Jenn Meale Poggie, well known to the Capitol press corps for her comms work for then-Ag Comm'r Adam Putnam and then-AG Pam Bondi, now runs her own firm. She's starting her own PR campaign against mandatory reporting by HS students of their menstrual cycles. #FlaPol
1/
She launched the "Privacy. Period!" campaign today to persuade @FHSAA from adopting "four questions about teenaged girls' menstrual cycles to provide to athletic departments in order to compete in sports."
2/
@FHSAA Meale Poggie, who has three daughters, says menstrual cycles "are private, and any conversations or disclosure about them should be among the girl, the parents and their physicians."
3/
@FHSAA "Requiring disclosure about periods to athletic departments is a complete overstep and violation of privacy. Athletic departments need to stay out of health care and respect female athletes' privacy," she added.

In a memo sent earlier this month, the office of @GovRonDeSantis has asked the presidents of all the state's public universities to provide information on any services they provide "to persons suffering from gender dysphoria."
#FlaPol
@GovRonDeSantis The memo was sent by Chris Spencer, DeSantis' director of budget and policy. "The universities are to ensure responses do not contain personally identifiable information or protected health information and are provided in an aggregated and de-identified format."
@GovRonDeSantis Their responses are due by Feb. 10. And I need to correct: the memo actually was sent to the universities' board of trustees chairs. In his memo, Mr. Spencer notes that state universities are under the executive branch of state government.

@HealthyFla A notice of "nolle prosequi" as it's called, however, is not in the online court docket. State Attorney Jack Campbell has not yet responded to a message seeking confirmation. An email to her attorney bounced back, saying he was no longer with his firm.
@HealthyFla What was recently placed on the docket is an amended "information," or charging document, on Nov. 18, and a notice of cancellation of depositions that were supposed to take place this Tuesday.
