Rick Scott and Al Lamberti rendezvous at hotel
By Anthony Man February 4, 2011 02:58 PM
Gov. Rick Scott and Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti met for about 15 minutes Friday at the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa where the governor was making a speech to a business group.
After Scott’s speech, I asked the governor what he discussed with the sheriff.
“What we talked about is just you know I’d come here for the funeral for the two Miami-Dade officers, and I went to the St. Pete and we lost a correctional officer up there so we talked about those funerals.
“And then just talked about you know, the state budget. What’s happening. He was just asking me because I’m coming out with the budget on Monday.
“What I try to do when I travel around the state is meet with sheriffs, local officials.”
My colleague Brittany Wallman asked Lamberti what they discussed.
Lamberti said he left pleased. He said Scott promised on the campaign trail to meet regularly with Florida’s sheriffs, and he said Friday he intends to carry through on it, including meeting with the sheriff in every county he visits.
“He feels the government was started for the purpose of public safety,’’ he said.
The governor asked him to voice his top issues, and Lamberti talked to him about pill mills and funding for crime labs.
“He was very, very receptive,’’ Lamberti said, after the one-one-one at the Diplomat.
“I’m happy to hear that public safety is high on his list.”

Thanks for taking up the biggest issue threatening the livelyood of all of your emplyees Sheriff Lamberti. I guess the huge pension cuts to the BSO employees and our families were insignificant in your eyes.
