Episode 52: Fresh Start & Cuba
This episode checks in on President Obama’s historic trip to Cuba. Gomes also checks in on Marco Rubio’s return to the halls of Congress after his disappointing second-place finish in Florida’s primary election. With Gov. Rick Scott’s signing of the state’s record $82 billion budget, Florida Policy Institute Executive Director Joe Pennisi tells Gomes the spending plan still lacks adequate investments in health care, public education, prisons and other state services. Gomes also chats with Florida NOW lobbyist Barbra DeVane about her strategy to get Gov. Scott to veto a bill (HB 1411) that could restrict access to reproductive health care.
