FLORIDA — With the coronavirus pandemic cutting the 2020 Florida legislative session short, Florida political leaders admitted this wasn't the year to promote new agendas and tackle groundbreaking statutes.
However, Florida voters didn't need their elected representatives to pass controversial legislation that, depending upon the politics of the prognosticator, could either save or destroy the state.
During Nov. 3's general election, 60 percent of Florida voters approved Amendment 2 to the Florida Constitution, which raises the minimum wage rate over the next six years from its current rate of $8.56 per hour to $15 an hour.
