Florida Council of 100 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Florida Council of 100
The Florida Council of 100 is a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization of Florida business leaders who advise the state's governor. The group's headquarters are in Tampa, Florida and they celebrated their 50th year during 2011.〔("About us" ) Florida Council of 100 website〕〔("45-Year Celebration powerpoint" ) Florida Council of 100 website〕 ==History== The association was founded in 1961 at the request of then Governor Farris Bryant, who asked for advice on problems confronting the state from a business point of view. The Council was the first of its kind in the United States,〔 and its website states that it "works with the Governor, the Chief Justice, the Legislature, as well as with private organizations, to achieve quality of life improvements for the people of Florida."〔 The full Council meets twice each year〔("3. Presentation, Report, 'We Must Do Better'" ) Florida Board of Governors meeting minutes, March 18, 2004〕 and has continued to provide that perspective to each governor over the last 50+ years. However, the relationship between the Council and the Governor changed in 1999 with the inauguration of Jeb Bush. Bush directly requested the support and involvement of the Council as soon as the election was over. He used the council to promote controversial ideas to state residents and politicians alike. They also defended Bush for his plan to eliminate job security for state workers.〔 Charlie Crist was not a typical pro-business Republican governor, so the Council concentrated on educational issues during most of his term. Florida's new governor in 2011, Rick Scott, has a business background similar to Jeb Bush. He met with the council two weeks after winning the election and acknowledged that he is depending on those business leaders to allow him to fulfill his campaign promise of 700,000 new jobs in seven years.〔("Rick Scott lays out agenda in private speech to business groups" ) ''St. Petersburg Times'', November 18, 2010〕
