'DeSantis Proves Freedom Means Something Else In Florida With Draconian DOT Bridge Lighting Mandate'

"Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis declared a so-called Freedom Summer for the state kicking off May 27 and running through September 2. Freedom, as I understand it, means that a people can act, speak, or think as they want without the restraint of a governing body. So that must mean DeSantis is killing some long-unnecessary law, like the requirement to have an operators’ license to ride a skateboard, or the ban on unmarried women parachuting on Sundays. No, instead Freedom Summer is a mandate aimed at the state’s Department of Transportation, imposing new American Flag-colored lighting mandates for bridges."

"It doesn’t take much grey matter between your ears to come to the conclusion that this is the governor-and-one-time-presidential-candidate’s way of preventing many of the state’s bridges from their traditional presentation of rainbow colors during June’s Pride Month."
