Inside the reinvention of Florida politics Reubin Askew was swept
into the governor's office in 1970 as part of a remarkable wave of
progressive politics and legislative reform in Florida. A man of
uncompromising principle and independence, he was elected primarily
on a platform of tax reform. In the years that followed, Askew led
a group of politicians from both parties who sought-and
achieved-judicial reform, redistricting, busing and desegregation,
the end of the Cross Florida Barge Canal, the Sunshine Amendment,
and much more. This period was truly a golden age of Florida
politics, and Martin Dyckman's narrative is well written, fast
paced, and reads like a novel. Dyckman also reveals how the return
of special interests, the rise of partisan politics, unlimited
campaign spending, term limits, gerrymandering, and more have
eroded the achievements of the Golden Age in subsequent decades.
