DeSantis budget has big promises; Democrats call it fictitious January 28, 2021 at 4:45 PM EST - Updated January 28 at 4:45 PM
Florida s governor wants to spend about $4.3 billion more next fiscal year. That s despite the ongoing pandemic, which brought historic job losses, business closures and weakened tourism. We re in better shape because we made decisions that benefited the state, DeSantis said while announcing his 2021-2022 budget proposal Thursday.
The $96.6 billion Florida Leads proposal is possible after smart use of CARES dollars and better-than-expected revenue, the Republican said. It calls for no new taxes, mass layoffs, major cuts or dipping into state reserves. Other areas have done things that destroyed their societies, their economies. Maybe they ll come back, but I think it s going to be a lot easier for Florida because we took steps early and kept the state afloat.
