DeSantis fires back after California bans state travel to Florida
Florida is one of 17 states on Californias state-funded travel ban, due to the Sunshine States laws involving LGBTQ people.
Gov. Ron DeSantis office fired back this week after Florida was added to a list of places targeted by California because of laws involving LGBTQ people.
California said it is halting state-funded travel to Florida and four other states because of what it considers discriminatory laws.
Congratulations to California for somehow managing to create a new way to politicize its bureaucracy, Christina Pushaw, a DeSantis spokeswoman, said after Florida was added to Californias travel-ban list now at 17 states.
California lawmakers created the list in 2016. Under it, California state agencies are prohibited from state-funded travel to states with laws allowing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
