Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday night vetoed a measure that would have increased warnings for Floridians and tourists when a beach or public waterway is polluted.
The bill required the Florida Department of Healthto issue health advisories if water quality failed to meet the agency’s standards and required closing polluted beaches “if it is deemed necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public,” according to a House staff analysis of the bill.
The measure also required municipalities and counties to notify the state health department of unsafe water quality within 24 hours and required counties to post signs warning of unsafe waters, according to the bill.
Not only was the bill bipartisan, it sailed through both the Florida House and Senate with unanimous approval.
This guys pulling a Mayor Vaughn now “keep the beaches open!”

Ah the good old republican way. Just ignore the issue and there is no issue!
Exactly like trump’s “just don’t test” when covid rolled around and he didn’t like the numbers.
That felon is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.
If people don’t know the water is polluted then they can’t get sick from it.

This guy really is a meatball. No brains, just meat.
They won’t have to worry about testing water when the sea levels rise from climate change.
He should prove it by drinking some
Full disclosure: I have some unhealthty fantasies about DeSanctimonius being exorcised and renewed in the blood of the cleansing waters of Ganges river
