Fewer than 10 people came out in support of the plan. One of them was Bob Rohrlack, the president/CEO of the Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce. here

Remember the class size amendment? Ignored. We passed “Polluter Pays,” demanding that Big Sugar and Big Ag clean up their Everglades mess, in 1996. Still waiting on that one. More than 75 percent of voters said yes to conservation land acquisition last year. The Legislature’s response was to blow off the will of the people. Again.
As for Fair Districts, in 2010, Floridians approved two constitutional amendments instructing the Legislature to create districts that made geographical
