Ron DeSantis signed legislation on Tuesday dissolving the city of Weeki Wachee. But with only 13 residents, the city was insolvent and offered no visible services to a small business community paying its taxes. The city's demise will have no real effect on the Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, officials said. The mermaids at Weeki Wachee State Park have been a staple of Florida tourism since 1947.
