Florida Launches Investigation into Starbucks' Diversity Practices

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and Governor Ron DeSantis have announced a state investigation into Starbucks' diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices to determine if they violate Florida's anti-discrimination laws. This follows a federal court ruling that deemed the 2023 Stop Woke Act unconstitutional when applied to businesses. Moody's complaint argues that Starbucks' DEI goals, which include specific racial quotas tied to executive bonuses, may breach federal and state civil rights acts. The Florida Commission on Human Relations will conduct the investigation.

Florida Takes Step Closer to Legalizing Recreational Marijuana.

The proposed ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana in Florida has gathered enough signatures to put it on the ballot in 2024. The constitutional amendment, proposed by Smart & Safe Florida, gathered 967,528 valid signatures, more than 70,000 above the requirement to reach the ballot. However, it still faces a Florida Supreme Court review and an expected legal challenge from state Attorney General Ashley Moody. If it makes it on the ballot, the marijuana legalization proposal could boost voter turnout and possibly influence the 2024 races in Florida. Trulieve, the medical marijuana giant, has spent $38.4 million to get the new measure on the ballot.
