Ron "unceremoniously" signs Fl. law to hide his travel and visitors records.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law Thursday that would hide records about his past and future travel, as well as powerful people he meets with, at a time when he's widely expected to be on the cusp of announcing he'll run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
DeSantis signed the bill into law unceremoniously on Thursday afternoon, among more than 35 other bills. His office sent an email to the press that listed the bills that were now law.
Under the new law, details about the governor's trips — whether on state planes or private, chartered flights — will be retracted, including names of staff and family members that travel with DeSantis. Visitor logs to the governor's mansion and his office also will be hidden.
The retraction will shield information not just from journalists but from DeSantis's political opponents, who would likely compile droves of research to use against the governor for public scrutiny. Chief among these could be instances in which DeSantis traveled with lobbyists or others who might have been trying to curry favor with him.
Wealthy donors helped pay for DeSantis's travel during his successful 2022 reelection campaign and for him to travel to rallies to support other Republicans, according to an Orlando Sentinel investigation.
Asked about the legislation last week, during an unrelated press conference on public safety, DeSantis said the measure hadn't "necessarily" been his idea but was "motivated by security concerns."
"The issue is, with a security situation, how you do patterns of movements if you're somebody that is targeted — which unfortunately I am, and I get a lot of threats — that could be something that could be helpful for people who might not want to do good things," DeSantis said.

We went over this a couple weeks ago. Do you really not remember? And the usual neverDeSantis'ers were here making claims that were false. I posted the actual bill. The usuals refused to comment on the bill. The other usuals called me names.
You don't remember this?

I don't think Business Insider is lying about this. I'm pretty sure Ron signed legislation to hide his travel and visitor records.

Odd that they would make all those claims and not include the text of the bill.

Why can't the public know who's he's speaking to as gears up for a run for the presidency?
Who are these people he's trying to hide from the public?

You and a few others average ten threads daily about him. The obsession is real.
He’s wise to be cautious.

I don't mind though. Keep following me around. I'll embarrass you anywhere that makes you happy.

13 the conclusion of the transportation service.
Oh no...such deceit. They clearly crafted this bill to hide financial records, despite the bill does not mention withholding any financial records, just so they can release said records...1 MONTH LATER.
Remainder of amendment
