Florida alcohol law and policy news.

[Tristan Wood @TristanDWood]

On Sept. 29, Tallahassee Mayor @JohnDaileyTLH’s reelection campaign received a total of $5,000 from the five committees, the most allowed under law. FPL and parent company @nexteraenergy gave about $2 million altogether to the five committees since 2019.

@insideFPL, @FLCrystalsCorp, @Disney and other big corporations provide most of the funding for five political committees run by @VoiceofFLBiz. This story by @Jason_Garcia released in April unpacks it well. https://t.co/EhUrnAYXjL

Dailey at the time accused Dozier of gaslighting the community "on an issue that does not exist" and challenged anyone to find a connection between FPL and Tallahassee elections. Judging by their contributions, however, they are now.

After spending millions in state and federal races over the last several election cycles, @insideFPL has now become involved in local Tallahassee elections. Read the rest of this thread to find out how.

A wannabe VancoreJones with none of the success. What a mess!

Just stick close to @MDixon55. He knows with bars stay open even during a hurricane.

Wasn’t there a shoot-out last week between Killearn residents and a smash-grab ring? Maybe Tallahassee City Commissioners should be focused on what led to that rather than last call?

#FSU announces it will start selling beer in a special section outside Doak Campbell Stadium ahead of home football games

Proper glassware. A variety of beer styles. Women and racial minorities brewing and drinking beer. Someone heard our pleas!

Florida’s population is projected to grow by 6 million over the next 12 years, which would lead to approximately 800 (!) new liquor licenses. #floridahospitality https://t.co/y5nF94I7rX

The quota system is the foundation of Florida's alcohol laws. The liquor license brokers don't want you to read this article.

Good for Big Beer and the pub around the corner.

InBev, Coors, etc. will flood every dive bar with branded drink ware. https://t.co/FZi8nMzI6X

HB 961, if signed by the Governor, will allow bars to accept free branded glassware from distributors. Cool beer glasses are coming back in style!

Florida beer consumers win! Right glass for the right beer enhancing the experience and elevates the entire beer category. Thank you for your sponsorship of this bill. https://t.co/me5UH1qIvA

[Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) @VoiceofFLBiz]

#HB961, going to @FLGovScott, is a win for FL businesses & consumers. This bill saves FL bars & restaurants, many of which are small businesses, money, & improves consumers’ experience by allowing them to enjoy beer the way it was meant to be served. #sayfie #flapol
