Kelli Stargel Named Florida Senate Budget Chair

Lakeland Republican Kelli Stargel caps her legislative career as chairman of the Florida Senate’s powerful Appropriations Committee for the next two years. She was appointed to the position Friday by new Senate President Wilton Simpson, a Lakeland native who lives in Trilby.
