The Construction and subsequent teardown of Alligator Alcatraz will cost taxpayers an easy $320 million—money that could house every Floridian experiencing homelessness. Imagine if Gov. DeSantis found as much joy in transforming lives as he does in destroying them.
This Florida, stop the mafness!!
DeSantis is a sociopath. Like Stephan and Katie Miller, Kristie Noem, Sean Duffy, and the Big fat bag of orange trans fat, these people have more in common with serial killers than they do with Americans.
I’m sure all the companies that built and now will tear the place down got the contracts because of campaign contributions and will be paid by tax dollars. I seem to remember something about no-bid contracts being awarded because, er, it’s an emergency!
DeSatan has done nothing but destroy Florida. I can't wait for him to be gone. 2026 is way to far away. I want him and his shady wife in jail. But crime pays these days for Republicans.
Didn't they take money from FEMA too? If they did people who needed help from floods and shit got shafted for nothing
I don’t want to hear about DeSantis requesting Federal $$ after the next hurricane
Maga doesn't do helpful things, just destructive, and wasteful.
How fortunate for his buddies that own the companies that got paid to build it and now get to double-dip and get paid to tear it down. Since he got grief stealing Medicaid funds and funneling it to his wife’s “charity”, this is a win-win for DuhSantis and his friends to steal from Florida taxpayers.
The true cost of building that shithole is estimated at 608 million. That doesn't include the teardown cost. As long as DeSantis is around, it will never completely cease operations. There will always be covert flights out of that airport.
Ron and his buddies don't care, they got their $$
I'd never wish anything bad upon anyone ( I will say to FO, but not in a wish ), but it's inevitable another hurricane will hit Fla. ( my sister 17 months older lives there, and dear to me ) but $320 million would have gone a long way in preparation, think before acting Fla.
What was his cut?
And MUCH of that money is going into grifters' pockets. They are delighted that they now "have to" do this again.
It’s a pattern. No bid construction projects to your buddies, who get rewarded generously with a certain portion kicked back to the governor, then tear it using the same system. Repeat as often as possible.
F DeSantis.
As long as it’s not their money they don’t care!
If Gov. DeSantis found as much joy in transforming lives as he does in destroying them, he wouldn't be a Republican.
The despot should forfeit his salary for the rest of his reign as reimbursement for construction AND dismantling. A suit should be filed against his assets for the remainder. FEMA funds were used for construction & operating, while the despot plans to eliminate it. He stole our $. WE WANT A REFUND!
MAGAT Tally must to be audited starting with the office of Ronnie “Meatballs” DeSantis. Meatballs has cheated Florida taxpayers out of their hard earned wages for too long.
He (DeSantis) should be made to pay for alligator Alcatraz
Not to mention all the environmental damage that has been done. It would cost even more if the government actually cared enough to spend money to fix it.
I actually can't imagine that
Desantis is just a talking mop
desantis should be forced to live in it until his term ends next year
But his friends made a lot of money. Isn't that all that counts? 😒
On no Trump has to waist money on stupid shit !
DeSatanist tried to impose his religious strictures on us all yet he forgot thou shalt not steal from the poorest among us
Florida may be paying the bills but the great deal maker promised to pay Florida back. In addition, he is constructing construct another one of equal quality in Texas. They could have house homeless or fed children, but no. Their priorities suck.
Floridian Republicans approve!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Don’t they ? 🙄💀
And yet...I'll bet you this doesn't get half as much public grumbling about "wasting our taxpayer dollars" as *anything* done to help the homeless.
who/which company had that contract??
contractors chosen by DeSantis administration to build and operate the facility, bypassing competitive bidding requirements. The project is funded by Florida taxpayers, with the state seeking reimbursement from the federal gov. SLSCO Ltd. Garner Environmental Services. CDR Companies. Gotham's LLC

Does he even know joy?
Not soon enough. Money… Florida is embarrassing. Total joke. Disgusting. The majority of Americans could give 2 shits about the homeless… We don’t care about kids or vets! Homelessness, MAGA doesn’t believe in vaccines, or math at large.When haters elect racist idiots… Wrench in democracy!
That could have been good money spent golfing! 😡😂
That was a lot of hurricane relief.
Concentration camps are the distraction. Your prisons are being built as data centers. They will know everything about you and control everything you are allowed to do. The super rich tech fux have to go.
If DeSantis wanted to help people instead of causing harm to them he wouldn't be a Republican.
He was a bullied child. Like Hitler, Trump, Musk, Ozzy, Falwell and Huckabee
If he really wanted to help Floridians he never would have built the concentration camp in the first place.
BASTARDS!!!!!
