Office of the Governor

Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001
Dear Governor Bush:
This correspondence IS in reference to your involvement in the Florida farmworker wage dispute.
As I understand it, Mr. Luis Rodriguez had previously been involved on your behalf in
attempting to mediate a dispute. My colleagues on the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners advised at our April 11, 2000 meeting that the Governor's office is no longer
participating in this process.
Please advise if the Governor's office is monitoring this matter or is otherwise involved. I am
personally committed to assist where govemment appropriately can to facilitate a resolution of
this critical concern. It is my hope that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners will
agree to join with you in whatever efforts your good office is undertaking in this matter.
Thank you for your consideration. I trust you will feel welcome to contact me if I may be of any
assistance to you.
