Both democratically run.
Also of note since I’m in the area often- If SWGA had a murder problem that’s wasn’t just gangbangers shooting gangbangers, I’d absolutely want the national guard there.

Mack Butler was among those cheering this week as Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo announced plans to scrap all school vaccine requirements in the state, a move that shocked health and education officials across the country but thrilled activists opposed to mandates.
Butler, a Republican state representative in Alabama, said the Sunshine State’s sweeping move gives fresh momentum to his efforts to pass legislation in his own state, where he is pushing to reduce barriers to parents claiming religious exemptions from vaccinating their kids.
“What happened in Florida is a reaction and pushback to all the lies we were told by the government during covid,” said Butler, whose bill failed to pass the legislature in Montgomery last year. “I don’t know if other states will do it — but a lot of us watch Florida.”
Ladapo’s step to unravel vaccine requirements in the third most populous state has emboldened figures across the “health freedom” movement like Butler, who hope Florida’s announcement will inspire state policymakers to keep pushing laws to loosen vaccine mandates across the country. It also won Ladapo accolades from political figures, including Trump supporter Stephen K. Bannon, who pronounced on his podcast that Ladapo would be his pick to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But President Donald Trump poured some cold water Friday on Ladapo’s push. “You have some vaccines that are so incredible. And I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don’t have to be vaccinated,” the president said when asked in the Oval Office about mandates being rolled back for children. “It’s a tough stance. Look, you have vaccines that work. … They’re not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used.”
Hundreds of vaccine-related bills like Butler’s have been introduced in state legislatures across the country since the covid-19 pandemic, but the vast majority fail to actually become law, according to experts and data from the National Conference of State Legislatures. But momentum in red states against vaccines has been bolstered by the ascent of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, to the nation’s top health post, where he has upended vaccine policy.

Florida has officially banned chemtrails. Sort of.
On Friday, June 20, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a controversial bill banning "geoengineering and weather modification activities" to curb projected efforts to fight climate change and suspected efforts which some conspiracy theorists have claimed are used by individuals or government agencies to spread toxic chemicals on an unsuspecting populace through the white trails in the sky left by airplanes.
"Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering," DeSantis posted on X in May. "We already do not permit this type of activity, but we are going the next step to ensure it does not happen in this state."
The bill, sponsored by Republican Sen. Ileana Garcia, repeals regulations allowing cloud seeding and requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to create an email and online form for any residents with concerns about weather modification or to report sightings.
As of Oct. 1, publicly owned airports will have to submit monthly reports listed any aircraft equipped to disperse substances with atmospheric altering capabilities or lose state funding.
Violations can mean up to a $100,000 fine and up to five years in jail.
The word "chemtrails" appears nowhere in the bill, but it did come up in multiple discussions of the bill and in social media posts shared by Garcia. Tennessee passed a similar law last year, with several legislators referring to fears from the long-running and debunked chemtrails conspiracy.

I wonder if our academic is curious about racial crime data.
He's well versed in dental records, but perhaps he can actually help society by researching data of those who actually hurt people
(And I dont mean those crazies who DONT wear masks in his classroom)
