DeSantis Politicking In Ohio As Ft. Lauderdale Flooded
The mayor said in a press conference that he hadn't yet heard from the governor.
Rhonda Santis seems to have a problem doing his actual job -- you know, the one he gets paid for? Via The New Republic:
Parts of Florida are experiencing the heaviest rainfall in history, and Governor Ron DeSantis is on the scene to help his constituents.
Not really. He’s on a book tour in Ohio.
Fort Lauderdale, in southern Florida, had the rainiest day in its history Wednesday, sparking a flash flood emergency in Broward County, where the city is located. The region got more than a foot of rainfall, but Fort Lauderdale alone got about 26 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. A meteorologist for the National Weather Service described the rainfall as a “1-in-1,000 year event, or greater.”
This is just one reason Florida has a law requiring someone to resign if they're running for federal office. Fortunately for Rhonda, his minions in the state legislature are working hard to overturn that law -- harder than Ron works to help the people of Florida.
