my name is keith overton and chief operating for trade winds island resorts. our company is anchored by two world class resorts with 796 guest rooms, 25 acres situated on gulf of mexico in st. pete beach, florida. we employ 750 people. we are all about entrepreneurialism through tourism. and that has become a brand name within florida and we have done this through our own sales and marketing efforts because we do operate independently. and we have a precise understanding as a result of that of where our business comes from and most importantly what influencees tourism in florida as well as to our destination. as chairman of the board for the florida restaurant and lodging association, i'm going to provide you a perspective that our members share regarding this threat to florida. hospitality in florida represents a $57 billion industry, 20% of florida's economy, $3.4 billion in sales tax revenue and more than 900,000 employees are employed there, the largest employer in the state of florida. tourism in florida is clearly more important to florida than the benef

keith hall, but now i will recognize my colleague. >> thank you, madam chairman. i am joining you in welcoming dr. hall before the committee. today's report is mixed news for american workers and their families. on the one hand, payroll employment increased by if 224,000 jobs after excluding the 66,000 temporary census jobs. on the other hand, the unemployment rate rose to 9.9%. alarmingly, the number of long- term unemployed workers reached an all-time high of 6.7 million. the long-term unemployed as a percent of all unemployed workers also reached a record high of 45.9%. if the painfully slow recovery is better than no recovery. but for the 15.3 million americans who are out of work and waiting for washington democrats to finally focus on jobs, this report is disheartening. at this slow pace, it would take much of the decade to return to normal employment levels. consumers and businesses are increasingly concerned that runaway government spending and the dangerous level of debt could lead america down a path in which greece has now found itself, for their handli

keith, independent. caller: i would like to ask the governor in question.o you support the obama plan of keeping people working or able to take care of their home? do you understand? guest: no, if you could explain elegant better. caller: if we decide to lose our homes, where do we go? guest: a are you talking about his foreclosure policy? caller: yes, if the banks do not work with us, what is our option? guest: like you, i do not like bailout. we had a few banks control of most of the economy. i would like to see them broken up. but i also know that community banks are doing what they can to loan money. i think there has to be a foreclosure policy that allows individuals like you, who may be losing their home, to get some help. this is part of the jobs agenda that many governors want the congress to do. that $8,000 tax credit which was used effectively, has already expired. we want to see people like you get help. host: good morning to sheila in worcester, massachusetts. caller: thank you for taking my call. regarding the immigration issue. i think most pe

keith, go ahead. a you with us? we are going to go to robert in oklahoma. caller: can you hear me? i have two questions. could there be any connection between the cap and trade bill and this oil spill? do you think bp is going to pay everything that they 0panowe? host: let me begin with the second question because on some morning shows, bp officials say that they have spent about $930 million responding to the oil spill. guest: i am sure the exxon may have said the same thing about prince william sound. my numbers may be skewed. the initial injury decided that those people should get $500 billion. the supreme court gave them half a billion dollars. within the last year or two, they have gotten $15,000 apiece. to your second question, i have no faith that bp will make the lives which they destroyed right. host: matt in san antonio. caller: i want to bring up something that i think needs to be talked about more. i saw a report and they had a much larger spill like this in the ocean. they had supertankers and surrounded it and kept it from that area. that is something the president co
