Last Call â A prime-time read of whatâs going down in Florida politics.

Agriculture Commissioner
Nikki Fried said sheâs getting money for Floridaâs school lunches from the federal government after being ignored by Gov.
Ron DeSantis. A spokesperson for the Governor called Friedâs allegation âludicrous.â
Fried announced Tuesday that the federal government is handing down $93 million to Florida schools to help offset school lunch losses during the 2020 school year.
Fried said the federal money comes after DeSantis ignored requests from FDACS to use federal relief money from the CARES Act for the deficit. DeSantis in 2020 largely made decisions about how to allocate around $8 billion of CARES money handed down to Florida to help with coronavirus relief.
