Florida poised to make DeSantis' travel records secret

Yahoo News
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ use of state planes and other information about his official travel could soon be secret under a far-reaching bill that is coming while the Republican governor has been ramping up visits across the country ahead of a likely presidential campaign.
The Florida Senate passed the bill Wednesday by a 28-12 vote, with Republicans using their supermajority to pass the measure since the Florida Constitution requires exemptions to the state’s public records law to clear a required two-thirds threshold. The legislation heads next to the Florida House, where lawmakers are also expected to pass it.
The legislation would not only apply to future travels by DeSantis, but it would also apply retroactively to all records dealing with the governor’s use of the state plane, as well as other top state officials such as legislative leaders.
Republicans contend they are pushing for the bill, SB 1616, at the urging of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the agency which now manages the state plane used by the governor and which has been inundated with record requests. GOP lawmakers asserted that releasing the information would allow someone to look for “patterns” that could jeopardize DeSantis’ security.
Also, retro-actively is strange. Does he want past/future Ukraine trips hidden?
I get security but even Presidents schedules/locations are published. Floridians won't know if he is using their money/ The State plane, to campaign.

Why they voting to pass the bill?

It’s a different ball game now. The D.C. game is different. Anyone who didn’t see the GOPe cheerleading for him as far back as mid-term election night, they must have been keeping the blinders on. The GOPe TDSers have chosen him as THEIR Trump killer. He’s just along for the ride now. They own him.

I think she meant censor the media about his travels.
The crooks in DC always let us know where they are going. The only times they don't are flying into visit troops or Biden to Ukraine w/ the fake air raid siren's.
They always report it afterwards. DeSantis wants stealth travel. He wants himself and his staff/cabinet's travels retroactively sealed secret- So it isn't a security concern...

Seems like a no brainer. Trumpists are out for this guy and so is the left. Wouldn’t be surprised if a Cult 45 member tried to take him out.
