Jerry Demings on Jobs

 

 


Complied with anti-DEI order to avoid losing federal money

Additionally, one order contains a requirement that federal grant recipients shall not have programs of diversity, equity, or inclusion. For Orange County, that could mean the loss of over $100 million in grant money, and its leaders could face criminal charges under the False Claims Act. Mayor Jerry Demings expressed his distaste for complying with the orders, but he said he isn't willing to put the county or himself at risk.
