The governor, Patronis and Moody voted to revoke all proxy voting authority that had previously been given to outside fund managers, clarifying that all fund managers should act solely in the financial interest of the state’s funds. They also announced that they would be conducting a survey of all of the investments of the Florida Retirement System to determine how many assets Florida has in Chinese companies.
“If you look at how these major companies behave when faced with Chinese disapproval, they censor what the CCP tells them to censor and we see groveling apologies,” DeSantis said. “Go back a generation, and the idea of the American elites was, ‘If we allow China into the WTO and give them most favored nation status, that will make China more like us.’ This experiment has failed and it has endangered our nation’s national and economic security.”
The governor’s office said that by Florida “retaking control of the state pension fund’s proxy voting from outside fund managers who may pursue social ideologies inconsistent with the state’s values or the financial interests of the state’s investments, and by determining the state’s exposure to Chinese investments,” Florida’s fiscal footing will be strengthened.
The trustees’ vote also sends a message “to those in corporate America who prop up a genocidal, authoritarian, imperialist regime that they will not do so with Floridians’ money,” the governor added.
“For far too long, the communist regime in China has attempted to infiltrate our financial and educational institutions,” Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez said in a statement applauding the trustees’ decisions, which she says will “curb China’s investment in industries critical to our national security and protect Floridians from the dangers posed by the Chinese Communist Party.“

“If Trump in 2024 doesn’t run this man will have my vote.’

I hope Trump stays out of it, I’m not inclined toward do-over second chances when it comes to the highest office in the land. DeSantis so far looks good, he’s pressing the right buttons and knows how things work.
Go after Blackrock. Take down communist Larry Fink!!!
DeSantis. Everything this guy does makes me like him more.
I agree. DeSantis until 2026!
Floridians and the Country need him right where he is, for now.
“If Trump in 2024 doesn’t run this man will have my vote.”
Same here. Like DeSantis a lot, but Trump’s been tested with everything the Left could throw at him, and he still stands. He gets my vote, hands down, and, in fact, the Left has nothing left to even hit him with.
And as much as I like DeSantis, he could easily do a Ted Cruz style meltdown when the pressure gets super-critical...so I’ll go with the sure thing.
I want Trump to be elected speaker of the house after the 2022 elections. (He doesn’t have to have run for a seat. Trump would be the titular head while McCarthy did all the business. Trump would stay there for about 3 -6 months before he started his campaign for president.)
It would be a beautiful thing to see biden give a state of the union speach with Trump sitting behind him.
Its the kind of picture that would sink into even the thickest of skulls.
That would be a good idea, to be speaker of the house, so he could look over biden’s shoulder...
My biggest Christmas present this year was having the best governor in the United States. God bless and protect this man, as well as those who are working with him to turn back this immoral, lawless, collectivist tide.
The Left is busy flooding Florida with illegals and other fictitious voters to overthrow the government here just as they have done in California.......................
very busy plugging every hole they can find in the ship of state,
Why don’t YOU stay out of it. How about a nice STHU.
You have it backwards. Desantis proponent on FR trash Trump every chance they get. It’s great to be pro Destantis but why trash Trump at the same time? Hmmm?

Observing Trump and Desantis, I would hope and suspect that they are coordinating the attack. They are both goal and results oriented. Very rare these days.
It is the media and many here on FR that want to divide.
