It appears that Polk County escaped any vetoes of funding items in Florida’s $101.5 billion budget.
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office released a list of line-item vetoes Wednesday as he announced his signing of the appropriations bill in New Smyrna Beach. DeSantis trimmed about $1.5 billion from the budget submitted by the Florida Legislature.
A scan of the veto list found no cuts for Polk County projects. By contrast, DeSantis vetoed about $1.4 million in local appropriations last year.
Some Polk County legislators said before the session began in March that they would be more selective than usual in making funding requests. The state’s financial outlook appeared dire at that point as the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a projected decline in state revenue.
Polk County investigators are trying to track down $70,000 worth of heavy equipment stolen from a ranch. The owner is offering a reward for information.

Universities are starting to lay out plans for COVID-19 vaccines for next school year.
Dozens of institutions across the country have announced plans to mandate them for students. However, out of nearly two dozen Florida schools ABC Action News checked in with only one, Nova Southeastern University, has announced plans to require them.
âI think weâre seeing more and more a trend that major universities, even smaller ones, are saying we want to bring students back. Everybodyâs been disadvantaged as a consequence of it, we want to protect everybody so if youâre gonna come back youâre gonna have to have a vaccine. Itâs not gonna be universal. Florida schools are probably going to wait to see what the governor says,â said Jay Wolfson, a senior associate dean at USFâs Morsani College of Medicine.
