As a Floridian who has been paying taxes to this state for more than forty years,

I want to know why Ron De Santis is favoring people and paying their flight plans and uber rides to Martha Vineyard. I think, as a Floridian, he should be fair and offer the same trip amenities to the rest of us who want to visit this fine destination.

When is the best time of the year to schedule my vacation? Spring?

1. It's a one-way trip!

We live in Delray Beach. Other than the politics, my wife and I love it here.

3. It would be a great price break to have half of the travel fees paid by the State.

On a serious note, this gimmick is going to backfire on him.

5. Just denounce your citizenship and declare yourself an illegal alien.

Then, you'll be eligible.

> On a serious note, this gimmick is going to backfire on him.

His voters love this shit. Anything that causes others pain.

If anyone can take him on, it's Charlie Crist. But, I am not so optimistic.

I may be an atheist, but I believe in Crist!

11. "this gimmick is going to backfire on him." For me the trick is how not to make the immigrants

pawns in this sick game of his and abbott..

2. If he wants to pull this stunt, he should be using his OWN $$

[Baitball Blogger]

4. That's correct.

Even if Florida taxpayers are paying for it, it is a gimmick that won't last for long, because people will see it as mishandling money.

6. As a Floridian I'd rather the immigrants remained while the hordes of old, white Republican fascists

who have crossed our northern border were repatriated.

7. Definitely a much better idea.

[onethatcares]

8. totally agree with that or

put the old white republicans to work cleaning green algae out of the lakes and waterways and repairing the Piney Point storage areas.

(Funny how that's dropped out of the news cycle)

10. +1

15. Hey, why didn't I think of that. It's a much better idea! Think how nice things might be without

Old, angry Republicans.

9. Me too, I want to go to New England the end of next month.

Should I put in my request for reservations now for the return trip and for a car to travel around in while we go on a leaf tour?

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Maybe we should petition the governor?

We just went on a vacation to Cape Cod. From what I was told, we hit it on the weekend where they had great weather for the summer. Loved, loved, loved it.

Definitely would go back to Mass. for vacation destinations. It's just that it's the kind of thing that you would need someone who lives there to make up the itinerary for you, because it can get $$$$.

13. Can I steal this for a LTE

to my local paper?

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Oh, please do.

[mcar]

19. Thanks!

[LeftInTX]

16. I would go now

Isn't Florida kinda hot and humid this time of year?

[Baitball Blogger]

18. Florida is miserable at this time of the year.

Humid, and afternoons perpetually in the high eighties to nineties. Along with rolling thunderstorms every afternoon.

Perfect for gardening, but very little else.

17. When Florida used immigrants as pawns, Martha's Vineyard treated them like human beings.
