Florida GOP Consolidation of Power

Miami state Rep. Jose Oliva is a hardcore ideologue who believes in Koch-Brothers-style, pro-business, libertarian-esque Republicanism. 

He supports the state's right to "preempt" towns from making their own laws as a way to stop local governments from, in his mind, improperly interfering with business, the economy, or people's lives.

Under his leadership, the Florida GOP in 2019 made good: It pitched a slew of preemption laws to hamper local towns' rights to regulate everything from plastic straws all the way to job responsibilities, work hours, and employee benefits. HERE
