Your legislators give you a chance to speak DIRECTLY to
them!
Every year,
just before the legislative session begins, each county’s
“legislative delegation” holds public hearings to listen to
citizens. It’s during these meetings that you can speak on
any subject and have all the folks that represent your
county in the same room.
FAA urges each
of you to plan to attend a meeting in your location and
tell your elected officials that you feel the
anti-discrimination law should be changed to prevent
counties from discriminating against airboats; that you
believe all boats should be treated in the same manner and
that you believe counties should not place a curfew on
lakes or other water bodies at any time – especially during
gator season.
The more often your elected official hears from a voter,
like yourself, telling him/her the good things about
airboating and asking for their help in fighting the
discrimination we are facing, the easier it will be to pass
legislation this next session.
Thank you in advance for your help in making our democracy
work!
If you don't see your county listed here, and would like info about the delegation meetings, Please write us a note and we'll see if we can find the info for you!
