In a short special session, the Florida Legislature sent one bill to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The bill would send $700 million to communities recovering from hurricanes Ian and Nicole. If signed, it will at once create a dedicated Local Government Emergency Bridge Loan Program within the Department of Economic Opportunity. That will facilitate $50 million in nonrecurring dollars from the general revenue fund. Another $650 million in general revenue would also be transferred to the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund.
Another bill was sent to governor’s desk and it would budget $10 million for more migrant flights, shipping illegal aliens out of Florida, from the Florida Department of Transportation to the Department of Emergency Management.

Read the bill, it makes it legal for Florida to go into other states to remove people and take them to another state.
More millions of our taxes will be wasted when DeSantis’ gives it to his private flight company cronies to do this. If other states wants to use their own money to remove people within their own borders, that’s one thing, DeSantis has no business going into their state to be their house cleaner.
I think the bill creating a new Disney district was sent to the Governor as well.
Another bill was sent to governor’s desk and it would budget $10 million for more migrant flights…
