In this week’s edition of Facing South Florida:
In a follow-up to last week’s special edition of Facing, CBS News Miami’s Jim DeFede talks to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. The Democrat from Rhode Island, who is the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, was in South Florida to talk about how climate change and sea level rise poses a serious risk not only to our homes but also to our economy.
Plus, in about a month and a half Florida voters will decide Amendment 4, which would eliminate the state’s six-week abortion ban and would return Florida to what it was like before the U.S. Supreme Court struck Roe v. Wade.
DeFede and his guests discuss how Governor Ron DeSantis is leading the charge against Amendment 4, why the ACLU of Florida has filed a lawsuit over claims the governor is abusing his power to defeat the amendment, and the Governor’s public comments about what he says is an ongoing criminal investigation into how the signatures were gathered that put it on the ballot.
