Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis issued a warning to major U.S. banks, criticizing a campaign led by more than 100 activist organizations aiming to restrict financial services to meat and dairy businesses.
Patronis condemned the effort, calling it an “insane” attempt to undermine Florida’s agricultural economy and vowed swift action against any financial discrimination targeting the state’s livestock industry.
In a letter to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Patronis highlighted a coalition led by the group “Friends of the Earth,” which demands banks halt financing for meat, dairy, and animal feed operations.
