Who the hell said it was his fault @sneakypete ?? I said it was his good fortune to have the statehouse he has.
But this does not change the fact that a man's true convictons and backbone are revealed through battles of fire ---- and to date DeSantis is sitting on an inner tube in the deep end of the pool.
He's taken on Disney, the teacher's union and the sugar companies. Granted he has a full majority, but he isn't just sitting back and doing nothing. He is quick to move on issues and for the most part it has benefited FL.
He was one of the first to go up against CDC and WHO guidelines and opened up FL. Why do you think over 900 people a day have moved to FL?
I would beg to differ that the migration is due to people fleeing higher taxes; the migration is more about freedom. (You can still always tell who just came from out of state; they are masked, some with gloves and those masks are worn in the parks, kayaking, etc.)
About 900 people a day are moving to Florida, the state's CFO, Jimmy Patronis, told Fox Business on Monday, attributing it mainly to higher taxes in states such as New York and New Jersey.
Migration to Florida had steadily risen over the past decade before booming during the coronavirus pandemic as remote working and the warm climate drew people to the Sunshine State.
Florida also has no personal income tax. In comparison, New York unveiled proposals in April to bump up its income-tax rates for its wealthiest residents.Patronis told Fox that states like New York and New Jersey were "financial train wrecks."
