DeSantis bans local governments from protecting workers from heat and limits police oversight boards

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida is seeing two more recent instances of state government under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis limiting the powers of local government with newly-signed bills that deal with worker safety and police oversight.

A bill signed Thursday bans local governments from requiring heat and water breaks for outdoor workers. And a bill DeSantis signed Friday strips local citizen police oversight boards from investigating officers.

OUTDOOR WORKER SAFETY

In a bill DeSantis signed Thursday, Florida, one of the hottest states in the country, local governments will be banned from requiring heat and water breaks for outdoor workers.

It was a direct response to Miami-Dade County’s effort to require shade and water for construction, farm and other outdoor workers.

Fucker...

Isn’t it something how these small government freedom loving libertarines love them some big strong central government when it suits the corporations that fund them?

Florida bridges won't carry Pride colors, DeSantis' administration says
noting
Jared W. Perdue, P.E. on X: "As Floridians prepare ..." / X

As Floridians prepare for Freedom Summer, Florida's bridges will follow suit, illuminating in red, white, and blue from Memorial Day through Labor Day!

Thanks to the leadership of @GovRonDeSantis, Florida continues to be the freest state in the nation.

Back to the article.

As part of DeSantis’ “Freedom Summer” initiative, the state’s transportation secretary announced that bridges can only be illuminated in red, white and blue this summer.

...
The order bars any bridges from carrying rainbow colors for Pride Month — or any other colors to commemorative other occasions.

The Ringling Causeway Bridge over Sarasota Bay usually lights up in rainbow colors for a week in June, and also marks other causes during the summer, such as orange for National Gun Awareness Month and yellow for Women’s Equality Day.

Doesn't seem like much freedom to me.

Florida officials investigate voters who signed abortion ballot initiative | Florida | The Guardian - "Activists say investigation by agency set up by Ron DeSantis into whether fraud took place is voter intimidation"

Florida law enforcement officials are investigating voters who signed a petition to get a closely watched abortion rights measure on the ballot this fall, showing up at the homes of some residents unannounced in what activists say is an effort to intimidate voters.

Organizers turned in more than 900,000 signatures in January to get a measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution. The deadline to challenge signatures has passed, but a state agency created by DeSantis to investigate voter fraud recently began investigating whether there was fraud in the gathering process.
