Florida Governor Ron DeSantis plans to veto a $35 million legislation for a Tampa Bay Rays’ spring training facility.
DeSantis’s decision, according to Outkick, is in response to the Rays “politicizing” recent shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde ahead of a matchup with the Yankees in May.
Guns for teachers: Ohio Statehouse passes bill, DeWine ‘looks forward’ to signing it
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – An Ohio bill allowing education staff to carry guns in schools with reduced training is on its way to Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk.
On the heels of a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that left 21 people dead, the bill was fast-tracked through the Statehouse Wednesday, with the Senate voting 23-9 in favor of the bill, and the House approving it just hours later with a 56-34 vote, with nine abstentions.
The bill, House Bill 99, allows any adult in a public or private school to carry a concealed firearm in a school’s safety zone if a district chooses to do so without the 737 hours of peace officer training required by current law.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Thomas Hall (R-Madison Township), passed the House in November with a 59-33 vote but was returned to the House for a concurrence vote after the Senate’s passage.
