DeSantis said.

RT @fineout: Article III, Sec. 4 - all prearranged gatherings ... between the governor, the president ... or the speaker... the purpose of…
RT @fineout: Hmm. RPOF is proposing a “leadership summit” between @GovRonDeSantis & legislative leaders … so about that https://t.co/VE6n…
Another fun fact: it is possible come July 1, Florida won’t have a budget or CFO. Gov. DeSantis has said he’s waiting for the session to end to appoint someone. Likely a senator.
