Gov. Ron DeSantis
Politics in Miami-Dade County is never business as usual.
It seems as if this county’s usual political cronyism ends where the county meets the state.
Apparently, Miami-Dade County Commission Chairman Oliver G. Gilbert, III, has decided to only hand out committee chairmanships to commissioners who don’t have a state-level legislative resumé.

Gov. Ron DeSantis believes he is doing the right thing with every stroke of his pen.
While most Floridians appear to approve of this condemnation of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and of his support of parental rights (he won reelection by 20 percentage points), there are those like Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and State Sen. Shevrin Jones who believe his policies are a detriment to his constituents.
Rep. Wasserman Schultz accused Gov. DeSantis of “censorship” for banning books in schools that “depict sexual conduct, sexual battery, bestiality, or sadomasochistic abuse.”
“In Florida, our parents have every right to be involved in their child’s education. We are not going to let politicians deny parents the right to know what is being taught in our schools. I’m proud to sign this legislation that ensures curriculum transparency.”—Gov. Ron DeSantis
