de santis voter police

$14,000. per vote spent for this Department which was developed in response to 262 voter fraud claims on 11 million cast votes.

In 2020, with a push from state representative daniel perez, the florida voter police department was established. Initially the force was to be 52 members with a $6 million budget but was pared to 15 members with a $3.7 million budget. This year on August 20th, 20 were arrested of which 13 were black and/or democrats for voting in the 2020 election.

In 2018, 65% of the Florida population voted to restore the vote for those who were incarcerated.

Many of those arrested were given voter registration cards, and all given erroneous information. The fines are $1000., however, 2 white men from the villages of florida were given community service. Another disparity. Those not given the $1000. option could face up to 5 years in prison.

Believe another class action is due.

Disney versus desantis

Today Disney was punished by Florida gov. ron desantis for disparaging his Don’t Say Gay Bill. The law the Florida republican legislature passed will remove some of Disney’s special tax benefits and other incentives. Disney is probably Florida’s biggest cash cow and to slap the hand that feeds you especially when they have donated close to a million last year to elect Florida republicans is quite a chess move.

While it may take years to sort this change out I doubt Mickey and Minnie are happy about this. In fact they have suspended all political contributions. As one NPR guest stated in a broadcast this evening, and I paraphrase, politicians come and go, but companies stay.

Would be interesting to see who Disney supports in the coming election especially in light of Charlie Crist’s double digit lead in most of the polls. Perhaps Disney will bring him over the finish line?
