Florida Legislature 2025: A sneak attack on the state minimum wage

Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature is working on a ticking time bomb of a bill meant to blow up the state's voter-approved minimum wage.

In this episode: As the second week of Florida’s 2025 legislative session begins, Republican lawmakers roll out an intentionally unconstitutional plan meant to provoke a legal showdown over the state’s voter-approved minimum wage. But there’s also a budding bipartisan movement to make sure Ron DeSantis never again pays for political ads with taxpayer money.
