| Description | CLEARWATER - With the political air being sucked up by high-profile races for governor and U.S. Senate, the candidates for agriculture commissioner joked at a joint appearance Tuesday that there's no need for lawyers or a TV market map to schedule a debate for the Cabinet post.
They'll show up, they said, just about anywhere.
For nearly 40 minutes, Democrat Scott Maddox and Republican Adam Putnam sounded nearly identical on farm and food safety speaking to members of the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club. Both said they'd press for increased regulations and testing to protect food in Florida's grocery stores. Both want to help turn Florida's natural resources into sources of renewable energy.
And both say immigration reform needs to include a way for Florida's agriculture industry to rely on workers who may now be in Florida illegally.
Their differences were more about style. |
