National guard was removing trees from the roads in Lakewood Ranch by 10am on Thursday! Planning = Action - this is what the govt. is suppose to do and Gov. Desantis is so great at this project management

Hallmark of a true LEADER (backed by an excellent team) - keeping business owners & the residents in his state IN TOUCH - outlining the steps taken/or to be taken...always with his people on his mind. So GOOD to hear of governement & state agencies working TOGETHER, not pitted against one another. To the Governor & his team - our heartfelt thanks - for helping local businesses & people.
