Yeager continued by stating, “Our small county legislators have been effective working together in a collective effort to create support for issues and programs important to small counties. The Small County Coalition legislative agenda is clear – our requests are reasonable and we have proven over the past 20 years that we have credibility. We are thankful for our House and Senate members, we congratulate the recipients that have been recognized, and we look forward to working with all of the members of the Florida House and Senate in 2014.”
