					<description><![CDATA[The Florida Chamber of Commerce intends to push the Florida Legislature this year and candidates next year to focus on tort reform to ease Florida&#8217;s increasing reputation as a place where litigation is a high cost of doing business. At the chamber&#8217;s annual Future of Florida Forum in Orlando Wednesday, Florida Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Wilson bemoaned what he said where the worst pro-business grades for lawmakers his organization has ever issued, and also decried that Florida&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Noting several missed opportunities, the Florida Chamber of Commerce is giving faint praise to lawmakers for their efforts during Session to keep Florida competitive. While the 2017 Legislative Session could have been much worse, the Chamber said Friday it should have been much, much better. “Thanks to the thousands of businesses that stood with the Florida Chamber to help make Florida more competitive during the 2017 Florida Legislative Session,” said Chamber President and CEO Mark Wilson. “While lawmakers did pass&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A bevy of business groups have joined forces in opposition to a Senate proposal to lower the tax commercial rents by eliminating a tax credit benefiting another industry. Eight of the state’s leading business organizations — including Associated Industries of Florida, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the Florida United Business Association — sent a letter to Sen. Anitere Flores on Wednesday urging here to “support lowering the sales tax currently charged on all&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Addressing what he called the “obvious elephant in the room,” Florida Chamber President Mark Wilson criticized Florida House members who backed an effort to end economic incentive programs, calling the move political. “I want to be blunt for a few minutes,” said Wilson. “This is not a Legislature trying to seek how to diversify the economy and how to grow trade. This is a political conversation about an ideology that frankly is silly.” Wilson made his comments during the 2017&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The head of the Florida Chamber of Commerce Thursday defended the state&#8217;s handout of economic incentives, but said they were only ever meant to stoke job creation in a targeted way. &#8220;In very, very limited cases, incentives are in play,&#8221; said Mark Wilson, the organization&#8217;s president and CEO. &#8220;We shouldn&#8217;t be using incentives for every job we create. In fact, they should rarely be used.&#8221; Wilson and others, including dozens of former and current lawmakers, spoke at a press conference in the Capitol. The organization&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Florida Chamber has a message for its members: Go vote. The statewide business advocacy organization’s employer-to-employee news and information program launched its “Let’s Get Local” campaign this week. The get-out-the-vote program is meant to encourage employees to vote in the general election. “There’s more to this election than just the top of the ticket,” said Mark Wilson, the president and CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, said in a memo to the Florida Chamber’s board of directors, local&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Florida Chamber of Commerce stands by its assertion that a high number of unlikely voters have already cast ballots in Tuesday’s primary. The Tampa Bay Times reported last week that the political team at the Florida Chamber of Commerce had noticed a trend in the number of people rarely voting in primary elections. The Tampa Bay Times reported that about half the mail ballots were from Floridians who either voted in one or zero of the past four primaries.&#8230;]]></description>
