Sarasota, FL, March 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Argus Foundation will be hosting Former Fox News Business Personality, ABC “20/20” Co-Host and “Stossel TV” host John Stossel at a special event luncheon this week. Presented by Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association, Stossel will be featured along with President and CEO Carol Dover to address the push to pass $15 minimum wage laws and the negative impact it will have on the state of Florida.
Most recently recognized for his comprehensive analysis on issues surrounding the importance of limited government and personal freedom on his highly-viewed platform, “Stossel TV”, Stossel has become a distinguished personality in his industry reporting at the forefront of some of our nation’s most historic moments, earning him 19 Emmy Awards and five honors for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club.
A former host, Stossel can be seen providing signature libertarian analysis on nationally renowned shows on Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel. Prior to his time at Fox, he was the co-host of ABC’s primetime show “20/20”, where he provided in-depth, special reports on a variety of consumer topics such as government, pop culture and business. His “John Stossel Specials” addressed tough questions facing Americans.
