Kudos to Gambling Guv, Ron DeSantis, for landmark sports betting breakthrough | Commentary

In case you missed it, DeSantis signed a landmark gambling deal Friday with the Seminole Tribe of Florida that could and should bring legalized sports betting to Florida and generate countless billions of dollars in revenue for our state. Of course, the deal still needs to be passed by the Florida Legislature, which will take up the issue in a special session that starts May 17.

I realize our state politicians historically do stupid stuff (see Cross Florida Barge Canal), but not even they would be ignorant enough to vote against this legislation.

As far as bets go, DeSantis’s gambling deal is the biggest sure thing this side of Joel Greenberg getting jail time.
