Valdés-Fauli, along with other mayors across the state, are subject to a state law enacted in 2011 that threatens harsh penalties for municipalities who attempt to pass any of their own laws regarding gun control within their jurisdictions. If a city so much as calls a meeting to discuss the possibility, the officials who promulgate (or pass) such a law are each liable for a personal fee of $5,000, and could be removed from office by the governor. Their cities are also on the hook for potential legal fees incurred if Florida citizens or attorneys file lawsuits against them. |

God forbid that city officials be held accountable for their unlawful actions!
After the last round of unConstitutional restrictions, which the Republicans voted for, and the republican governor signed, I quit the Republican party.
If this law changes, I shall move from Florida! |
