Dear Unions: Feeling that Buyers’ Remorse yet?

Mar 18, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 8 comments

The United Auto Workers union has informed workers at the Avon Lake Ford plant that it plans to move a major project slated for 2023 from Northeast Ohio to its plant in Mexico.
The letter, dated Friday, March 12, stated that Ford is going back on its agreement to build a “next-generation vehicle” at the Avon Lake plant in 2023.

In 2019, the UAW says Ford promised to invest $900 million in a new project at the Avon Lake plant, that was set to begin production in 2023. The agreement also included a “complete revitalization” of the facility.

Ford plans to move new project from Avon Lake plant to Mexico

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hey, maybe this is a way that Ford has to keep Illegal immigrants for coming to the US. They should be thanked rather than criticized.
We told you that elections have consequences. Enjoy the 5 pound bag of manure you just bought.

Florida Legislature 2021: CS/HB 259 – Safety of Religious Institutions reported favorable by Judiciary Committee

Mar 17, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 0 comments

General Bill by Education & Employment Committee and Williamson and Byrd (CO-SPONSORS) Andrade; Brannan; DiCeglie; Duggan; Grall; Gregory; Harding; Hawkins; Ingoglia; Maggard; Maney; Massullo; McClain; Payne; Roach; Robinson, W.; Sabatini; Salzman; Shoaf; Sirois; Yarborough

Safety of Religious Institutions: Authorizes, for specified purposes, concealed weapons or firearms licensee to carry firearm on certain property of church, synagogue, or any other religious institution.

Read the new text.

This committee substitute text seems to have simplified the verbosity. IANAL but I don’t see anything negative with it.

 Notwithstanding any other law, for the purposes of safety, security, personal protection, or any other lawful purpose, a person licensed under this section may carry a concealed weapon or firearm on property owned, rented, leased, borrowed, or lawfully used by a church, synagogue, or other religious institution. This subsection does not limit the private property rights of a church, synagogue, or other religious institution to exercise control over property that the church, synagogue, or other religious institution owns, rents, leases, borrows, or lawfully uses.

I am guessing it now goes to the full floor to wait for the Senate’s companion bill.

HB 1343 – Issuance of Licenses to Carry Concealed Weapons or Firearms favorable to Civil Justice & Property Rights Subcommittee

Mar 17, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 0 comments

General Bill by Ingoglia
Issuance of Licenses to Carry Concealed Weapons or Firearms: Requires DACS to maintain an online application process for issuance of licenses & prohibiting it from arbitrarily or subjectively restricting access; provides for award of reasonable costs & attorney fees in successful actions against DACS to enforce specified provisions.

Read the text. 

Needs no explanation: Don’t mess with the CWL website. Marion Hammer from NRA / Unified Sportsmen of Florida waived in favor of the bill. Luis Valdez gave a quick but very insightful testimony also approving the bill. And the Hypocrite of the Day award goes to Representative Gottlieb (D) who opposed the bill but confessed to have a Concealed Weapons Permit and allegedly supports the Second Amendment.

Reported favorable 10-6 along party lines.  And the next stop should be the Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee.

Florida Legislature 2021: HB 1409 – Suing violators of State Preemption of Firearms ruled favorable by Civil Justice & Property Rights Subcommittee.

Mar 17, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 0 comments

General Bill by Byrd (CO-SPONSORS) Maggard; McClain
Preemption of Firearms and Ammunition Regulation: Provides that unwritten policies are subject to provisions allowing for recovery of damages if such policies violate specified provisions; provides that plaintiff challenging local government regulation concerning firearms may be considered prevailing plaintiff for certain purposes in specified circumstances.

Read the Bill. 

Companion and identical bill as  SB 1884 I covered yesterday. It passed 10 to 6. Two Republicans apparently MIA (no idea why) and the 6 nays were strictly Democrats. Don’t forget that we have bills proposed by Democrats to get rid of State Pre-emption, so it is no surprise they hated this one.  NRA and GOA waived in support and National Organization for Women waived against and that was it.

Next stop should be Local Administration & Veterans Affairs Subcommittee.
