Gov. Ron DeSantis trimmed $510.9 million from a record-high state spending plan signed Thursday, with nearly one-fifth of the cuts coming from a single program designed to keep swaths of rural property from commercial and residential development.
Gov. Ron DeSantis trimmed over a half billion dollars from the spending plan that goes into effect July 1st. The line-item vetoes put the budget at roughly $116.5 billion.
The vetoes included $100 million for Conservation And Rural Land Protection easements. "Agriculture was harmed today," Republican Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson said.
