This Week in South Florida: Ben Albritton

State Sen. Ben Albritton joins TWISF to discuss upcoming legislative session

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — All eyes will be on Tallahassee this week, where two months, maybe more, of debating questioning horse-trading and politicking will commence as the legislative session begins.

Florida senators and representatives will create new laws and fix some already on the books, and this year, making life more affordable for Floridians is a main talking point.

How to get there remains a big question.

State Senator Ben Albritton, a Republican who represents Hardee, DeSoto and Charlotte Counties, as well as parts of Polk and Lee Counties, and is also the Florida Senate President, joined “This Week in South Florida” host Glenna Milberg to discuss, and their conversation can be seen at the top of this page.
