Interesting to see the Governor and State Troopers breaking into a landfill of all places, trying to get debris in a central location I guess. Although unless they also have someone in this previously locked landfill burying or securing in some other manner all this debit, then it's just putting it all in one place you hope the hurricane doesn't hit?
Edit - Anyone in Florida and the surrounding areas stay safe! Evacuate if you can.
If only there was a government official that could have coordinated with the landfill
Government waste management is socialism.
Why use a nudge when you can have an agenda and a sledgehammer.
Should be arrested for vandalism and trespassing.
Wait, DeSantis is using his government effectively?
Seems an effective government would have organized taking this stuff to a landfill that was operating properly and would correctly store the debris.
Sounds like he sent trucks to a non operating landfill, then decided “landfills are just big fields you dump stuff right? It can’t possibly be more complicated than that”
Here’s a video about all the actual engineering that goes into proper waste management. Maybe the people that operated that landfill had roped it off because they knew no one would be there to correctly manage debris drop off

Okay, that sounds more like it.
By committing crimes?
