Scared off conventions, scared off tourists, scared off potential resisdents (and scaring current residents), scared off basically anything that could help Florida with its biggest problems. Time will tell if Floridians actually want this or not.

We can only hope the economic consequences make them question their disastrous choices. I personally chose another beach destination for a recent vacation because I just want nothing to do with that state. Hoping others do the same.

My Mom adores Disney, has her whole life. I told her last time she suggested a family vacation I'd rather go to Disneyland over World given the state of Florida - I just don't feel safe there. Wifey agreed, as did my sister and her husband.
