Hello, is this the 911 operator? I need to report someone who’s a danger to themselves and others. It’s the Florida Legislature. No, operator, this is not a joke! Didn’t you hear what they did? After one of Florida’s worst hurricane seasons in years, they passed a bill to block local governments from trying to build back better. And they did it right before the start of another hurricane season, one that’s predicted to be above normal, just like last year.

Restoration work is focused on everything from a tiny salamander in the Panhandle to the massive Everglades. A frosted flatwoods salamander, held by a biologist from the Amphibian and Reptile Conservatory. Before last week, I’d never heard of the frosted flatwoods salamander. Now that I have, I think it’s kind of cool. It’s a wiggly little amphibian with black-and-white stripes, sort of like if you crossed a zebra with one of those lizards that race across your porch.

Dear Gov. DeSantis,Congratulations! You’ve achieved something rare in our deeply divided country. You’ve once again united a lot of people from disparate backgrounds and beliefs. Of course, you’ve united them against you and one of your agencies — but that’s a price you’re apparently willing to pay, over and over, and I salute you for it. Last year, you brought people together to stop your plan to put golf courses, 300-room hotels, and pickleball courts in state parks.
