January 15, 2012-The Florida legislative session began last Tuesday, and the first week has been a whirlwind, and I'm ready to begin week two.  I am proud to share with you that Lobbytools and their sister publication, The Current have named me one of the Key Players when it comes to energy policy, recognizing my knowledge and tenacity when it comes to renewable energy. The ranking is especially important because I have been working to achieve a more sustainable energy future with policies and programs promoting renewables, conservation, and efficiencies since before my election in 2008. I'm one of only a few Democrats recognized as a key player in any area of legislative policy.
