House Speaker Richard Corcoran called for the business community to rally around his push for changes to Florida’s judiciary, saying failure to do so could make the Legislature’s efforts to pass pro-business legislation futile.
Zeroing in specifically on a looming debate over how to respond to Florida Supreme Court rulings on workers’ compensation insurance, Corcoran told the Associated Industries of Florida’s annual conference that business groups need to realize that the courts are the main obstacle to free-market reforms.
“If you don’t wrap your heads around the problem that we’re having with the Supreme Court, you’re just going to be doing this over and over again, and at some point you’re going to run out of a good run of conservative leaders in the [legislative] chambers that are willing to work with you,” he warned.
