Florida Nears Decision in SUV Safety Review

ATLANTA Officials at the Florida Attorney General’s office heard final presentations late last week for a national $30 million assignment to create a sport utility vehicle safety program, the client said.

Committee members in Tallahassee, Fla., listened to pitches from New York’s Bartle Bogle Hegarty on Thursday morning, followed by Havas’ Euro RSCG Tatham of Chicago and Publicis Groupe’s Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco, both in the afternoon.

Eliminated in an earlier round were independent shops Wolf Group in New York, Fogarty Klein Monroe in Houston, MARC USA in Pittsburgh and Cramer-Krasselt in Chicago.
