## Resource

Governor Ron DeSantis just signed Florida’s massive $117.6 billion budget — but with a twist: he vetoed $810 million worth of spending right before the new fiscal year began. Despite his repeated pledges to shrink government, this move actually reinforces his record of cutting state jobs, reducing debt, and shrinking the state’s footprint over four years. Big cuts hit the corrections system — slashing $500 million annually for 40 years from prison projects, including a new hospital, and killing $91 million in pay raises for officers tied to that funding. But he’s not cutting everywhere: $150 million boosts teacher pay, especially for veterans, and $665 million goes toward Everglades restoration — a key environmental priority. It’s a bold balancing act — trimming borrowing-heavy infrastructure while investing in education and nature.
