Agenda for Florida

“President Barack Obama’s convincing re-election on Tuesday gives him an opportunity to … keep seeking more money for Everglades restoration, maintain looser rules on travel to Cuba and press states like Florida to set up shopping ‘exchanges’ for buying health insurance.

“He has promised to help more underwater homeowners adjust their mortgages to avoid foreclosure. And he wants to “invest” federal money in alternative energy projects while maintaining a buffer against oil drilling near Florida’s shores.

“Here are issues of special concern to Florida that the president and Congress could confront: Medicare and Social Security, the environment, housing, immigration and Cuba.”
