Ewwww, she is the committee CHAIR?! Is that the committee to which these bills have been assigned?! If so, then YUGE pressure needs to come on her and ALL of the committee members so they understand this is NOT acceptable. Call daily- politely and respectfully, and daily. Get your neighbors and everyone you know calling and emailing. This is ridiculous.

Yes, Burton chairs the Committee on Health Policy. Both SB 222 and SB 252 are referred to this Committee for review. How likely will it be that both get out of HER committee? How likely is it that the bill 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 by the Chair gets support from the members vs. the bill sponsored by someone else? The bill that provides civil rights related to all vaccine choices competing against the bill sponsored by the Chair of one of the committees both bills need to survive who gets money from a trade org that lobbies on behalf of pharma???

Such a joke. Ridiculous as you say, Copernicus. Your recommendation for daily calling is spot on. I called Burton's office yesterday and I will call again today. I'll add to my message, should I need to leave one, that I have since learned of the campaign donation Ms. Burton received.

Well, normally one would expect a chair-authored bill to easily make it out of committee.

Sadly, in my state, one of our committee chairs authored a very strong bill re matters pertinent to his committee... we were excited, believing it to be a sure thing. But apparently, in this instance, it was all for show. He never gave the bill a hearing.

However, since Burton's bill is not truly a true, full freedom bill, she likely will hear it, pass it, and many Floridians who are paying attention only to c0\/1d stuff will celebrate.

Ya youd think that would be a conflict if interest and require recusing oneself. UGH. 🤢
