The top leaders of the Florida Legislature are going to Washington, D.C. next week for a series of meetings with Congressional leaders and a lengthy discussion with Sen. Marco Rubio over federal issues.
Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran and Senate President Joe Negron are confirmed to be part of a contingent that has meetings scheduled with Rubio on Monday and Tuesday.
Corcoran said Rubio invited leaders of the Legislature to go over federal transportation, health care and environmental issues and how they might after Florida.
A spokeswoman for Rubio said the meetings are to make sure there is an open line of communication as the state Legislature prepares to start its new session on March 7.
Rubio’s office said they have invited 17 leaders of the Florida House and Senate to the meeting including Democratic leaders of both chambers.
