💨 Abstract

President DeSantis signed about 115 billion USD in Florida's budget just before July 1st, finalizing a 105-day legislative session, including political tensions within the GOP. The budget, nearly 4 billion USD smaller, incorporates tax cuts and increased salaries for state workers, with 1.3 billion USD in tax cuts, and funds mainly benefiting private education and law enforcement. DeSantis leveraged his line-item veto power to reduce spending.
