Florida's version of FADA died in committee

Jay Fant tried to advance his quest to become Florida's AG through the introduction of a license-to-discriminate bill

Florida's Republican controlled legislature is quite sane by GOP standards. Hell, they even passed a meaningful gun safety measure and now they have killed off HB-871 which was a garden variety license to discriminate endeavor.

HB-871 was introduced by Rep. Jay Fant whose district includes parts of downtown Jacksonville and Rep. Scott Plakon whose district is in central Florida. I wrote about this when the bill was first introduced. It was an attempt to bolster Fant's campaign to become the state's next AG. I have no idea what Plakon was thinking.

At least for now, ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead.
