Florida Governor Ron Desantis fired fire after senator Carlos Gilliamo Smith in the Democratic State criticized the state’s transition to the colors of the Nix rainbow from a cross -cross corridor in Orlando near the 2016 mass fire site in the night pulse club, which left 49 dead and others.

In a video posted on Thursday, the legislator said in the state: “In the middle of the night, the Ministry of Transport erupted the colors of the rainbow from this city.”

In response to the publication of the media outlet on X, which included Smith’s video, Desantis confirmed, “We will not allow the leadership of our state roads for political purposes.”

“The rainbow corridor was approved by the FDOT years ago to honor 49 + enhance the safety of pedestrians for those who come to pay their respect. I looked at the survivors in the eye + their promise will never be forgotten- then betrayed them for political ambition.

The mayor of Orlando Body Dyer also criticized the Sunshine state.

Deir said in a statement issued on Thursday: “We destroyed to learn that overnight the country that was drawn on the noble podium corridor on Orange Street.

“All safety corridors were installed in the city of Orlando in close coordination with the state and adhering to national safety standards. In fact, the cross -corridor, which is part of the memorial of the tone, was installed.”

Fdot Fox News Digital made a lengthy statement on Friday.

The administration affirmed that it must “ensure the safety and consistency of public roads and transportation systems”, which “means ensuring that our roads are not used for social, political or ideological interests.”

“Earlier this year, the administration has completed a period for a period of months to update the guide on the MUTCD traffic monitoring devices with inputs of government governments and local governments. This update included a ban on uniform traffic monitoring devices, such as pavement marks on government roads and local roads.” In June, FDOT informed all local governments of these updates and the revised provisions of the Florida laws that give the administration the authority to withhold state funds for non -compliance. This was followed by similar political updates from Duffy Secretary.

“Last week, local governments that are not compatible with local roads began receiving notifications to bring their roads to state standards to ensure the control of the local population accordingly.” “In addition to ensuring the compliance of all local governments, FDOT has completed a review of all the methods that have been maintained in the state, and they are now correcting the signs of the pavement other than compliance. This includes the art of street that pre -attached to the right of the state, such as the intersection of Orange Avenue.

The FDOT statement concluded that “the transportation infrastructure is for the movement of people and commodities. In this case, while the cross -corridor was restored to its appropriate form, local efforts are underway to create a permanent memorial on the neighboring real estate funded by Florida. Any attempt to suggest otherwise is a mistake.”
