'An excuse to make it harder for everyday citizens to have their voices heard'

https://www.floridaphoenix.com/2021/02/08/an-excuse-to-make-it-harder-for-everyday-citizens-to-have-their-voices-heard/]

“Instead of an intense focus on ending the rising death toll and economic hardships caused by COVID-19, we see instead our state leaders working to give corporations immunity from COVID-19 lawsuits, criminalize peaceful protests, and pass unpopular abortion bans,” Ferrulo wrote. “These are the wrong priorities even in the best of times, and to use COVID as an excuse to silence citizens who want to participate in the democratic process and defeat these proposals is shameful.”


In other words ... so much for “government in the sunshine.”

If you live in Florida, please show the Phoenix some love by sharing their links and throwing a few bucks their way. This is real journalism, folks!
