Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed over $1.5 billion worth of projects from the proposed budget. However, in North Florida majority of the projects were funded. North Florida Sen. Loranne Ausley (D-Tallahassee) says she is thankful that the smaller counties she serves were able to receive the funding they’ve needed for years.
"Calhoun County received 19 million dollars in special facilities funding to start rebuilding their schools after Hurricane Michael which is desperately needed," Ausley said.
Other projects funded include the Gadsden County Mobile Health Unit, as well as a new fire truck for Liberty County.
