The true Second Amendment Heroes of the 2021 Legislative Session are: Senate President Wilton Simpson (R), House Speaker Chris Sprowls (R), Rep. Cord Byrd (R), Sen. Joe Gruters (R), Rep.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday vetoed $625,000 in state funding for two separate Gainesville city projects while at the same time greenlighting millions in spending on other local initiatives.
The two projects vetoed are a Community Resource Paramedic (CRP) program and a bus transfer station on the east side of the city.
State Rep. Yvonne Hinson, D-Gainesville, sponsored two separate bills requesting an appropriation for each. Both are proposed as multi-year projects requiring anywhere between $3 million and $10 million.
