Gov. Ron DeSantis must know he’s risking voter backlash over his reckless and irresponsible insistence on spending Florida taxpayers’ dollars to ferry migrants from other states around the country.
Why else would the state continue its seemingly endless delays over the release of public records on the migrant flights?
The latest round came Tuesday. DeSantis’ lawyers went to a Tallahassee appeals court to argue that the administration’s failure to provide public records about the controversial Texas-to-Massachusetts flights was because of Hurricane Ian. Oh, and the governor’s office also was backed up with more than 150 records requests, the lawyers said.
