The Speaker Designate of the Florida House, Republican Representative Marco Rubio of Miami is on a mission to collect innovative ideas from Florida's citizens. Rubio is traveling the state asking Floridians to fill a book with the best 100 ideas for the state's future.
We'll hear about some of those ideas and discuss them with Rep. Rubio along with Democratic Representative Bob Henriquez of Tampa and USF Political Science Professor Susan MacManus.
