Gov. DeSantis signs bill that keeps his travel records secret

Republicans say the move was necessary to protect the governor.

[Theuglytruth]

I’m going to sign a bill that allows me to do what I want with no supervision🤷 the governor is not special. If he can do it we can do it.🤨

[ashleydaniel]

What's he hiding? It's gonna come out any way🤷

[Christine-dzwh]

Why. What’s the secret? Don’t taxpayers get to know what they’re spending money on

[Malmo]

Wait! Did the taxpayers pay for the travel? The info absolutely should not be secret. And if donor pays for his travel that should not be secret either. Could be conflict of interest.

How is that legal?
Isn’t he a public servant? Aren’t those public funds he is using?

[davidshepard]

When it comes to travel, all public servants (local, state and federal) are responsible for full disclosure of taxpayers money and how it is spent. Also, all federal employees are responsible to provide receipts for expenditures when on government sanctioned traveling. That being said, why is Meatball Ron able to do this and what is he hiding?

[tylerdavis]

This is what our complacency is getting us.

[basicallymid]

He's not even faking like he's anything but a baby dictator...

[loridyson]

I can understand keeping future travel plans secret for safety reasons if a Governor is getting constant death threats. But past travel & trip need to be made public or he is hide misuse of tax payers money or committing crimes! It is a public office that you took a oath to sever so your life becomes public knowledge.

Why does the governor need protection, as stated in the video, and from whom?

[HerrFrankenstein]

If you have a public servant who wants to do whatever they want with your tax dollars, vote them out of office...

This story needs to be brought to national headlines more and more.

[johnny]

from 1775 to 2020, 2398 US governors in a row did not do this. Its kind of unusual.

[susanshebel]

Do people not notice he’s a crook amongst other things?

[fallenkeith]

lol and people want that man to be president

[DimplesGenX]

Transparency, public records - trips paid by tax payers. Smh. Crook - out him!

[denniss]

Hmm, he’s a public servant. His travel records should be public information. DeSantis is just a whiner, definitely not presidential material.

[stokelyvieira]

Only people that have things to hide do stuff like that smh what are you trying to hide Santa boy🤔

[CyberSamurai]

Protect him from what?? Whats he scared of?? Desantis is becoming a bigger joke

[TheRealdal]

Only someone who is up to no good would feel the need for such a bill or law. 🤔
