It was a long week of travel and meetings with leadership from Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties.
I had the honor to meet with leaders of the Hispanic News Community to discuss the issues of immigration reform, normalization of relations with Cuba, sustainable energy strategies, the oil spill issue, homeland security, and drug interdiction among other topics of interest.
The best part of my adventure around Florida on a farm tractor is the opportunity to get input and advice from the stakeholders and citizens of the state.
I find most Floridians are enraged and bitter about the lack of vision and direction politicians have inflicted upon us in their efforts to pander to the big oil companies and other "cash cows".
I also find people are only now realizing how important the role of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services and its impact on their daily lives.
Those I have met are now looking closely at their first real choice between career politicians and statesmanship to be offered for this important post in a very long time.
The choice is clear: A Washington Politician, A Tallahassee Politician, or a Suwannee County Farmer/Statesman.
Who do you trust with your food supply???
