Florida's warmist governor extends state of emergency over cold weather

Charlie Crist Extends Weather Emergency Period to Protect Agriculture | Sunshine State News
On Wednesday, Gov. Charlie Crist extended an executive order issued earlier in the month declaring a state of emergency in the Sunshine State due to the continued cold weather. Crist extended the order, which eliminates all weight restrictions on trucks carrying agricultural products, until January 7.

“As the danger posed by freezing temperatures continues in Florida, I am issuing this executive order to extend for an additional seven days a state of emergency to ensure timely precautions are taken to protect Florida’s agricultural interests,” noted Crist. “As governor, I am responsible to meet the dangers presented to this state and its people by this emergency.”
