Governor DeSantis
to Stop CCP Influence
Last week,
Governor Ron DeSantis announced executive action and legislative
proposals to address threats posed by the Communist Party of China and
other hostile foreign powers in cyberspace, real estate, and academia.
These
measures will curtail the nefarious intentions of all seven countries
on Florida’s list of countries of concern, making it more difficult
for China, Cuba, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Venezuela to
engage in espionage or influence operations within Florida’s borders
and preventing purchases of agricultural land and lands surrounding
military bases by those governments or their agents.
Governor DeSantis
Proposes Family Tax Relief
Governor
DeSantis announced a portion of his tax relief proposal for the
upcoming legislative session, which provides $1.1 billion in tax
relief for Florida families through multiple tax holidays, if passed
by the Legislature.
“I’m proud
that Florida has a record budget surplus and am happy to propose
historic tax relief to Florida families,” Governor DeSantis said.
“This proposal will allow families to purchase items for their
children at a lower cost and help families keep more money in their
pockets. I look forward to working with the Legislature to bring this
major relief to Florida families.”

Governor DeSantis:
Florida Leads Nation with the Lowest Unemployment Rate Among Largest
States and Most New Businesses
Governor
DeSantis announced Florida’s unemployment rate remained strong at 2.7
percent in August, the lowest unemployment rate among the nation’s 10
largest states, and a full percentage point lower than the national
rate of 3.7 percent. For 21 consecutive months Florida’s unemployment
rate has been lower than the national rate.
Florida
also led the nation in new business formations with 1,534,221 new
businesses, outpacing second place California by more than 250,000 new
business formations since January 2020.
“Florida
has the lowest unemployment rate among the 10 most populous states and
the highest number of new business formations because we have
encouraged workforce development, kept the economy open, and put
Florida families first,” Governor DeSantis said.

AG Moody and Clay
County Sheriff Shut Down Huge Fentanyl Operation —Seizing Enough to
Kill Four Million Floridians
Attorney
General Moody’s Office of Statewide Prosecution and the Clay County
Sheriff’s Office teamed up to shut down a major fentanyl trafficking
operation in Clay County. Attorney General Moody announced that as a
result of the investigation, Clay County deputies arrested two
suspects who ordered and then distributed large quantities of fentanyl
to other dealers in Clay and Duval counties.
Authorities
seized more than eight kilograms of fentanyl, along with assorted
amounts of other drugs and paraphernalia. This is enough fentanyl to
kill more than four million people.
"Fentanyl
is killing Americans at a record pace, and these drug traffickers
compiled enough of this deadly synthetic opioid to kill everyone
within 18 counties of their criminal operation,” Attorney General
Moody said. “Thankfully, working with the Clay County Sheriff’s
Office, we were able to take these deadly drugs off the streets before
they could kill Floridians.”

CFO Jimmy Patronis:
Florida Will Act Against Credit Card Companies Who Target the 2nd
Amendment
Florida
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis issued a statement
following recent media reports that credit card companies are going to
start tracking gun and ammunition sales.
The reports
state that major credit card companies such as Visa, Mastercard and
American Express have decided to apply a new sales code to distinguish
firearm purchases at U.S. gun stores. Additionally, the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals recently ruled on a Texas bill that major
corporations, including banking institutions, do not have a right to
limit American’s constitutional rights.
“The Second
Amendment is foundational to our American way of life. The idea that
law-abiding Americans would be put on some kind of corporate watchlist
is disturbing,” CFO Patronis said. “Our rights come from our Creator,
not the government, and especially not big corporations. It is clear
that the actions by these credit card companies are part of a larger
effort to curtail God-given constitutional rights of Americans. It is
also symptomatic of the virus known as ESG, which is part of a global
effort to socially re-engineer the country that we love so much. There
is no way we are going to allow that to happen in the free state of
Florida.”

LG Nuñez on Fox:
Governor DeSantis will use Every Tool to Address the
Border Crisis Because Joe Biden won’t
On Fox
News, Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez explained why the Florida
Legislature budgeted $12 million to remove illegal aliens to sanctuary
states and cities and Governor DeSantis has acted on it:
“We received $12 million, and (Governor
DeSantis) made it very clear that he was going to spend every penny of
that $12 million to protect Floridians. Because what we're seeing is
that fentanyl overdoses are the number one killer of individuals ages
18 to 45. Human trafficking is a major concern for our state.
“We have had state strike force teams with
law enforcement here in our state, and they have interdicted, and they
have been able to arrest individuals, 38 charges of human smuggling,
and 58 charges of drug trafficking. This is something that should
concern every single Floridian, every single American. And the
governor is going to use every tool at his disposal to address this
crisis because the federal government and Joe Biden refuse to do
so.”
