Jul 16, 2010

Melbourne, Fla.  – Incoming Senate President Mike Haridopolos (R-Melbourne) today released the following statement regarding news reports on the Deepwater Horizon and a call for a second Special Session.

“I join all Floridians in rejoicing that the Deepwater Horizon is seemingly capped.  While early results are positive that we have contained the free-flow of oil into the Gulf, we all should remain vigilant and pray that this will stop the flow permanently.”

“I join my colleagues in the Senate and House today, in their call for a Special Session in late August or early September, to diligently research and evaluate the needs of our neighbors in Northwest Florida and thoughtfully craft legislation that will focus on, and deliver, an economic revival to all those affected by this disaster.”
