“Republicans are leaving the Florida House. Is Richard Corcoran the reason why?” via William March of the Tampa Bay Times – This year, nine Republican members of the Florida House of Representatives eligible for re-election have either left the House or plan to run for another office. Several have cited conflicts with House Speaker Corcoran, objecting to what they call his dictatorial leadership style. Some say that relationship with Corcoran factored in their decisions to leave. Several of the departing legislators were among those who voted against top Corcoran priorities in the 2017 legislative session, including a bill to allow liquor sales in grocery stores and another to slash business recruiting and tourism promotions programs. "Corcoran's leadership style is just oppressive. It's as simple as that," said former Rep. Dan Raulerson, who resigned from his seat in July in the middle of his third term.
