I just don't get why people laud DeSantis for taking away the agile, local-level response capability of municipal governments and school districts. Do we need statewide or nationwide lockdowns? No.

Do we need schools to be able to decide that they need to go remote to facilitate some learning when they do not have enough available personnel due to COVID precautions to open a school facility instead of using weather days? Yes.

Do we need regional responses to their medical system getting swamped and edging towards being unable to respond to normal levels of emergency medical situations? Yes.


In my opinion, Kay Ivey has been the best governor in the Deep South during the pandemic. She's pulled back the state-level mandates when it was sensible and left most of the decision making to the municipalities and school districts. Everyone else seems to be self-aggrandizing rather than leading.
