DeSantis signs legislation in Fort Myers with lens on D.C.

An appearance by Gov Ron DeSantis at Southwest Florida Public Service Academy at Fort Myers Technical College on Friday turned out to be almost as much about national immigration issues as it was about the signing of banking legislation at a time when DeSantis is expected to run for president

With remarks such as “the border should be shut down,” DeSantis took on federal bureaucratic measures from immigration to the environment, banking and covid shots

“They don’t vote on any of this stuff You have a massive, out-of-control bureaucracy,” DeSantis said “They will just issue 600-page rules that transform our economy, transform our society They just did one, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) put out one about coal and natural gas-fired power plants Nobody voted on that They just did it ” DeSantis also took aim at a restructuring of fees by the Federal Housing Finance Agency that will lower some interest rates for lower-credit borrowers while raising some interest rates for higher-credit borrowers “That is social engineering,” DeSantis said
