Area lawmakers brush off transparency criticism
Local lawmakers stood firmly behind their votes this past Legislative session, despite receiving mostly mediocre grades tied to their levels of support for bills important for transparency.
With the worst grade possible, an “F-”, Sen. Greg Steube (R-Sarasota) — who represents District 23 covering portions of Sarasota and Charlotte counties — received a few positive points for his support of SB 750 that ultimately died in a judiciary committee last month.
