Ron DeSantis’ Political Games Are Hurting Floridians
April 29, 2022
Ron DeSantis is once again prioritizing his culture wars over delivering for the people of Florida. As DeSantis chases his political ambition, Floridians are the ones left paying the price.
Instead of delivering results for the people of Florida, DeSantis is putting the financial standing of its communities at risk.
