Florida’s Bold Budget Move | US News
Description
Florida’s governor just signed a historic $117.6 billion budget — the fourth straight year shrinking state spending while boosting reserves, paying down debt, and slashing legislative requests with veto power. He’s proudly comparing Florida’s lean, efficient model to bloated states like New York, noting smaller payrolls and record-high per-pupil education funding. Tax relief is front and center: permanent sales tax holidays for back-to-school and disaster prep, baby and sunscreen exemptions, and refunds for hurricane-resistant windows. Education gets a record $30 billion — including teacher pay raises and scholarships for 500K students. Big bets are also on infrastructure, Everglades restoration, affordable housing, and law enforcement recruitment — all while keeping Florida’s credit strong and growth on track.
