 * Florida issue is off shore drilling. by Evan Contes**


 * __Issues__- in Florida mostly the issues are about there bad school systems or the enviroment. for one off shore drilling in florida is highly looked down on by the senators and people of flordia, because Floridas whole economy is based on tourist and who wants to sit on a beutiful beach and look directly at a oil rig? Or even worse, if the oil rig leaked it could kill many of Flordia's fish and sea birds.**


 * Senators- __Bill Nelson__ and __Marco Rubio__**


 * As i learned about the senators that represent florida i for the most part agreed with Bill Nelson. Bill had fought for the schools and for a better education for the kids of Florida and has fought and won the off shore drilling debates for the states saving many resturaunts and hotels from a lack of tourist. But Marco Rubio has also fought for the school systems of Florida and i agreed with his visions but not as much as i agreed with Bill Nelson.**
