State Rep. Charles McBurney told members of the Associated Industries of Florida that the state budget, redistricting, jobs and the economy will be the focus of legislators in upcoming session.
McBurney spoke to the group Friday at The River Club Downtown.
Last week, Gov. Rick Scott released his proposed $66.4 billion budget, down $4.6 billion from the current year. It proposes increasing education spending and cutting health services.
“The Legislature will be looking at that very closely,” said McBurney.
McBurney said he believes there will be a number of legislative initiatives dealing with incentives that encourage business growth.
