Gov. DeSantis signs online sales tax planâ via Renzo Downey of Florida Politics â DeSantis has signed the online sales tax bill into law, answering the question of whether he would act on the bill or let it roll into law without his John Hancock. An estimated $1 billion in revenue would come from the new enforcement of sales taxes technically already owed on purchases Floridians make from out-of-state sellers, but which few Floridians pay. DeSantis had until midnight to sign or veto the bill into law or else it would have gone into effect without his signature. Lawmakers sent him the bill on April 12. He waited until one hour left in the day Monday to send the alert that he had signed the measure. DeSantis never signaled his support for the plan. If anything, he voiced his opposition.
As Deon O Neal Jenkins and a friend sat in a car parked outside a Circle K in Palm Coast in the darkness of an early October morning, a man armed with a high-powered rifle concealed himself behind the gas station.
At 3:34 a.m. on Oct. 12, 2019, the man with the gun emerged from the darkness and within four seconds fired 16 shots at Jenkins, 26, and his friend, said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly during a press conference on Friday.
Flashes from the gunfire lit up the darkness. One of the bullets pierced Jenkins heart, killing him, a report said. Jenkins friend was hit in the right thigh and survived.
