* Another day, another Ron DuhSantis-branding proclamation. This time it was about public university professors attaining or retaining tenure. “We need to make sure the faculty are held accountable and make sure they don’t just have tenure forever without having any type of way to hold them accountable or evaluate what they’re doing,” said the governor after a bill signing. Wonder if Joseph Ladapo agrees. House Speaker Chris Sprowls helped out, so to speak, by framing the legislation as a way to prevent, you guessed it, “indoctrination” of students.
* “Woke Disney” has “lost any moral authority to tell you what to do.” That’s from a fund-raising email that the governor sent to supporters.
* In 2022, the Sunshine State is projected to be 11.1 percent below the amount of business-travel revenue in 2019, the last full year before the pandemic. Nationally, such revenues are projected to be down 23.1 percent according to a report by the American Hotel and Lodging Association.
* “I’ve met Martin Luther King. I don’t just talk about him. He taught me peaceful protests, and here we are in 2022 rolling back the tide.”–State Rep. Yvonne Hinson, D-Gainesville.
