Ron DeSantis' Great Outdoors Initiative unveiled its absurdly named Great Outdoor Initiative last week .

It would pave over thousands of unspoiled acres at nine state parks and erect 350 -room hotels, golf courses and pickleball courts.

The outcry was immediate, overwhelming and unprecedented and unprecedented.

Scores of Republican state congress members and senators lined up to denounce the projects.

DeSantis denied he ever had such a grip on anything.

He said anybody who thought he was dictating anything was “misunderstanding politics” Florida Democrats seized the moment and tweeted a picture of the governor’s humiliation.

The governor will be termed out of office in January 2027 and will be a lame duck governor.
