https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2022/03/03/florida-house-avoids-voting-to-divest-from-russia-over-ukraine-invasion/During a floor session, state Rep. Andrew Learned, D-Brandon, proposed amending a bill to prohibit the State Board of Administration from investing Florida Retirement System assets in any company, Russian or otherwise, that does business with the Russian government. The move was in response to Russian President Vladimir Putins decision to invade Ukraine.
But despite bipartisan calls for the state to dump its investment in Russian-based assets and despite steps to do so by some other states Florida lawmakers have not.
However, as of February 28, their most significant holdings included:
Rosneft, the Russian energy giant;
Sberbank of Russia, the countrys largest lender;
Norilsk Nickel, a Russian mining and smelting company;
Lukoil, an oil producer that also has gas stations in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania;
and Magnit, one of its top grocery chains.

It is no wonder Floridah wants to take a soft and gentle approach about fucking filthy Russian real-estate acquisition flood within the State of Floridah and dirty filthy laundered Russian money deposited in Foridah banks and financial institutions proping that economy up while keeping the DeSantis administration afloat, and the state swimming in hilariously illegal funny Russian money.
Tell me again - why all that is not totally down right pathetic and highly questionable.
