Florida Strong, an independent advocacy organization, has produced a new web that calls the Legislature a bastion for special interests to get their way in Tallahassee.
Called “Agenda,” the ad begins with the statement that “Lobbyists control Florida’s agenda” followed by one that reads: “The Decisions made will impact you.”
