Florida Cabinet

Florida is moving forward with plans to buy and retrofit a massive warehouse in Auburndale as a staging area to respond to hurricanes and other emergencies.

The number of meetings is significantly less than what other previous administrations had scheduled.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday approved spending $19 million to conserve rural land used for cattle, while also expanding a list of agricultural properties the state could help shield from residential or commercial development.

Outgoing Senate President Wilton Simpson was elected agriculture commissioner while Attorney General Ashley Moody and CFO Jimmy Patronis won second terms.

The governor now has the power to appoint most agency heads, subject to confirmation by the Senate. The new law changes the process for several appointments that involve the Cabinet.

When the state consolidated the Cabinet down to three positions nearly two decades ago, Florida law failed to update accordingly.
