Ron DeSantis Vows To Veto Florida Bill That Would Help Trump
huffpost.com

The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.

DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:

...

The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia (R), would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”

Global warming may be nature's way of trying to submerge Florida. I say let nature win one.

I expect it'll come in the form of Katrina-like events, hurricanes causing massive flooding.

And all the insurance companies are fleeing the state.... I wonder how well this will play out.....

Did you hear Florida has a system where private insurers can just pick and choose the policies they want away from the state funded insurance program? The homeowner will just get a letter that says, "we're your new insurer now!"

Florida taxpayers literally get the dregs.
