Ron DeSantis Hiding His Travel Records Sparks Outrage: 'How Is This Legal?'

DeSantis signed SB 1616 along with 36 other bills into law on Thursday which will prevent law enforcement from sharing details about the governor's trips, including the mode of transport or who was traveling with him.
The law will also protect the travel arrangement for people "for whom such services are requested by the governor," from Florida's public records laws, meaning trips not directly involving DeSantis may still be shielded.

"It strains credulity to suggest that hiding travel records could somehow prevent a security breach in the future," Wilcox told Insider. "His position is that the public should know how taxpayer money is being spent to fund the trips, particularly because DeSantis's official stops—on everything from signing a bill into law to announcing new funding—often mimic campaign events with DeSantis ticking off his accomplishments or attacking President Joe Biden.
"How else can we know whether the travel was an appropriate use of public funds and hold those responsible accountable?"

8 PM Update:
Wait! There’s more today… Here is the latest about the Florida Republican attacks on Disney:
Stripping Disney World of its 'no-fly' zone
(Click the little 3 dot button to Show transcript.)
This is a move by Republicans in the US Congress to have the FAA revoke Disney’s no-fly zone, but it is obviously just another part of the state Republican attack on Disney.
I go to the beaches near Orlando often. They have frequent low-flying planes carrying banners.
These would be constantly flying over Disney. Noisy helicopter services would start, to take people on sightseeing flights over the park.
In my opinion, it is time for the head of Disney to have a high profile news conference in Orlando, and make it clear he is ready to begin moving park features to nearby states, because the Republicans in this state are determined to destroy the desirability of the park for tourists. In a shareholder phone call I heard a few days ago, he sounded like he is getting TOTALLY fed up, and he sounded ready to look to other states for Disney future plans.
