It was posted on here already but a new law went into place in July that bans all cities from creating their own ordinances on drone usage. This forced some cities, such as Orlando who made it near impossible to fly in their city for hobby or professional reasons, to repeal their ordinances.
In this, the city repealed it, but, did a lot of "it's not fair" and "that state is over stepping their rule" bellyaching.
What I find interesting is the entire thing about over stepping. If I recall, airspace is under the FAA control. The city over stepped by enacting ordinances over something they had no right to. The state stepped in, which honestly should have been the feds, but, the state stepped in and had them take a step back.
This article is pretty comical to read:

It does also talk about medical marijuana in that article, which is where Orlando over stepped the state where a vote made it legal to try and say it would stay illegal in their city... basically, Orlando law makers feel state and federal laws don't apply to them.
