Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tried to distance himself from a controversial proposal to build golf courses and hotels in state parks, saying he didn’t approve the proposals before they were "leaked."
"It was not approved by me, I never saw that," DeSantis said at an Aug. 28 news conference in Winter Haven. "They’re going back to the drawing board. … They’re not doing anything this year. They’re going to go back and basically listen to folks."
The proposal for some state parks sparked outrage among residents. DeSantis made it sound as if the "half-baked" plan was leaked before it was ready. But the department’s attempted public rollout shows this was a proposal in its final stages.
