Senate Bill Filed To Name Part Of Hwy 4 The “Sen. Greg Evers Memorial Highway”
September 28, 2017
Mirroring a proposal in the House, Senate Appropriations Chairman Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, filed a bill Wednesday that would name a stretch of road in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties as “Senator Greg Evers Memorial Highway.”
The bill, which is filed for the 2018 legislative session, comes after Evers, 62, died Aug. 21 in a single-vehicle accident near his home in Okaloosa County.
Evers, a Republican, served nine years in the Florida House before his election to the Senate in 2010. Evers left his Senate seat last year to make a bid for the U.S. House but lost the Republican primary to U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz.
The Latvala bill and the House version filed by Rep. Jayer Williamson, R-Pace (read more…), would provide the memorial designation to part of State Road 4 between Munson Highway and State Road 189 in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties.
