Vetoes
Gov. Ron DeSantis’ line-item veto list was released late Thursday afternoon.
- Escambia and Santa Rosa counties survived the process well. Howeve, Gov. DeSantis did veto $5 million for tearing down UWF’s Southside Residence Hall.
Dig Deeper: Jacksonville reporter Andrew Pantanzi totaled the amount vetoed funds by legislators (based on who filed the SF/HF appropriation requests that got vetoed).
- Sen. Doug Broxson ($6.1 million) and Rep. Michelle Salzman ($5.1 million) had more than $5 million vetoed. Rep. Alex Andrade only had $920,000 cut. Santa Rosa’s Rep. Joel Rudman had nothing vetoed.
Broxson and Andrade had 3% and 2% of their appropriations vetoed respectively, Salzman 8%.
Rep. Andrade will be my guest at 7 a.m. on WCOA this morning.
