On this week\u2019s episode of Talking Central Florida, Kimberly Leonard, author of Politico\u2019s Florida Playbook, outlines the DeSantis administration\u2019s defense of a redrawn congressional map that could net Republicans four more seats, and how opponents argue it runs afoul of Florida\u2019s \u201cFair Districts\u201d amendments. Plus, the Florida House kills the governor\u2019s hopes of passing an AI \u201cbill of rights\u201d and expanding vaccine exemptions.<\/p>\n

Then, Ryan Gillespie from the Orlando Sentinel and Massiel Leyva from Spectrum News 13 discuss Orange County\u2019s moves to change its agreement with the federal government on ICE detainees at the county jail, and plans for a new facility in east Orange County to support a growing homeless population in the area.<\/p>\n
