Tracking Russian Divestment in Florida

What’s happening? Florida Legislature for procedural reasons did not vote on a Russian divestment amendment. The Florida Governor has not called for divestment. Florida Sen. Rick Scott has called for states to “end relationships with the Russian governments.

Why is this important? In contrast, the Florida Governor pushed for divestment from Ben & Jerry’s.

How will this be important? The politicization of investment funds is a gaining steam.
