This research looks at the effectiveness of state lobbying in Florida. It evaluates effectiveness through the use of eight case studies: the sugar lobby and the cleanup in the Florida Everglades; the lobby for a raise for tomato pickers in the state; the lobby for increased advertising money for state tourism; the tourism lobby and offshore drilling; the lobby for more accessible healthcare on behalf of state insurance companies; the lobby for an increased tobacco tax; the high-speed rail lobby; and the red light camera lobby. The study concludes that lobbying in Florida is generally effective as groups achieved their desired goals in seven out of eight cases.
