Corcoran gets speaker nod next week

BY THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

House Appropriations Chairman Richard Corcoran, R-Land O'Lakes, is scheduled to be formally designated as the next House speaker during a Sept. 16 ceremony. The House Republican Conference will meet and choose Corcoran to serve as speaker for a two-year term starting after the 2016 elections. Republicans are able to make the choice because they hold a massive majority in the House. Corcoran, who was elected to the House in 2010, has long been in line to become speaker. He will succeed Speaker Steve Crisafulli, a Merritt Island Republican who began his two-year term after the 2014 elections.
