After contested recounts in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, DeSantis, 40, prevailed over Gillum, 39, by a margin more svelte than Palm Beach — 49.6 percent to 49.2 percent. Among 8.1 million ballots cast, just 32,463 votes divided victor from vanquished.

What most do not know is that big sugar has a million or so acres of sugar growing in South Florida.
They can get two or three harvests from each plot of land a year.

Politicians like Little Marco are controlled by big sugar who block any attempt to control this pollution.

oh yeah, that agency is running around stoppong you from using a bab b que.
He’s a great prospect. One thing is for sure, the GOP base won’t support another Establishment candidate.
Add about 50,000 votes.
But do not sit relaxed, Florida is turning bluer by the day.
First, whole bunch of liberals from east coast are moving here for warmer weather and lower taxes.
And this state is a magnet for Hispanics. Jobs are plenty here.
