Gov. Ron DeSantis used his line-item veto power to slash more than $131 million in proposed spending as he signed a record $90.98 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
Calling the package “fiscally responsible,” the freshman governor praised lawmakers for exceeding his request for spending on environmental projects and for a boost in per-student funding in public schools.
“I think that we put taxpayers first, but I think the key issues that Floridians care about, things like the environment, things like education, things like transportation, we were there to really make a difference,” he said.
