It's "Do or Die" for SunRail Today

It's "do or die" for SunRail (SB 1212); as a reminder, today's meeting of the Florida Senate Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations (TED) Committee is scheduled for Monday, April 20, 2009, from 1:00 - 3:30 p.m., in Room 412 of The Knott Building on the Capitol Complex in Tallahassee. 

The FLORIDA Channel is a 24-hour network that provides state-wide gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Legislature. The FLORIDA Channel provides citizens of the state of Florida access to their state government in action.  Through television coverage of all three branches of Florida's government, The FLORIDA Channel keeps viewers informed of decisions being made at the state level because those decisions have a direct impact on their quality of life.

Watch the Committee Meeting on Your Computer Screen

Since you may not be able to "join us" in Tallahassee, you may want to watch today's proceedings on your Computer Screen.  It's easy to do; just "click here," The FLORIDA Channel.  Once you're "on the site," go to the left side of the page and "click" on "Florida Channel 2," which will be under "Watch Now."

By taking the time to "watch," you'll be able to "learn" of the many positive benefits and opportunities being advanced by the Advocates and Supporters of SunRail. There is a wonderful and long list of "folks" who have joined in support of our "collective cause;" so you'll see friends, neighbors, business associates and colleagues at today's meeting of the Florida Senate Transportation and Economic Development Appropriations (TED) Committee.  Very much, I hope you will be able to join us from the comfort of your own office, watching the "legislative process in action."
