The plan of the governor, which is a recommendation to members who actually write the state budget, include a lot of tax reductions, such as raising salaries of law execution agencies that appeal to the majority of Republican and Senate Republican Party and Senate. It is.
However, whether the blue photo has the weight of the six -earlier budget recommendation of Desantis may be formed by the stalemate deployment method. On Monday, the governor hung that the contract with the legislative leader is in progress.
“We had a great discussion,” said Desantis at a press conference on Monday morning. “I think we will land a plane. I haven’t announced it now, but we are convinced that we will reach it.”

According to the law, the governor must announce a budget recommendation at least 30 days before the start of a regular session starting on March 4 this year. Desantis has almost committed the deadline on Sunday night release.
However, the Democratic Party said that the outline could not focus on the states’s affordable struggles. Property insurance, housing purchase, and rent accounted for a huge percentage of the budget budget, said the House Democratic leader Fentlis Dreamkel’s tumper.
“The governor’s budget proposal is focusing on the headlines and leaving Florida’s family, focusing on the nation’s nationwide spotlights,” she said. “Florida is too expensive for many Floridans, and the cost of insurance, food and health care is rising rapidly.”
