In a recent interview with Javier Manjarres of The Shark Tank, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, commenting on SB 10, what we've labeled Negron's Land Grab, warned "there is no federal money for it."
This stands in stark contrast to the bill's promise that "the feds would offer a 50/50 match of that $1.2 billion" price tag, as reported by FloridaPolitics.
Rubio also showed much needed concern for those communities targeted by this bill, saying, "What about the people that live in those communities? What about Pahokee, what about those cities in the glades communities that are going to get wiped out. If you buy up all that farmland, that means there’s no farming, that means these cities collapse, they basically turning ghost towns."
