On January 22, 2010, the RYPPC held our meeting at Beef O' Brady's. We were pleased to have State Rep. Kevin Ambler speak about his family and business career, his experience in local and state politics, and his campaign for State Senate in district 12.

More specifically, Mr. Ambler spoke about two of the issues among the most important to him. The first was the Florida homeowner's insurance market and state regulation, and the second being the way local governments present spending and "tax-cut" figures to citizens.

Kevin Amberly clearly had a strong command of the issues and we thank him for coming out and speaking!
