He sent the National Guard to greet travelers at Florida’s biggest airports. Passengers arriving on direct flights from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, where the number of infections is high, are required to quarantine for 14 days. Law enforcement will keep tabs on their whereabouts. The executive order also applies to people arriving by car.

Just exactly what has DeStinkass done to save lives?

Give us details instead of mindless partisan cheer leading.

Foreigners are not coming to Orlando right now because everything is closed, moron.

Disney, Universal and Sea World all closed... VOLUNTARILY.

Not because of anything DeStinkass govt did.

Gillumm was not my choice, but no, I am not glad the trash repugnants are in charge.

If it matters to you.... DeStinkass and his repugnant cohorts in the state legislature just passed a law making it much more difficult for WE THE PEOPLE to get law changes on the ballot so that WE THE PEOPLE can vote on them.

The ratpublicans passed it through both houses and DeStinkass just signed it a day or two ago.

Typical ratpublican scum behavior....

Lawmakers send a bill to governor making it harder for citizen groups to advance constitutional amendments

https://www.floridaphoenix.com/2020...-groups-to-advance-constitutional-amendments/

Floridians looking to amend the state Constitution to expand Medicaid or allow recreational cannabis will face a more costly and complicated process under a bill headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The Florida House on Wednesday voted, 73-45, for a bill (SB 1794) that would impose new barriers for citizen groups seeking to collect enough voter signatures to put a proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot.

The Senate voted, 23-17, for the bill earlier in the week. Both votes were along party lines, with the Republicans in support and Democrats in opposition.

The bill will make it harder for citizen groups to trigger a Florida Supreme Court review of the ballot measures by increasing the required number of voter signatures from 10 percent of the total voters in the last presidential election to 25 percent. Court approval is a critical step in placing an amendment on the ballot.

This year, citizen petition groups, like those trying to legalize recreational marijuana or expand Medicaid coverage, had to collect 76,620 validated signatures to qualify for a court review. Under the bill, they would have needed to collect nearly 192,000 signatures.

Other changes include requiring citizen initiatives to collect signatures in more congressional districts in order to trigger the court review. It would increase from at least a quarter of the 27 congressional districts to at least half, which would mean 14 districts.

The bill also prohibits citizen groups from using voter signatures gathered in one election for a later election. Currently, the signatures are valid for two years after they are collected.
The bill would allow local supervisors of elections to charge the “actual cost” of verifying the voter signatures that are submitted for review.

And the bill would give the state Supreme Court the authority to decide whether the ballot measures are “facially invalid” under the U.S. Constitution.

Opponents said the measure is another attempt to limit the use of citizen petition drives that have led to constitutional amendments that limited class sizes in schools, linked a state minimum wage to an inflation index, authorized the use of medical marijuana, established voting rights for ex-felons, and directed lawmakers to spend more money on conservation lands.

Voters will get a chance this fall to vote on another citizen initiative that would raise Florida’s minimum wage to $15 an hour over a period of several years.

Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, a Miami-Dade County Democrat who opposed the measure, said the bill adds more barriers to the petition process that will effectively eliminate the ability of grassroots groups to put issues before the voters.

“We’re just making the citizen initiative process more costly and more complicated, forcing operations from grassroots to professional,” Rodriguez said. “It’s taking a system that was meant for citizens to act when this Legislature would not … and flipping it on its head and making it something that only the billionaires can access.”

In the House, Democrats said the increased regulations were an infringement on the First Amendment rights of voters to petition their government.

“I just can’t sit quietly by while we are taking power away from the people,” said Rep. Margaret Good, a Sarasota Democrat. “We don’t have to have constitutional amendments, if we do what the people wanted us to do.”

Fauci: Kids could get ‘infected’ if Florida reopens schools

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — President Donald Trump and top White House health officials on Friday said a proposal floated by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to reopen state schools next month could help spread the coronavirus.

“If you have a situation where you don’t have a real good control over an outbreak and you allow children together, they will likely get infected,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, during the daily news briefing of the White House coronavirus task force.
