“I don’t agree to give taxpayers’ money to professional sports stadiums,” DeSantis said Friday at a news conference, when asked about the youth sports complex’s veto. “Companies are free to interact or not in the speech of their choice, however, it is transparent that it makes no sense to make taxpayers’ money for professional sports stadiums. It is also out of place to subsidize the political activism of a personal company.
The Tampa Bay Rays said on May 26 that they would donate $50,000 to the Everytown Gun Safety Support Fund and use their channels to provide information about gun violence following “devastating events that took place in Uvalde, Buffalo and many other communities. “throughout our nation.
Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates for gun protection measures, is subsidized through Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP.
Last week, an 18-year-old killed 19 young men and two teachers at a Texas elementary school, and a racist attack 10 days earlier at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, left 10 others dead.
The Tampa Bay Times reported Thursday on the veto from DeSantis’ approval of next year’s state budget.
DeSantis, widely known as an imaginable candidate for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race, has focused on a series of culture wars, popular issues with his base and moved to confront opposing corporations. In April, he signed a law to deprive Walt Disney Co. of their privileges of autonomy in the state after society criticized a law it supported that limited schooling in gender identity and sexual orientation.
