MAKING BANK

-

The biggest beneficiar­ies to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ work for Florida is not its people; we are at the bottom of his list.

Who benefits from his brazen attempts to make himself known nationally? From what I can gather, he is keeping a lot of lawyers very busy and making them very rich. Every outlandish, and often unnecessar­y, law he signs will be challenged in the courts. Lawyers paid by taxpayers will be arguing the constituti­onality of these affronts to democra- cy for years. Just think of all those billable hours.

The national media are another beneficiar­y to this craziness. DeSantis and Florida have became nationwide jokes. I congratula­te the governor for being featured regularly on network news and late-night talk shows.

I have lived in Florida since the 1970s and have never been so appalled by our state’s legislativ­e officials.

It’s all so depressing and sad.
