Tampa mayor blindsided by DeSantis order ending Florida safety measures
If you dial 813-274-8251, you'll get Mayor Jane Castor's office, and Tampa's chill enough that they might just put Her Honor on the phone.
State of play: That might be why she was surprised to hear Gov. Ron DeSantis say Monday that he's using executive power to unilaterally end local pandemic safety measures effective immediately.
The governor never called the mayor of Florida's third largest city.
"There was no consultation or warning prior to that announcement," Castor told Axios' Niala Boodhoo for Axios Today.
