Tampa Bay Times and the South Florida Sun Sentinel recently published a guest column featuring Gunster Chairman and Former U.S. Senator George LeMieux. LeMieux, who serves as Board Chairman for Florida TaxWatch, highlights several measures that Florida TaxWatch hopes the Legislature will address in an effort to protect Florida taxpayer interests.
"The state’s current budget is record in size, as are our budget reserves. Revenue collections are back above pre-pandemic levels, and this Legislature will have even more money available for the next budget cycle," the column states.
For more than twenty years, George S. LeMieux has been lead trial counsel in federal and state courts, in civil and regulatory matters, before juries, judges and arbitrators. He has argued cases before the United States Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of Florida, and Florida’s intermediate appellate courts. His practice includes defending clients in enforcement matters brought by state attorneys general, advocating for clients in administrative law proceedings including bid protests, and counseling governmental bodies on public records and public meeting requirements. He has successfully litigated business disputes and intellectual property cases to verdict; his practice also includes professional liability defense.
