Without fanfare and after business hours, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law that prevents local governments from requiring worker protections from heat exposure and forbidding them to impose minimum wage requirements on contractors.

DeSantis’ office revealed that he had approved the measure (HB 433) in a news release without comment on Thursday night. For much of his administration, including Friday, the governor has held news conferences to celebrate bill signings.

More good work from Governor DeSantis.

More democrat drivel from Trollboy.

Do your masters in the democrat party tell you exactly what to post?

““Floridians feel it getting hotter and understand how difficult and dangerous it is to labor in the sun and heat,” opponents said in an April 2 letter. “Preempting local governments’ ability to protect workers...”

When I was young, working in Arizona, I quickly figured out how to PROTECT MYSELF! Long sleeves and a cowboy hat became part of my outdoor work gear without ANY government.

“You and maximus should get a room.”

They could share intimate, late-night conversations about what it’s like to live with an all-consuming obsession.

Fudgepacker_c is like one of those Japanese soldiers who were still fighting WWII from a deserted island somewhere in 1964. DeSantis and Trump are getting along but (s)he can’t let it go.

Many of you were so happy he signed a law authored by a dermatologist to expand screening for skin cancer to all state workers and their families....

And yet you won’t say how happy you are desanctus is keeping workers from having access to water, or getting water breaks in hot weather?

Read the article and learn the left’s action you are pushing, the state already has standards.

“the Center for Biological Diversity, Earthjustice, the League of Women Voters of Florida, the Farmworker Association of Florida and the NAACP Florida State Conference signed letters asking DeSantis to veto the bill.”

Until you learn how to spell, your words have the same value as flatus.

That’s an astonishing collection of human debris requesting a veto.

“””””That’s an astonishing collection of human debris requesting a veto.”””””

It should make a conservative want to look a little more into it before he attacks the Republicans for supporting the bill, or perhaps at least read the article he posted to attack the Republicans.
