Welcome back to OnThePoint. This is Greg C. Truax.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed the new state budget. It’s a $116.5 billion plan, a responsible reduction in state spending.
The state budget makes significant investments in Florida’s top priorities while importantly ensuring $17 billion in budgetary reserves.
Key highlights include substantial tax relief for citizens totaling $1.5 billion, plus $450 million in toll relief.
It also strengthens our top-ranked education system, supports law enforcement, enhances disaster preparedness, and promotes economic development and environmental conservation.
Thanks to the governor, Florida has reduced its tax-supported state debt by over 36 percent.
