Florida House Speaker Co-hosts IdeaRaiser Event
Florida Speaker of the House Marco Rubio will be co-hosting an IdeaRaiser Friday in Tahlequah.
The IdeaRaiser, focusing on rural health, will feature the Florida speaker, who initiated Florida’s successful 100 Ideas program in 2005.
100 Ideas Oklahoma Executive Director Thad Balkman said organizers and participants were looking forward to hearing from Rubio. “We are all looking forward to the opportunity to hear from Speaker Rubio, particularly about Florida’s initiatives and success stories in health care,” said Balkman.
The rural healthcare IdeaRaiser will be held at Northeastern State University in the Ceder Room of the University Center. Registration will begin at 4 p.m.
In addition to Rubio, co-hosts include NSU President Larry Williams and his wife, Pamela, Oklahoma Speaker of the House Lance Cargill, the NSU Oklahoma College of Optometry and the Cherokee Health Science Center. Local legislators State Sen. Jim Wilson and State Reps. John Auffett and Mike Brown have been invited to the event, which is open to the public.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP to info@100ieasok.org as space is limited.
Rubio started the Florida 100 Ideas program in September 2005. By the end of January, the Florida House had passed nine of the 100 ideas chosen by Florida’s 100 Ideas board. Ideas passed include adopting a uniform statewide building code and ensuring that insurance companies expedite payments for damages and consider expanding the short-term, no-interest bridge loan program.
