Fellow citizens:

After reviewing the status of the Deepwater Horizon well blowout, meeting with affected citizens, and talking with my colleagues in the Florida House and Senate, I have established six workgroups with specific assignments. These workgroups are expected to uncover problems and offer meaningful legislative solutions to the issues created by the oil spill. I encourage you to follow the activities and conclusions that emerge from these workgroups and to participate as we seek solutions.
