Governor Ron DeSantis was in the Big Bend region of the state this morning, visiting a restaurant that was destroyed by Hurricane Helene.
Roy's Restaurant in Steinhatchee is in pieces and wants to use a food truck that was donated to them to get back in businesses and be able to serve while they are rebuilding. DeSantis says bureaucracy was getting in the way and he "doesn't have time for bureaucracy."
So the governor says he has directed the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to allow Roy's and other businesses devastated by the storm to "get creative" in order to stay in business.
The emergency order will allow the owners to use the food truck immediately.
