He's like a mini-Trump. Franklinman should be proud! My favorite is the first one. Goodbye liberal old farts.
COURTS Most significantly, DeSantis replaced three Florida supreme court justices who were required to retire at age 75. His appointees — Barbara Lagoa, Robert J. Luck, and Carlos Muñiz — have shifted the court’s composition from four liberals and three conservatives to one liberal and six conservatives. This jump to the right should keep the Sunshine State’s top tribunal safe for constitutionalism.
EDUCATION Gov. DeSantis signed an executive order to eliminate Common Core.
ELECTIONS Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Palm Beach County’s elections chief Friday and installed a Republican lawyer to oversee voting during the next presidential contest in one of the state’s most Democratic counties.
DeSantis — a Republican allied with President Donald Trump — said the county’s elections supervisor Susan Bucher failed to properly conduct three contentious statewide recounts for the 2018 midterms. He named West Palm Beach attorney Wendy Link as her replacement.
Bucher was the second South Florida elections supervisor to be suspended over the 2018 recount. DeSantis’ predecessor, Republican Gov. Rick Scott, suspended Broward County’s elections chief Brenda Snipes and replaced her with his former top lawyer Pete Antonacci, also a Republican. On Friday, DeSantis said he is superseding that suspension and will accept Snipes’ Jan. 4 resignation.
TAXES Gov. DeSantis’s tax proposal is modest, but it steers levies the right way: down. His budget cuts taxes $335 million: $289.7 million in property-tax reductions; a three-day, $39.5 millionback-to-school sales-tax holiday; and a one-week, $5.8 million disaster-preparedness sales-tax holiday before hurricane season.
LAW ENFORCEMENT Can't forget that Gov. DeSantis fired the Coward of Broward County - Scott Israel.
