Winners and losers emerging from the 2021 Legislative Session

Winners and losers emerging from the 2021 Legislative Session
They all can't be winners. Here is the definitive list of who's up and who took a fall.
The ending of a Session is never a surprise. It’s like harvest season. What you get at the end is the result of months, maybe even years of tilling, planting, watering, tending, and shepherding.
Against the odds and despite many challenges, the 2021 Legislative Session ended on time. The House Speaker and the Senate President were together for the iconic dropping of the hankie. There weren’t any strained smiles or forced compliments. They stood side by side, thanking each other as much as they talked about themselves.

Cruise bill heads to governor

Stung by a last-minute political maneuver that pushed a bill reversing Key Westâs limits on large cruise ships across the state legislative finish line, supporters of ship restrictions were licking their wounds Thursday morning and putting their last hopes on Gov. Ron DeSantis to veto the bill.
The odds of that happening, however, may be slim. Not only has DeSantis filed a lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to force the agency to restore ship sailings in the United States, his political action committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis, last month accepted 11 donations totaling $995,000 from Mark Walsh, owner of Pier B, which handles a majority of cruise ship traffic in Key West, according to a story in the Miami Herald this week. Walshâs company, Pier B Development Corp., had filed a lawsuit against Key West last year to stop ship and passenger limits referenda from being placed on the cityâs November ballot.

Capitol News Service » Blog Archive » Bill Limiting Local Control of Ports Heads to Senate Floor

Legislation aimed at undoing three local referendums passed last year in Key West cleared its final committee stop in the Senate Wednesday.
While the legislation may be aimed at the Keys, it would limit the ability of any Florida city or county to regulate their ports.
Key west approved three referendums last year pushing for more environmentally friendly cruise ships and limiting the size and number of cruise ships that could dock in their port.
“Smaller, safer, cleaner ships,” said Captain Will Benson with the National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council.
