The man named Ron DeSantis is a hypocrite. He says "we need to make sure tax payer dollars are being used the right way" when it came to arts funding yet uses million upon millions of dollars to attack citizen lead initiatives. And I know that the group that got the initiative that collected the signatures and was sued over a "report" done by the state and they settled. But how much money would it have costs them to fight this in court and hope to win? Was it better financially to settle and pay $186k then fight this battle? Idk. But the timing of everything and who wrote the reports and the ad's it's just all to circumstantial to ignore.

I hope we get another chance to vote on both legal weed and legal abortion. I hope we can make the threshold down to 55% instead of 60%. The minority shouldn't be the winner in an election it should be whatever gets the most votes.

People pay attention! stop voting for the same people if we keep getting results and laws that we do not like or support.

Democrats and Independents: do a better damn job of connecting Republicans with the messes and issues in the state. They have been in power for years! There is no way to blame a democrat or an independent because the GOP has been calling all the shots!

Hey Folks! Jason Garcia is providing a critical public service. We need to grow this substack and other venues where his deep dive investigative journalism can be

seen.

His work has to be more broadly viewed, acknowledged, recognized, and acted upon by the citizens of Florida.

For far too long Floridians have been ruthlessly and relentlessly disenfranchised, suppressed, and minimized at the hands of power hungry,

greedy special interests who do not represent the majority.

We in Florida are at the epicenter of the nationwide campaign by hell bent “Laboratories of Autocracy “ ideological zealots.

Their sole objective and full time goal is to crush Democracy at all costs. Believe it,

it’s happening more every day. They demand Dominion over every Floridian.

To me, you'll always be the author who refers to DeSantis as "the Republican governor — who signed Florida’s six-week abortion ban into law shortly before launching a failed campaign for president." The last part makes me smile every time.

The picture is not of the same thing you are reporting. The picture was the place to vote yes…. You must be talking about the people who said vote no … please fix it . Th article is fine but remove that picture they did not get funded by tax payers . Desantis did the anti abortion one.. !
