TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a $100 billion budget Wednesday after vetoing $1.5 billion, including $1 billion in federal money for an emergency response fund he said had strings attached that made it unusable.
DeSantis held a bill signing ceremony at a New Smyrna Beach restaurant and used the event to boast about his response to the coronavirus pandemic, saying fully opening Florida to business early helped the economy rebound faster and stronger than expected.
“A lot of people were trying to tell me to close restaurants like this last summer. We didn t do it. We kept business open, we got kids in school,” DeSantis said. The result was our economy really started to rebound.
