vetoes

The Orlando Fringe and Tampa Fringe are offering to give up their grants if Gov. Ron DeSantis restores the $32 million in funding he nixed for more than 600 arts groups.

The move to save about 200 jobs comes after Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed money that pays for “legislative support services.” It was cut from the budget that starts July 1st.

The 16 pages of cuts ranged from as little as $10,500 for a county public works generator to $80 million for group insurance for the state college system.

Gov. Ron DeSantis trimmed over a half billion dollars from the spending plan that goes into effect July 1st. The line-item vetoes put the budget at roughly $116.5 billion.

House members have filed nearly 750 proposals as they take a second shot at bringing home tax dollars for local projects and programs.

Pointing to a need to further brace the state against a potential recession, Gov. Ron DeSantis issued $3.13 billion in vetoes Thursday as he signed a $109.9 billion budget for the fiscal year that will begin July 1.
