Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has called upon Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) to end the “Great Outdoors Initiative,” a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) proposal with plans to construct lodging, glamping sites, pickleball courts, and/or golf courses in at least nine different state parks. This has infuriated legislators on both sides of the aisle including State Senate President Kathleen Passidomo (R-FL), U.S. Representatives Brian Mast (R-FL), Kathy Castor (D-FL), conservationists around the Sunshine State, and now Rep. Gaetz.
