REPRESENTATIVE KEVIN RADER THANKS GOVERNOR CRIST FOR HIS CALL TO DUTY
Boynton Beach, FL: Today Representative Kevin Rader (D-Delray Beach) thanks Governor Charlie Crist for exercising his constitutional duty to authorize the use of available federal funds to help out-of-work Floridians who qualify for this help.
With the Unemployment Compensation Act of 2010 having been approved by Congress and signed into law by President Obama, Florida’s statutes will now be amended so up to 250,000 Floridians are eligible to accept these federally-funded benefits.
“Having spent months urging the Florida Legislature to extend our eligibility for these important federal dollars, I would like to personally thank the governor. By responding to my request for an executive order making us eligible for the recently-passed federal extension, he has ensured that Florida’s residents will not be left behind.”
