Title: He Made DeSantis Rewrite the Book Ban Law. Now He’s Coming for Your Black and Tans.
Location: City of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida
Excerpt: Press release announcing the Fort Lauderdale demand letter and 8-custodian omnibus PRR targeting the City’s support for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Las Olas Greek Festival, and Juneteenth programming. Frames the local angle for Sun Sentinel and South Florida media: Lauderdale has been funding, staffing, and promoting the St. Paddy’s parade since 1967. Quotes Stevens on the dragnet PRR, the certification trap, and the “economic development” defense that fails on the statute’s own terms.

Comments: For immediate release. Local Fort Lauderdale angle is strongest hook for Sun Sentinel. Jack Seiler / “City’s Official Leprechaun” reference is a solid local color beat. Contains the eight-custodian dragnet framing and the § 287.139 certification trap. Note: “civic activist” in About section — flag for revision.
