Proposals to change Florida water laws, developed in private meetings over the past year by a task force of the 'Council of 100', were forwarded to Governor Jeb Bush and may come up during a special session of the Legislature as soon as October. The Council of 100 is a group of statewide business leaders who advise the governor on policies ranging from education to civil service. Their membership and issues are approved by the governor. The memo from the Council of 100 says that after task force leaders confer with top legislators, a final report will be presented to the public next month.
