Florida is fining one of its counties for disobeying Florida's ban on vaccine mandates. This could get interesting. Conservative politicians issuing edicts and fines to countermand democrat mandates and fines. Good for Florida.

The state said the county had violated Florida's "vaccine passport" law, which prohibits businesses and governments from requiring people to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination.
"These are people that, presumably, have been serving throughout this whole time and now all of a sudden they’re basically getting kicked to the curb," DeSantis said in a news conference about the fired employees.
The law can result in $5,000 per violation.
"It is unacceptable that Leon County violated Florida law, infringed on current and former employees’ medical privacy, and fired loyal public servants because of their personal health decisions," DeSantis spokesperson Taryn Fenske said in a release. "Governor DeSantis will continue fighting for Floridians’ rights and the Florida Department of Health will continue to enforce the law."
