Floridians balk at DeSantis administration plan to build golf courses at state parks

Associated Press/Report for America

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Ron DeSantis has enjoyed rock solid support from the Republicans who dominate state politics.

But it appears a political line in the sand is being drawn after DeSantis’ administration announced plans this week to carve out golf courses and pickleball courts in Florida’s beloved state parks from Miami to the Panhandle. Unlike the issues of abortion, LGBTQ rights, race and guns that have divided voters, state parks apparently hold a place in the hearts of Floridians regardless of party.
