Newbie Democratic State Sen. Lauren Book of Plantation has no experience in elected office. Yet, she was elected unopposed to an open seat this year because of her charisma and the deep pockets of her Daddy, multi-millionaire lobbyist Ron Book.

Book’s first committee assignments have been announced. Her collection of first rate committee jobs – unprecedented for a freshman Democrat – has Tallahassee whispering.

Book is the new chair of Environmental Preservation and Conservation. She is also the vice chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Environment and Natural Resources.

So Book, a Democrat, will have a lot to say where dollars on spent on preserving Florida’s resources.

She also snared key posts on the powerful Appropriations Committee, Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, Health Policy Committee, plus the all-important Rules Committee, which helps decide what bills are heard on the floor.

Remember again that Book is a freshman Democrat in a Republican Senate.
