. The agency and departments that run state operations are, by law, not partisan nor political, and may not participate in campaign activity. But one appears to be with a website not only opposing Abortion Rights Amendment on your November ballot, but calling supporters fear Mongerers now legal action and more is underway against the agency f Health Care Administration. >> Like amendment for an abortion amendment, campaigns against and for may be partisan and political official state business may not, which is why better health care for all Floridians is this Florida department head under scrutiny and under fire? >> The agency for Health Care Administration posting what appears to be part of a campaign against the upcoming vote on amendment four that will allow voters to choose whether to take government out of abortion, health care decisions and eliminate all pro-li protections. The governor has been working to defeat that amendment. A massive grassroots effort to put the questions to voters in the wake of Florida's tight and timelines for pregnancy termination, is now only legal before six weeks. >> You don't use state resources, you don't use a state agency website that is supposed to be apolitical, completely agnostic as as it relates to the politics and the philosophy and policy. >> While state Democrats crafted legal action against ACA today, the incoming Senate Minority leader tried diplomacy first and said, listen, uh, this is my good faith, honest belief that this is in violation of the law. >> Uh, and what's of greater importance is that, you know, the content is removed before it continues to do any harm. That apparently failed the official department response, a prepared statement that says the web page is to provide information and transparency to Floridians and that many in the media have not covered it correctly. >> Besides legal action, Florida Democrats are asking for all communication options, emails, etc. to see who is involved with directing that ACA. Posting the governor's administrators have been challenging the amendment from the start. First, it's very place on the ballot and that didn't work. And then they added their own language to the ballot question. And now as of today, state election police are looking for evidence of problems with the petition signatures that first got it on the ballot. They have yet to find that.
