After Florida's business lobby poured tens of millions in campaign cash into electing Republican supermajorities to the Legislature last year, its top wish was clear: dismantling state oversight of the once-massive development industry.
More than a month before Billy Buzzett took over as Florida's top growth cop in January, lobbyists for some of the state's biggest developers already had outlined a game plan to make it easier for large-scale projects to spread across the rural and exurban landscape, according to public records released by Gov. Rick Scott office seven months after the Orlando Sentinel requested them.
Florida's business lobby had invested millions of dollars to defeat Hometown Democracy — an amendment on the November 2010 ballot that would have required voters to approve changes to land-use plans — and wanted to prevent local governments from putting growth-plan changes to public votes in the future. The new law does that.
