‘Yes, in God's Backyard,' Florida AG’s memo targets racial equity laws, and more

This week on The Florida Roundup, we spoke about a new state law that gives cities the option to allow churches and other religious institutions to build affordable housing on their property regardless of zoning. First, we spoke with the sponsor of the law Sen. Alexis Calatayud (00:00) and then we heard from a pastor of a church in St. Petersburg that is close to breaking ground on a new housing development (15:16) Plus, we took a closer look at a recent legal opinion from Florida’s Attorney General calling for the state to stop enforcing many state laws giving preferences, quotas and other considerations based on race (20:26). And we asked our partners at PolitiFact what is and isn’t legal to do at a protest (32:58). Plus, more news from across the state including new property tax proposals (37:34), campaign announcements (40:02) and an update on Florida’s unusually cold weather (41:32).
