On Wednesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the upcoming fiscal year's budget.
In April, lawmakers passed the budget to the tune of $101.5 billion, with $6 billion being left in state reserves. DeSantis said during a press conference in New Smyrna Beach that, right now, the budget actually shows $9.5 billion in reserves.
DeSantis said what he was vetoed $1.5 billion in total spending, including $1.35 billion from federal funds received under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
