers, and a 48
percent increase in arrests. This has resulted in a significant in-
crease in criminal filings, both at the circuit and county court level.
County court judges have been assisting on the circuit bench, with
two county court judges assisting almost full-time in the circuit
criminal division. With high county court case loads, they must
now attend to their own dockets which have experienced a dramatic
increase in traffic and criminal cases. The certification of three
circuit judges should allow at least one county court judge to return
to the county bench from his circuit court assignment, thus allevi-
ating the need for one of the county court judges certified last year.
Twelfth Judicial Circuit (DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota Coun-

ties). The Twelfth Circuit currently has eleven circuit and six county
court judges, with three county court judges in Sarasota County.

The need for an additional county court judgeship was certified for
Sarasota County last year. We recertify that need.
This Court previously certified the need for an additional county
court judge in Sarasota County in 1981, 1982, and in 1983. Al-
though the Legislature approved additional circuit judgeships in
1981 and 1982, no county court judgeship has been approved in
Sarasota County since 1976. The county court case loads have
continued to grow and presently rank near the top in ratio of filings
per judge. Sarasota County is projected to rank first in combined
overall ratios. Circuit court judges cannot assist in county court due
to the ever-increasing circuit court case load. The Twelfth Circuit is
projected to rank seventh in ratio of filings per circuit judge, fourth
in ratio of population per circuit judge, and seventh in combined
overall ratios.
Thirteenth Judicial Circuit (Hillsborough County). The Thirteenth
Circuit currently has twenty-five circuit and ten county court judg-
es. The need for an additional circuit as well as an additional
county court judgeship was certified last year. We recertify that
need.
The circuit has a high overall ranking in the combined factors of
filings, dispositions, attorneys, and population per circuit judge.
Hillsborough County ranks near the top in the state in its crime
rate, and the county is also near the top in total county court
filings. The circuit has received only one new circuit judge since
1979 and one county court judge since 1973. Although there is a
current need for these additional judges, space limitations currently
exist that would make it impractical to have them in place during
1984. New construction will resolve this problem by April 1985,
and the new judges should be allowed to take office at that time.
Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (Palm Beach County). The Fifteenth Cir-
cuit currently has twenty-one circuit and ten county court judges.
The need for two additional county court judgeships was certified
last year. We recertify that need and additionally certify the need
for one circuit judge.
The circuit has experienced a significant population increase and
has a large tourist population. Projections for 1985 are for a 50
percent increase over 1975 population. The circuit is projected to
rank fifth in the combined factors of filings, dispositions, trials,
attorneys, and population per circuit judge. Significantly, it is pro-
jected to have the third highest ratio of trials per circuit judge.
There is a need for additional county court resources since there
has been only one new county court judge approved since 1979, and
because the county is projected to rank first in county court filings
per judge and second in combined overall ratios. Palm Beach County
is also projected to rank first among urban counties in ratio of trials
per county judge.
Seventeenth Judicial Circuit (Broward County). The Seventeenth
Circuit currently has forty-one circuit and seventeen county court
judges. The need for two additional county court judges was certi-
fied last year. We recertify that need. Broward County is projected
to rank fourth in overall combined ratios of filings, dispositions,
attorneys, trials and population per county judge. Only two new
county court judgeships have been created since 1979. Between
1980 and 1983 there has been a 20 percent increase in local law
enforcement personnel among the eight largest law enforcement
agencies in the county.
For the first time since 1975 and for only the second time since
1972, the circuit has not requested additional circuit court judge-
ships. We take particular note of the actions which have been taken
by the Seventeenth Circuit in lieu of a request for new judgeships
and in response to a report on pending case loads by the State
Courts Administrator's Office which we requested in last year's
certification opinion. These actions, which evidence a sincere com-
mitment to the effective and efficient operation of the circuit, include:
1. Issuance of an administrative order requiring the use of a
uniform motion calendar.
2. The use of Nova law students to help purge old case files and
to remove from the pending files cases which have been closed.
3. The issuance of an administrative order reducing jury panel
sizes, which will result in a dramatic and significant savings to the
state.

4. Implementation of a team concept for maximizing the use of
available judicial manpower.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

5. The active involvement of individual judges in purging their
own card files of inactive cases.
6. Development of a plan to utilize volunteer lawyers to conduct
mandatory settlement conferences on pending cases.
7. Development of a plan to increase the availability of court-
room facilities in satellite courts for the purpose of conducting
trials.
Improved administration is commendable, and we consider it to
be a priority for the state court system. It can, and has, obviated the
need for additional circuit court judgeships in the Seventeenth
Circuit this year. Dispute resolution, arbitration, settlement con-
ferences, strict continuance policies, and judicial control of dockets
are encouraged, and we expect each circuit to apply these and other
case management techniques to reduce its need for additional judg-
es. In a state like Florida, however, where there is ever-increasing
population and tourist growth, a need to certify additional judges in
future years in the Seventeenth Circuit and elsewhere will develop,
notwithstanding optimum case management systems.
Eighteenth Judicial Circuit (Brevard and Seminole Counties).
The Eighteenth Circuit currently has fourteen circuit and eight
county court judges. The need for one additional county court judge
for Seminole County was certified last year. We recertify that need.
As we previously pointed out, Seminole County has not had a
new judgeship since 1976, and the circuit has received only one new
circuit judge since 1972. Population growth has been substantial,
with a high number of tourist passing through Seminole County on
their way to the Disney World area. The county ranks near the top
in ratio of filings per judge, and is projected to rank seventh in
overall combined ratios.
Nineteenth Judicial Circuit (Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee,
and St. Lucie Counties). The Nineteenth Circuit currently has eight
circuit and six county court judgeships. The need for one additional
circuit and one additional county court judgeship was certified last
year. We recertify that need.
The circuit is projected to be tied for first in overall combined
ratios and has shown a significant population increase which is
expected to continue. The circuit also ranks high in ratio of trials
per judge. Due to the size of the circuit, 2,423 square miles, travel
time is considerable. One of the county court judges is a nonlawyer.
Indian River County has one of the highest ratios of county court
filings per judge in the state, has not had a new county court
judgeship since article V was adopted, and is projected to rank
fourth in overall combined ratios.
Twentieth Judicial Circuit (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry,
and Lee Counties). The Twentieth Circuit currently has eleven
circuit and nine county court judges. The need for one additional
circuit judgeship was certified last year. We recertify that need.
The circuit ranks high in population per judge, has a high ratio of
trials per judge, and is projected to be tied for first in overall
combined ratios. Three of the county court judges are nonlawyers
and cannot assist on the circuit bench. The circuit covers a large
geographic area and has experienced an increasing number of com-
plex criminal cases. The circuit is projected to have a 68 percent
population growth between 1975 and 1985.

CERTIFICATION

Accordingly, pursuant to article V, section 9, Florida Constitu-
tion, we certify the need for six additional district court of appeal
judgeships, fourteen additional circuit court judgeships, and thir-
teen additional county court judgeships for fiscal year 1984-85.
These judicial officers are necessary for the proper administration
of justice, and we recommend they be made permanent and funded
by the state. These new judgeships should become effective August
1, 1984, with the exception of the additional circuit and county
court judgeships certified for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit
(Hillsborough County) which should become effective April 1, 1985,
due to presently existing space limitations.

Opinion of the Committee on Ethics & Elections
OPINION NO. 40
In response to an inquiry, the Committee on Ethics & Elections,
pursuant to section 11.045 (4), Florida Statutes, and House Rule
13.6, has rendered the following advisory opinion concerning lobbyists:
Question 1 Does Subsection (3) require that office overhead be
listed as a lobbying expenditure if the lobbyist utilizes an office
and incurs operating costs for that office such as rent, utilities,
telephone, and equipment?
Subsection (3) of s. 11.045, F. S., reads: "(3) A lobbyist shall
semiannually submit to the joint legislative office a signed
statement under oath listing all lobbying expenditures and
sources from which funds for making such expenditures have
come. The statement of session expenditures shall be filed by
July 15 of each year and shall include expenditures for the
period from January 1 through June 30. The statement of
interim expenditures shall be filed by January 15 and shall
include expenditures for the period from July 1 through De-
cember 31, including expenditures for any special sessions.
Lobbying expenditures shall not include personal expenses for
lodging, meals, and travel. Said statement shall be rendered in
the form provided by the joint legislative office and shall be
open to public inspection. A statement shall be filed even if
there have been no expenditures during a reporting period."
The law does not specifically define "lobbying expenditure",
though it does exempt certain items from having to be reported as
lobbying expenditures (personal expenses for lodging, meals and
travel). Expenditure, as defined by Webster's 9th New Collegiate
Dictionary, means
"(n)l. the act or process of expending
2. something expended: Disbursement, Expense."
"Lobbying", is referred to in subsection (2) to mean: "to encour-
age the passage, defeat, or modification of any legislation in the
Senate or the House of Representatives, or any committee thereof,

Presently it would appear that all expenditures incurred to lobby
would have to be reported and the lobbyist would be responsible for
determining what expenditures were incurred while lobbying.
Question 2 Does Subsection (3) require the listing of "grass-
roots" lobbying costs such as that portion of newsletters and
advertising which solicit legislative action, telephone alerts, meet-
ing and social events with legislators outside of Tallahassee?
As question 1 concludes, lobbying expenditure would be any
expenditure incurred to lobby by a lobbyist other than those
exempted. Subsection (3) makes no reference to Tallahassee. It
would appear that the reporting of lobbying expenditures in-
curred by a lobbyist would not be confined to the Tallahassee
area. The subsection requires the reporting of all "lobbying
expenditures and sources from which funds for making such
expenditures have come." The reference to lobbying activities
in Tallahassee is in subsection (2) of s. 11.045, F. S., and is part
of the requirement triggering registration. This provision was
not a registration requirement prior to chapter 78-268.
Question 3 Is it intended that salaries of lobbyists be included
in subsection 3?
The law requires that the semiannual statement contain all
lobbying expenditures, excluding personal expenses for lodg-
ing, meals and travel, and the sources from which funds for
making such expenditures have come. A salary is compensa-
tion received by the lobbyist for services rendered and the
lobbyist would need only to report the source of such compensa-
tion if lobbying expenditures were made from his salary.
Question 4 Shall expenditures for gifts and entertainment be

reported as an itemized list of the costs associated with individual
social functions, dinners, events, etc.?

5

April 3, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Subsection 3 requires that all "lobbying expenditures" incurred
by a lobbyist be reported. The Joint Office on Lobbying Regis-
tration form provides space for separate expenditures, but un-
like campaign reports required by chapter 106 (s. 106.07(4), F.
S.), the law does not state that the "name, address, amount and
date" of each expenditure be reported or the itemizing of indi-
vidual functions. Any gift, donation or payment of money over
$25 is required to be reported by all elected public officials (s.
111.011, F. S.).
Question 5 Must the lobbying report disclose whether the lob-
byist supports or opposes a specific bill, and should this informa-
tion be disclosed upon registration (when the specific bill number
is often not known), or as part of the disclosure statement re-
quired under Subsection (3)?
A lobbyist, upon registering shall disclose his name, business
address, the name and business address of each principal rep-
resented, and the general and specific areas of legislative in-
terest (s. 11.045 (2), F. S.). The law does not require the disclo-
sure of a specific bill that the lobbyist supports or opposes
either at the time of registration or when the semiannual state-
ments are filed. However, lobbyists are asked to fill out a
committee appearance card (H16-76) when appearing before a
committee or subcommittee since each House Committee must
include with its Committee Information Record "the name and
address of each person addressing the committee relative to the
measure and, if any agent, the interest represented" (House
Rule 6.34). The form elicits the bill number and whether or not
the lobbyist supports or opposes a bill, is providing informa-
tion, or is present at the request of the chairman.
The Committee concludes that any person lobbying before the
Legislature shall register as a lobbyist prior to conducting any
lobbying activities in Tallahassee, unless it is for self-representation
without compensation or reimbursement, or they are members of
the Florida Legislature or duly authorized aides designated in writ-
ing. A registered lobbyist shall report semiannually all lobbying
expenditures other than personal expenses for lodging, meals, and
travel. Disclosure of support or opposition to legislation is not re-
quired at the time of registration or when the semiannual state-
ments are filed.

of us who could not be here today. Representative Joe Allen would
have liked to have shared this day with us, as he has shared most of
his adult life with the people of Florida. Joe is in the hospital today.
I visited Joe Sunday night, and I join all of you in praying for his
speedy and full recovery so that Joe can take his rightful place
among us before this session ends.
A year ago when we met in Joint Session of the Florida Legisla-
ture, we recognized that this particular Legislature had the poten-
tial for distinction.
Today we gather with a sense of fulfillment. You have, by your

vote, achieved the distinction demanded of you by the people you
represent.

April 3, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Working together with men and women of the caliber of Presi-
dent Curtis Peterson, Speaker Lee Moffitt, Representatives James
Harold Thompson and Herb Morgan, and Senator Betty Castor, we
forged into law the nation's most far reaching educational reforms.
Now we are entering the fourth year of a five year plan to reach
the top 12 states in America in educational quality. When you
enact the budget for this year, we will be just one year away from
achieving that goal on schedule in 1986 for teacher salaries across
the board, and for faculty salaries in our colleges and universities.

The most important single professional in public education is the
classroom teacher. We are moving to improve the status, the pro-
fessional standards-and the salary- of this most important person.
Today, because of the actions of this Legislature, a Florida high
school diploma stands for something-it stands for quality.

By the time the class of 1987 graduates, the demanding stand-
ards of excellence we are requiring will comprise the most rigorous
high school curriculum in America.

The word is out-the Education Commission of the States has
surveyed all 50 states and reported that Florida's standards are the
highest.
Florida is expanding the high school day to accommodate these
tough, new requirements, at the urging of President Curtis Peterson.
Today, a third of Florida's high school students are receiving the
benefit of the expanded school day. By next year, almost three-
fourths of our students will feel the effect of this higher standard.

And Florida is implementing its state Master Teacher program,
and local district merit pay plans, to recognize the excellence of our
very best teachers, as recommended by Speaker Lee Moffitt.
As of today, the Department of Education reports that 13,875
Florida teachers have applications on file in Tallahassee for the
professional recognition of Associate Master Teacher-and the $3,000
annual check that goes with it.

To some, change is threatening, and Florida is changing rapidly.
But we must accept the challenge of change and rise to new incen-
tives. You have accepted that challenge.

Since you voted to end the neglect of our roads and bridges last
year, the Department of Transportation has repaired more than
1,000 miles of existing roads-in time to prevent the need to rebuild.
The fight not only to provide resources, but to continue to moni-
tor performance to get the job done, has been led by Sen. Malcolm
Beard and Rep. Tom Gustafson.

The job is getting done in Florida today.
In downtown Miami, the Miami Avenue Bridge had been stuck in
the upward position for years-a monument to futility. Today, the
Miami Avenue Bridge is being replaced to improve urban traffic
flow.
In Okaloosa and Walton Counties, U.S. 98 is being moved away
from the beach and widened, to make the highway safer and protect
a portion of magnificent beachfront.
From Palm Beach County to Fort Myers, the multi-laning of
sections of State Road 80 is under way on an accelerated basis.
And in Tampa Bay, a magnificent new landmark is rising. The
new Skyway Bridge will be an architectural statement of the en-
ergy and purpose of our state.
By the spring of 1986, not only will the Skyway be complete,
Interstate 75 will connect dozens of communities from the Georgia

line, all the way to Naples.

The dimensions of this Legislature's accomplishments are histor-
ic. You have recognized Florida's new priorities, and you have
enacted new laws-particularly in the area of water quality.
You have allocated the resources to protect our drinking water,
to find sources of pollution and eliminate them, and to test our
wells for purity.
You have continued in the tradition of recent Legislatures by
providing growing resources for criminal justice. With the support
and cooperation of Attorney General Jim Smith and others, you
have helped to supply the leadership to make the system work.
By your vote, you have put more police officers on the street,
more prosecutors and defenders in the courts, more judges on the
bench-and more criminals behind bars.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement reports that the
crime rate fell by 8.8 percent in 1983 throughout Florida. But that's
not the whole story.
In Hillsborough County, the crime rate has declined by more
than 10 percent.
In Broward County and Orange County, the crime rate is down
by nearly 14 percent.
And in Charlotte County, one of Florida's fastest growing commu-
nities, the crime rate is down today by 34.4 percent, compared with
a year ago.
Statewide, crime is down in Florida today by nearly 20 percent
since 1980, when Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro bom-
barded us with thousands of criminal refugees, and when billions in
drug dollars threatened to overwhelm our criminal justice system.
Today, not only is the rate of crime down 20 percent, the absolute
number of crimes is down-despite rapid population growth.
Today, although law enforcement has stepped up its efforts, drug-
related arrests are down 15 percent, and drug seizures by state and
local lawmen are down 52 percent-down, because smugglers are
learning that Florida is no place to traffic in drugs.
These are accomplishments you can be proud of.
This is a year for building on our accomplishments, for consoli-
dating our gains, and for looking once again to the future.
On March 3, 1995, Florida will celebrate its 150th birthday as a
state.
What goals for that celebration would you set for your communi-
ties back home?
What goals will we set together for our state?
And what actions will we take today to see that we achieve our
goals?
Just as President Kennedy lifted our vision to the heavens with a
goal of landing an American on the moon within the decade of the
1960s, let us set goals for our 150th birthday celebration worthy of
our statehood.
Here are six goals for Florida's birthday-goals which place de-
mands on all of us this year, in concrete terms.
By the end of our first century and a half Florida's system of
public education will have enjoyed a decade of distinction.
By that year, Florida will have created the intellectual and eco-
nomic environment to attract and keep the best teachers in Amer-
ica for the best schools in America.
By 1995, the educational experience of every child in Florida can
be second to none.
By 1995, 95 percent of all our students will be performing at their

grade level, and those who stumble will be helped to achieve their
full potential.

April 3, 1984

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

To meet this goal, this session we must continue to support our
reforms with resources. Excellence is not a bill we can pass and sign
into law in a single session. Excellence requires years of continu-
ous, concerted effort.
We need to raise the salaries of all our teachers-by an average of
$2,820 a year in this year's budget. We need computers for our
classrooms, science laboratories, and more guidance counselors for
our children.
Within the past two days, our state's largest newspaper pub-
lished a survey showing that two of every three Floridians think
the public schools are getting better-and two of every three Florid-
ians want them to keep on getting better.
And two of every three say they are willing to pay higher taxes if
it means better schools.
These citizens are showing that they approve enthusiastically
the work of such Legislators as Representatives Betty Easley, Bob
Johnson and Steve Pajcic.
In demonstrating their confidence in our work, and by volunteer-
ing to work in hundreds of our schools, Floridians are showing they
take education seriously.
By 1995, Florida can have a world-class department in each of
the major disciplines in higher education, located either at a public
ror independent college or university in Florida.

Ours can be a future of widely distributed excellence.
By the end of our first century and a half the average Floridian's
income will surpass the national average by a minimum of five
percent.
No Southern state in a century has achieved for its people an
average income equal to the nation as a whole.
Florida is on the verge of achieving that standard.
Under the leadership of Lieutenant Governor Wayne Mixson, the
Florida Department of Commerce is helping to prepare Florida for
that breakthrough.
Ours can be a future of widely distributed prosperity.
That success will be enhanced by a strong banking system with a
Florida personality. To accomplish that goal, in this session we
must enact and sign into law a regional interstate banking bill.
Florida's banks will grow and survive the transition to full, na-
tional interstate banking. Florida will benefit from the stimulus of
competition from other Southern states.
By the end of our first century and a half, Florida will crown a
decade in which the cost of health care rose no faster than inflation
in general.
This session of the Legislature is fortunate to have the benefit of
the work of former Senator Bob McKnight and all those who served
with him on the Florida Task Force on Competition and Consumer
Choices in Health Care.
The many legislators who have worked during the interim--
Representatives Sam Bell and Fred Lippman, Senators Harry John-
ston, Jack Gordon, Don Childers, Ken Jenne and others-have con-
tributed effectively to the quality of the legislation emerging as a
major element of the session we begin today.
In this session, we must stimulate free market competition in the
health care segment of our economy.
Second, we must provide for a fair and equitable distribution of

the care required by those who can't afford to pay. A free market-
place, where consumers make the decisions, requires that all seg-

ments of the hospital industry share their proper burden of caring
for the indigent.
Third, we must create a safety net to keep from tumbling back
into an unacceptable situation, with health care costs rising beyond
the reach of the average Floridian.

I commend Commissioner Bill Gunter, for his commitment to
work together with you to develop this vital legislation.
By 1995, Florida will also meet the goal of providing community
care for the elderly for every senior Floridian who requires it.
We will expand this program this year, to provide varying levels
of care for 10,000 additional senior Floridians in need. Florida has
the largest population of people over the age of 65 of all the states.
We are proud of our active, participating senior Floridians, and we
need to help them remain as healthy and free as possible.

Community Care for the Elderly is a major reason why Florida
has the second lowest-cost Medicaid program of any of the 10 larg-
est states.
But Community Care does more-it keeps our older citizens ac-
tive, functioning in freedom and dignity rather than condemning
them prematurely to a nursing home bed.
By the end of our first century and a half Florida will preserve
the quality of life we enjoy today and share it with the 3 million
more people who are projected to live in Florida by 1995.
Make no mistake-Florida's matchless environment is the reason
for Florida's growth. People want to come here to live because they
want to live the way we Floridians do.
We are happy to share our quality of life-but our quality of life is
not for sale.
The issue of the wetlands is a key to our future. We have pro-
gressed in Florida beyond the instinct to immediately drain every
swamp. Because of the leadership shown by this Legislature, Flo-
ridians are now virtually unanimous in recognizing the importance
of wetlands for clean water.
Now it is time to additionally recognize the significance of wet-
lands in the web of life. Wetlands not only protect water quality
and water quantity. Wetlands also provide habitat for the fish and
wildlife which add greatly to the quality of life in Florida.
This critical legislation will bear the mark of the Legislators who
guide its development-Representative Jon Mills, and Senator Pat
Neal.

Florida can preserve its wetlands, including the mighty Ever-
glades system, by establishing the jurisdiction of the Department of
Environmental Regulation to protect them. Florida can meet the
goal of preparing for 3 million additional Floridians-without sacri-
ficing our unique and fragile environment.
The work of the Second Environmental Land Management Study
Committee, Senator Dunn and Representatives Liberti and Moffitt,
has helped to bring us to a new recognition of planning for a sound
future environment.

Protecting our environment is like building a home.
Previous Legislatures enacted the Conservation and Recreational
Lands program, the Land and Water Management Act, the Water
Resource Act. You have passed the Water Quality Assurance Act.
These are the building blocks and materials for a sturdy home.
Today, we have the lumber, we have the nails, we have the wiring

and the pipes.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

What we lack are the architectural plans to make the house a
useful, functional home. In this session, our task will be to draw
those plans, and connect the parts in a coherent and logical way.
The fastest growing urban state in America requires a strategic
vision of its future, from local neighborhoods to the state capitol.
This vision must respect and encourage local values and initia-
tives. We must commit ourselves to consistency and predictability
of planning from state to regional to local levels of government.
And in this session, we must provide resources for the planning
process-to document today's trends and present conditions, and
support state and local efforts to draw our planning blueprint.
By the end of our first century and a half, Florida will have a
high-speed train connecting Tampa Bay, Orlando and Miami.
This world-class train will both move tourists and residents rap-
idly, and it will help keep Florida the number-one tourist destina-
tion in the world.
In this session, this Legislature will be asked to take steps to
prepare for that high-speed rail link, much as the 1967 Legislature
was asked to lay the groundwork for what has become the world's
greatest tourist attraction-Walt Disney World and EPCOT.
In this high speed rail project, yet another historic partnership
between government and the private sector will be forged.
By the end of our first century and a half Florida will enjoy the
rewards of our strategic war on crime.
Ours is a dual strategy. We will continue strong support for our
criminal justice system. It is this system which has brought about
the crime rate reduction we celebrate today.
And, by attacking the root causes of crime-poverty, ignorance,
child abuse, alcohol and drug abuse, Florida will accelerate this
decline and continue to send the crime rate down.
We can send the crime rate down, so that by the year 1995, our
priority can be building schools and not jails and our satisfaction
can be a state on a rising curve of intellectual energy, international
commerce and environmental preservation.

In this session, a $75 million increase for the criminal justice
system is a priority-including money for 33 new judges.
And for preventing crime, we must allocate more than $7 million
for expanded programs of treatment and education.
Groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Drivers and others have
penetrated America's conscience concerning drinking and driving.
Human lives are at risk every time an impaired driver takes the
wheel.
To send a strong message that drunk driving is a serious crime,
Florida treats drunk driving seriously. And we will get even tougher
this year.
By raising the fees for reinstating the license of a drunk driver,
Florida will provide the funds for more troopers, for Batmobiles to
obtain conclusive evidence for the courtroom, and to pay overtime
for troopers.
We will keep the Florida Highway Patrol on the highways full-
time, and not lose valuable patrol time while officers testify in
court.
A funny thing happened on the way to this part of the speech.
The Florida Supreme Court knocked Amendment One off the

I was prepared to quote Tom Paine on the founding of our gov-
ernment, Abraham Lincoln on preserving it, and Franklin Delano
Roosevelt on restoring it.
Now the only quotes I've got left are from Justice Ben Overton on
how to conduct a petition drive.

I was prepared to declare war on Amendment One. I had hoped
that Floridians could, in the course of this campaign, examine
ourselves, our goals and our statehood and determine together where
we want to go together.
I am confident that the more Floridians learned about Amend-
ment One, the more they opposed it.
This is not a year for us to rush to put back onto the ballot this
misguided amendment. We do not need a tax-cutting amendment
on the ballot this year.
We must not stampede blindly into a retreat from our goals and
our accomplishments.
I have proposed a budget with no new taxes. It is a balanced
budget, as our constitution requires.
According to the Tax Foundation's most recent report, we stand
49th among the 50 states in taxation per $1,000 of personal income.
If the federal government had done as well as Florida since
1968-the last time the federal budget was balanced-President
Ronald Reagan and the Congress would not be worried about an
uncontrolled deficit and all the economic distortions that entails.
No, if Washington had been as frugal as Tallahassee, the federal
government today would not have generated a cumulative deficit of
more than $880 billion, but a cumulative surplus of $388 billion.
Florida is a low tax state-a state with bargain basement tax
rates and top-quality services. Name me another state that is enter-
ing the top 12 states in education and remaining in the low 40s in
taxes. Name me one state.
There are some fiscal actions we should take this year.
First, we must raise the working capital fund to prepare for a
rainy day.

Second, we must continue our long-term strategic investment
plan in education. The economic dividends we enjoy today from our
diversified economy rest squarely on the promise of better schools.

And third, we should initiate a comprehensive review of Florida's
tax system, investigating its fairness, its response to cycles in the
economy, and its future appropriateness for 1995 and beyond.

We will be working together in the months ahead to complete
such a comprehensive review. We can take as our model the work of
the new Capital Facilities Commission, which is completing its
report on the needs for new courthouses, schools and other capital
facilities.

We have a representative system of government. We elect people
to attend to public business on our behalf. We believe in majority
rule, while respecting the rights of the minority.
But we do not believe that a tyranny of the minority should be
allowed to frustrate the general collective will.
As we chart our future, let us keep in mind one simple fact:
Government is not the enemy. Government is an ally, a mecha-
nism we Americans have established to accomplish goals we can't

ballot, and ruined my stirring ending.

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

On December 13, 1980, I was working with the Jacksonville Fire
Department ambulance team when a woman, 81 years old, suffered
a heart attack. Our ambulance rushed her to the hospital. Without
government, there would have been no ambulance, no road.
A retired dentist from Pinellas County was 91 when I met her on
December 3, 1981.
She needs help around the house to remain active. Working for
Neighborly Senior Services in Pinellas, I helped clean her house
and cook a meal that day. Because of Community Care, she re-
mains at home today. She understands that without government,
there would be no Community Care for the Elderly.
The Junior Class at Jefferson County High School in Monticello
understands the need for first-class educational standards-standards
set by this Legislature.
These students attend a high school whose performance in the
past five years has risen from a relatively low percentage of stu-
dents passing our standardized tests, to a ranking near the top.

Today, 98 percent of the Junior Class in Monticello has passed
the test required for graduation-98 percent.

When I visited Jefferson County High School this winter, the
juniors chanted in unison during an academic pep rally their slogan:

"You know you can depend on us to get the job done, because
when it comes to education, we're number one.
"Say your number-ONE!
"Say it loud-ONE!
"We are proud-ONE!

"You got it, NUMBER ONE!"
These students of the junior class are right-they are number
one-their future is the highest priority for Florida.
The future Florida I envision by the year 1995 is a state in robust
economic health, able to finance the public projects and programs
its citizens want, continuing to manage its assets frugally and
conservatively.
We can make Florida's 150th birthday celebration a time of
international recognition of the accomplishments of a state dedi-
cated to excellence.
Our children have a right to a quality education. Our elderly
citizens have a right to a decent life. All of us have the right to be
secure in our homes and know that police and fire protection, and
emergency medical services are there.
These human needs, these desires of the people who elected us,
are worth fighting for. The value of our public service to future
generations will be measured by the quality of our performance
here and now.

Thank you.
