That's as close as you'll come to admitting the ad says nothing about the ballot initiative.
You're not an honest person.
Does an ad against drunk driving mean the governor wants a return to Prohibition?

I did!
I asked you specifically where the amendment is mentioned.
It's not.
Your logic is an advertisement against drunk driving is really a rallying call for reinstating the 18th amendment.
The ad says nothing NOTHING about amendment 3.
It says driving high is dangerous and that kids getting THC gummies is dangerous.
Feel free to argue that if you want.
Don't look now, the Ad Council is (according to your logic) telling you to not vote for amendment 3.
It's two years old, but I'm sure they saw this coming, and put out the propaganda early:
Millions in Florida taxpayer cash fuel DeSantis' ad war on pot, abortion amendments
Gov. Ron DeSantis is spending the election homestretch focused almost solely on two of the costliest ballot campaigns in the nation.

Is that an admittance of guilt? Regardless, I would think that decision is above his pay grade.

Senator Laura Trump? There’s a growing MAGA pressure campaign on Florida Governor Ron DeSantos to appoint Laura Trump as U.S. Senator to fill Marco Rubio’s spot as he becomes Secretary of State.
Earlier today, Sen. Katie Britt and FL Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, MAGA influencer Benny Johnson and others came out publicly in support of the dear leader's daughter-in-law
JFC why and how did we end up here.
something......something....."I love the uneducated!"..........
JEA here in Jax is raising rates for the first time in decades but we still pay less than any major city in Florida.
I’m SO glad Nikki Fried is still posting stuff. She’s so easy to make fun of!

FPL owns MILES AND MILES of former farmland in NoFla which they’ve bought and converted to solar farms. Gotta raise rates to pay for climate change! Just pray hard there’s no hailstorms.
Do you really think they have no plans for this? They'll be dumbfounded the first time it happens? I'd bet they'd appreciate a heads up from you.
FYI: NCAR had a major hailstorm out here in Boulder a few years ago.
<1% of their panels were damaged (out of 4000+).
In comparison, people with regular roofing shingles all had to replace their roofs.
OP could've linked the actual report, but he doesn't read articles he links, what are the odds he's actually read the report?

Once again, Florida is leading the nation, with over $36.05 billion in net income moving into our state each year. While this is $3 billion less than last year, that is being driven by an increase in outbound migration, not a decrease in inbound migration. Even with the slight decline, this figure is approximately 3.5 times the net income migration of Texas (which is #2), once again solidifying Florida’s position as the number one destination for income migration in the United States.
Florida has maintained a lower unemployment rate than the nation for 4 consecutive years, boasts the lowest debt per capita, and is typically creating 1 in 10 jobs in the nation annually.
Florida currently has more open jobs than unemployed people. The latest data shows that for every 100 open jobs, there are only 97 Floridians looking for work.
The study conducted in 2023, the same timeframe as this migration data, shows that nearly 86% of employers had intentions to hire new employees in the next year. Florida does not have a shortage of job opportunities, and has a flourishing education system, but needs to strengthen the pipeline and awareness between the two. Florida is the top state in the nation for higher education according to U.S. News and World Report and is 1st in the country for 4-year college affordability.
The median home listing price increased by nearly 41% from the first quarter of 2019 to the second quarter of 2024. Over the same time period, per capita personal income increased by 35%. As growth in housing prices outpaces growth in income, many of Florida’s residents feel the pressures of housing costs and many are citing moving out of the state because of it. However, this trend of increasing home prices is not unique to Florida. Nationally, median listing prices increased by 47%, but personal income per capita increased by 33%. In 40 of the 50 states, the increase in home prices outpaced the growth in income by a larger margin than in Florida. However, Texas and North Carolina experienced income growth that kept up with, or even outpaced, the rising cost of housing -which potentially provides some context as to why Floridians are moving to those states.
In October 2024, Florida had the 23rd-highest median home listing price in the country. Rather than the actual sale price, this listing price is the sticker shock that families see as they go through the process of buying a home – which is the largest factor driving people out. While Florida has cheaper homes than 22 other states, the largest portion of Florida’s out migration is to Tennessee, North Carolina, and Georgia – all of which have lower median home listing prices.
Another challenge that Floridians have faced in terms of affordability is related to property insurance costs. While increases in property values and natural weather occurrences certainly play a role, the real drivers of high property insurance costs actually come from a legal environment that has historically incentivized lawsuits that have dramatically increased the cost of doing business in Florida. Consider this, property insurance claims in Florida makeup 14.9% of all property insurance claims in the U.S., however, lawsuits regarding those claims in Florida alone make up 71% of all property insurance lawsuits in the U.S. This inconsistency, and abuse of our legal system has added thousands of dollars in costs per household, leading to the recent increases Floridians have experienced over the past few years.
Now, when it comes to insurance and legal reform, it is not all bad news. A couple pieces of legislation, which were business-led by the Florida Chamber of Commerce and its partners, have shored up some concerns and will be drivers of lower costs moving forward. Specifically, SB 2-A, which was signed by Governor DeSantis in December of 2022, and HB 837, which was signed by the Governor in March of 2023, implement a number of reforms that improve protections for Floridians against frivolous lawsuits and provide a support positive changes to property insurance and tort reform throughout the state. To date, there is evidence these reforms are working. There have been nine new insurers that have entered the Florida homeowner’s insurance market, and 3.4 million homeowners will either see a rate decrease or a zero percent increase at their next renewal.
Tourists paid $39.6 billion in visitor taxes in 2022, thereby adding to the state’s coffers at a level that
added to the financial well being of the State without a new tax burden on the residents.
In return Floridians get overcrowded roads and hopeless traffic jams. More leveling of our old growth wooded areas and draining of natural water areas. Frankly many of us don’t approve of the population growth.

Ron DeDumDum is holding a press conference with several Florida showboat sheriffs complaining about homeless people in California

Grady Judd could probably be elected to a statewide office in Florida. And a few other states as well around the country.
Lee County sheriff was never qualified to be a deputy when he moved from NY state and was then hired to be a deputy in Collier County. He has been a clownshow, showboat, who stands out among Florida showboat sheriffs. If a democrat did a fraction of what Marceno has done, Meatball Ron DeDumDum would have long since removed him or her from office.

Finally, the legislature is pushing back at the dictator in Trailerhassee. It is long overdue. He wants to terrorize immigrants in order to please Orange Jesus and to throw red meat to the very backwards MAGA base.
NOT HAPPENING? Florida legislators shoot down DeSantis' call for special session

Someone in DeDumDum's orbit must have made a threatening phone call to the newly elected Dade County sheriff (a close friend of one of my retired fraternity bro police officer and his retired police officer wife) after she said she would defy the MAGA round up of immigrants

What is up with DeSantis lately? Feeling overlooked? Needs to make a splash to keep the remnants of his political future alive?
He knows it's over. It will be an angry and vengeful exit over the next two years. Hopefully some Florida republicans find a spine and get in a few shots before he leaves and is thankfully never heard from again.
Certainly true in today's world, where being entertaining and quotable in a press conference is far more important than being effective at the actual job.
